Still with the Dallas Cowboys as of this writing, Zach Martin has played ten seasons in the NFL after being drafted 19^th overall by Dallas out of Notre Dame.

At 6’ 9”, Ed “Too Tall” Jones, had one of the coolest and appropriate nicknames in not just football, but in all of sports.

Playing his college ball at Florida A&M (well before they were an FBS school), Nate Newton did not receive a lot of attention from the NFL, and he had to settle for signing with the Washington Redskins as a Free Agent.  He didn't make the team, but he found a home in the USFL with the Tampa Bay Bandits.  In the upstart league, Newton shined, and following the folding of the league, he was named to the all-time USFL Team.

“Prime Time” Deion Sanders had already proven himself as a superstar in Pro Football, as he was already a four-time Pro Bowl and three-time First Team All-Pro.  The year before he signed with Dallas, he was a San Francisco 49er for one year, and he helped them win the Super Bowl and won the Defensive Player of the Year.
