For a two year period Miles Austin was one of the most dynamic Wide Receivers in football.  Undrafted out of Monmouth, Austin would work his way as a regular fixture in his fourth season (2009) with the Dallas Cowboys and would record a career high of 1,320 Yards on 81 Receptions and go to his first of two straight Pro Bowls.  He would have 1,000 Yards again in 2010, but he would not ever come close to that benchmark for the rest of his career.

Michael Vick may be best known in some circles for his dogfighting ring that cost him two years in the NFL, but prior to that, the first overall pick from Virginia Tech was one of the most exciting players in Football; in fact, some would argue that, for a time, he was the most exciting player in the game.  

Vick took the mobile pivot to a completely new level in professional football.  Vick was the ultimate dual-threat, terrorizing defensive coordinators who struggled to contain him.  The Quarterback holds the record for Rushing Yards by a Quarterback in a season (1,039) and in a career (6,109), both records that could hold for years, even in the era of rushing QBs.  

Losing two years certainly cost him a Hall of Fame career, but his comeback with the Philadelphia Eagles certainly made an excellent redemption story with a return to the Pro Bowl in 2010.

LaMarr Woodley was a beast at the University of Michigan where he won the Ted Hendricks Award in 2006 as the top Defensive End in the NCAA.  As a pro he would have three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers where he had three seasons in a row of 10 Sacks, but his 2009 season was truly magical.  That year, he would go to his first and only Pro Bowl, help the Steelers win the Super Bowl and become the first player to have multiple sacks in four consecutive post-season games.
