On the surface, 104 Wins and 1,818 Strikeouts should gain Bobby Witt a much higher rank. He had a 17-10 1990 season that would see him finish second in Strikeouts in the American League so certainly his positioning on the greatest Texas Rangers of all-time should be higher right?
Originally from Liberia, Tamba Hali was the 20th overall pick from Penn State in the 2006 Draft. Hali played Defensive End for the first three years of his pro career (all of which were with the Kansas City Chiefs) but he found greater success when he was moved to Right Outside Linebacker for the 2009 Season. From 2011 to 2015 Hali would be chosen for the Pro Bowl and he would twice be named a Second Team All Pro. It was an incredible transformation, especially considering this occurred at the professional level and he would sack opposing Quarterbacks 89.5 times.
Not too many Punters get drafted but Shane Lechler was in the 5th Round out of Texas A&M in 2000 by the Oakland Raiders who would see quickly that it was an excellent choice. Lechler would play for the Raiders for 13 seasons and in six of those years he was named a First Team All Pro with seven seasons being deemed Pro Bowl worthy. Oakland was often struggling during Lechler’s tenure in the Bay Area so they saw Lechler punt more than they would have wanted but they knew that he did his job exceptionally well. Five times in Oakland he would lead the National Football League in Yards per Punt and he was second another five times. Lechler would sign with the Houston Texans and play there for five seasons before he retired.
