A former team MVP on a loaded USC team, Joey Browner came to the Minnesota Vikings with a lot of expectations on his shoulder, all of which he delivered on.  Browner was not just a great ball hawk but was a brilliant open-field tackler and capable of running down any receiver and bring them down with only one hand.  Any wonder why he went to six Pro Bowls and four All-Madden Teams? 

Grady Alderman is one of the forgotten stars of the Minnesota Vikings.  In the 1960s, Alderman went to six Pro Bowls and earned First Team All-Pro honors in 1969.  The “Last of the Original Vikings” would go on to have a successful career as an executive with the Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos.

A star Wide Receiver at San Diego State, Kassim Osgood went undrafted in 2003 and had to fight his way onto the Chargers roster.  He would make it, and would go to three Pro Bowls, though none of them would be at Wide Receiver, where he would be used sparingly over his career.  Rather, his star would rise on Special Teams.
