Seattle Seahawks – Shaun Alexander, RB

The running back position will eventually be reconfigured in terms of what meets the requirements for a Hall of Fame career, and when it does, Alexander will eventually be considered for the honor.

Alexander played nine years in the NFL including eight with Seattle. He had nearly 10,000 career rushing yards and 100 touchdowns. Alexander was a three-time Pro Bowler who led the league in rushing in 2005 with 1,880 yards on the ground, en route to a league MVP First-Team All-Pro selection.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers – John Lynch, S

Lynch had a 15-year career after spending his first 11 with the Bucs and final four with the Broncos. Lynch played in 236 games in that span which included nine Pro Bowl appearances and two First-Team All-Pro selections.

Lynch was an unquestioned field general, and one of the toughest tacklers in league history, notching more than 1,000 career tackles and won the Super Bowl in the 2002 season.

Tennessee Titans – Steve McNair, QB

McNair was foundational in the franchise’s move to Tennessee, and he played a total of 11 years with the Titans before finishing his career with the Ravens.

In his 13-year career, McNair was a three-time Pro Bowler with over 30,000 passing yards and 174 touchdowns. He added 3,600 yards and 37 touchdowns rushing as well.

Washington – Joe Theismann, QB

Theismann played for 12 seasons with Washington where he made two Pro Bowls and one First-Team All-Pro selection. The former Notre Dame star also was named the 1983 NFL MVP. His career was famously shortened by a devastating leg break suffered on national television during a Monday Night Football game, but he still finished his with more than 25,000 passing yards and 160 touchdowns.
