Los Angeles Rams: WR Torry Holt

Wide receiver Isaac Bruce will be enshrined in Canton this year. But his running mate from 1999-2007 with the then-St. Louis Rams was Torry Holt, a rookie on the Super Bowl XXXIV championship team. Including a final season in Jacksonville in ’09, the seven-time Pro Bowler totaled an impressive 920 receptions for 13,382 and 74 scores.

Miami Dolphins: LB Zach Thomas

He was a fifth-round pick in 1996 from Texas Tech University and a relentless tackler. Linebacker Zach Thomas wound up playing 12 seasons with the Dolphins before ending his career in Dallas for one year. The seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro totaled 100-plus tackles 10 times with Miami and totaled 25 career takeaways.
