Jahri Evans was unique in that he didn’t play competitive football until high school, and what a career he would have!

Evans was a fourth-round pick from Bloomsburg University in 2006 by the New Orleans Saints.  He played right guard and won the starting role in training camp.  Part of the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl XLIV Championship Team, Evans spent 11 years with the Saints, earning six Pro Bowl selections, four First-Team All-Pro selections, and a spot on the 2010s All-Decade Team.  Evans was one of the best pure blockers in his era, using his speed and wingspan to carve out holes for his rushers and protect Drew Brees.  How many Saints wins can be attributed to Evans' work in the trenches?  A lot!

Overall, Evans started all 183 of his NFL Games, an incredible feat from a terrific football player.

Eddie Lacy won three National Championships when he was at the University of Alabama, so he certainly came into the National Football League with s winning pedigree.

C.J. Spiller was named the ACC Player of the Year in 2009, and the Running Back was the Ninth Overall Pick the following year, chosen by the Buffalo Bills.

Undrafted in 2009, Marcel Reece was signed by the Oakland Raiders and would become a fixture on their roster the following year.  Reece went to three straight Pro Bowls (2012-14) and was a Second Team All-Pro in 2013.  He would rush for 2,088 Yards and had another 844 from the air with 15 total Touchdowns.
