My number one is Bubba Baker. A second round pick that flat out got after QBs from the day he stepped onto the Silverdome carpet.
Big play Clay.

I remember James Hall being a pretty cool story, especially going to UofM. I always appreciated his effort and play.
Good topic idea BTW! I’ll try and come up with more.

Jarad De’Vries had a pretty good career as more of a journeyman.
Jeff Hartings was a second rounder that worked out rather well…

Even better – he had 11.5 in 2004.
In 2010 (with the Rams) he posted 10.5.

Is this Lions only or league?
Heres a couple that made a name for themselves, but not necessarily on the football field.
Pat Summerall…yes the announcer
Jack Kemp…the politician
Fred Biletnikoff…yeah, he did pretty well for himself on the field.

Mainly Lions, but there arent that many unless you go back a ways, so really League wide at this point.

Yeah, I couldn’t believe the Ravens let him go. He was starting to show. Dumber than SD getting rid of Brees.
