Denver Broncos – Randy Gradishar, LB

In the first round of the 1974 draft, the Broncos selected Gradishar. He played for the team for 10 seasons and made seven Pro Bowls in that span. In 1977 and ’78, he was a First-Team All-Pro selection. Stats are limited, but no question that he is the most accomplished Bronco without a bust in the hall.

Detroit Lions – Lomas Brown, OT

In 1985, the Lions selected Brown with the No. 6 overall pick in the first round. He played for 18 seasons and five different teams, but spent 11 in the Motor City. He played in a total of 276 games in the NFL, ranking him in the top 30 all time in league history. He made seven Pro Bowls and was a First-Team All-Pro selection in 1995.

Green Bay Packers – LeRoy Butler, S

Butler played for 12 seasons with Green Bay until he retired in 2001. He made four Pro Bowls and was named a First-Team All-Pro selection four times as well. He had 38 career interceptions while also registering 20.5 sacks, 13 forced fumbles and over 900 career tackles.
