Drafted 3rd Overall in the 1985 NFL Draft, the former Texas A&M Aggie was settling into a nice role where he played Defensive End for the Houston Oilers. He did well and would go to his first Pro Bowl in 1988, but a switch from the 3-4 to 4-3 Defense forced Childress to move to Defensive Tackle, and it fit him perfectly.
Usually, when you speak of a five-year career in any sport, you can't be talking about a great player. Not very many people had a five-year run like Cecil Isbell.
Darren Woodson arrived in Dallas as one of the Draft Picks acquired in the Herschel Walker trade, and the 2nd Rounder from Arizona State wasted little time establishing himself as a force in the Cowboys Secondary, even though he was a Linebacker in college. A member of the All-Rookie Team, Woodson aided Dallas to a win in Super Bowl XXVII and subsequently Super Bowl XXVIII and in the season after he would begin a three-year streak of First Team All-Pros and five year run of Pro Bowls. This period would also see Woodson win his third Super Bowl (XXX).
In the 1960s, the Los Angeles Rams defense was primarily known for its "Fearsome Foursome" Defensive Line, but there was a star in their Secondary by the name of Eddie Meador, who would be chosen for six Pro Bowls. Meador came from Arkansas Tech and would become the starting Left Cornerback in his second season. That year (1960), he would be named to the Pro Bowl, but when he moved to Right Safety in 1964, he was in a better spot for his skill set. Meador would go to five straight Pro Bowls (1964-68) and was a First Time All-Pro in both 1968 and 1969.
