Drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 2003, Nnamdi Asoumgha broke out in 2007 with an eight-Interception year, and in the three years after, he was one of the best shutdown Cornerbacks in the National Football League, earning First Team All-Pros in 2008 and 2010.  Following 2010, Asomugha was a highly recruited Free Agent and he joined the Phiadelphia Eagles, who thought he was the signing to get them to the promised land.  He wasn't, as his play dramatically fell off, and he was out of the game three years later, but when your play at Cornerback was compared to Darrelle Revis you were something special.

London Fletcher was a tackling machine that had accumulated over 2,000 Tackles in the National Football League. This is where Fletcher’s best chance for the Hall lies as he was only a four-time Pro Bowl selection, a number that right or wrong does matter. Fletcher, however, does hold a resume with all those tackles, longevity, a Super Bowl Ring with the Rams, and a reputation as a locker room leader and off-field good guy.

One of the best Place Kickers of his day, David Akers, had to wait for a little to prove his worth in the NFL.  Akers was undrafted out of Louisville in 1997, and after trying out for the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers, he was signed by the Washington Redskins but played only one game and missed both Field Goals (though they were 48 yards plus).

Undrafted in 1999 out of North Texas, Brian Waters defied the odds to become a successful Offensive Guard in the National Football League, most notably with the Kansas City Chiefs where he was named to five Pro Bowls (plus one more with New England) and made two First Team All Pros. The 2009 Walter Payton Man of the Year winner is historically the only AFC Offensive Lineman to have won an Offensive Player of the Week Award.
