13. C.J. Mosley

An NCAA Champion and SEC Defensive Player of the Year, C.J. Mosley would be a 1st Round Draft Pick by the Ravens in 2014 and was an instant success going to the Pro Bowl and earning a Second Team All-Pro nod.  Mosley was a tackling industry recording over 100 Combined Tackles in four of his five seasons with Baltimore and he would match his rookie year in 2016, 2017 and 2018 with Second Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl Selections.  Mosley didn’t pass rush much (he only had 8.5 Quarterback Sacks) but interior work was extraordinary and it was a significant loss for the team when he signed with the New York Jets after the 2018 Season.

Shawn Springs was the top Cornerback taken in the 1997 Draft (3rd Overall) by the Seattle Seahawks, and the Ohio State Buckeye would play there for the first seven seasons of his career.

Like many Kickers, Norm Johnson was not drafted, but the Seahawks signed the UCLA player in training camp, and he made the team as their primary Place Kicker.

Russell Okung came from Oklahoma State as a First Round Pick (Sixth Overall) in 2010, and he was immediately slotted in as the Seattle Seahawks’ starting Left Tackle.  Okung played for Seattle for five years, and as long as he was wearing a helmet, he was starting.  He provided stability to Russell Wilson's left side, and he was a significant factor in the Seahawks back-to-back AFC Championships, and their Super Bowl XLVIII win.
