A member of the All-Time Pittsburgh Steelers team, Carnell Lake, would be named to four of his five Pro Bowls there, those four being consecutive (1994 to 1997).  Used predominantly at Strong Safety, Lake would be A First Team All-Pro in 1997 and is one of the few Defensive Backs how had at least 15 Sacks and 15 Interceptions.  Lake would finish his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens, and while his overall INT numbers (16), his versatility and ability to rush the QB, made him one of the most dangerous players in Steelers history.

The Washington Redskins drafted Brian Mitchell in the 5^th Round of the 1990 Draft, where the Running Back found his true calling as a Return Specialist.  Mitchell played the entire 1990s with Washington, where he would win a Super Bowl (XXVI), and with his vast amount of returns (both kick and punt), he was a four-time league leader in All-Purpose Yards (1994, 1995, 1996 & 1998).  While he was only a Pro Bowl Selection once, there was no doubt that he was the most dependable Special Teams player of the decade.

An SEC Player of the Year in 1939 with LSU, Ken Kavanaugh was chosen by the Chicago Bears the following year in the 3^rd Round of the NFL Draft.  The End would be a member of the dominant “Monsters of the Midway” where the won back-to-back NFL Championships (1940 & 1941), scoring a TD in the first one (which was the lopsided 73-0 dismantling of the Washington Redskins).

Andy Russell debuted for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1963, and he had to sit out his next two seasons due to ROTC commitments.  He would return to the Steelers in 1967, and in 1968 he would be chosen for his first Pro Bowl in 1970.  He would become a perennial Pro Bowl Selection from that year until 1975, and the Linebacker was an early member of the Steel Curtain Defense, where he would help them win their first two Super Bowls.
