Leon Washington, a star Running Back out of Florida State would have significant rushes professionally, but it was as a Return Specialist where he would achieve his greatest success.  He would make two trips to the Pro Bowl as a Returner, and in 2008 he would lead the NFL in All Purpose Yards and was named the NFL Alumni Special Teams Player of the Year.

A Minnesota Viking for seven of his twelve NFL seasons, Gary Zimmerman started all 108 Games he played while wearing purple.  Zimmerman came to Minnesota following two very productive seasons in the USFL and quietly put together one of the best careers a Left Tackle ever had.  We have to say quietly as Zimmerman was known for not speaking with the media!  Zimmerman would later win a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame inducted Zimmerman in 2008.

Arguably, Jared Allen would be in the top five if this ranking was based on popularity, though we have to wonder of that glorious mullet he once sported moved him up a couple of spots.

While Matt Birk would win the Super Bowl in his final professional game as a member of the Baltimore Ravens, it was with the Vikings where he was at the top of his game.  Birk would become a very stable presence in the middle and you can believe his backfield was happy to have him as the anchor!  Birk went to six Pro Bowls as a Viking.  Not bad for a 6th Round pick from Harvard!
