In his 16 seasons in the NFL, cornerback Champ Bailey made 52 total interceptions, the most among cornerbacks during his career. He currently holds the record for most passes defended (203), and was the youngest player in the Super Bowl era to record a three-interception game (21 years, 117 days old). Bailey is one of eleven defensive backs enshrined as a first-ballot Hall of Fame, and was named to the NFL All-Decade Team of the 2000s.

As the first tight end to ever be enshrined as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, Gonzalez's production was unprecedented for a tight end. Gonzalez was the first tight end in NFL history with a 100-reception season (2004). His production in the league is higher than the 13 other tight-ends drafted in the same class (1997) combined.

Gonzalez: 1,325 receptions, 15,127 yards, 111 TD.
Others: 1,194 receptions ,12,146 yards, 103 TD.

Gonzalez's 14 Pro Bowl selections are the highest of all time, tied with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Bruce Matthews, and Merlin Olsen. To this day, Gonzalez, a member of the NFL All-Decade Team of the 2000s, still ranks first in major receiving categories among tight ends.

Ty Law led the NFL in interceptions twice in his career: in 1998 with 9 interceptions, and in 2005, when he had 10 (tying with Deltha O'Neal). Law won three Super Bowls with the New England Patriots (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX). Take a look at his phenomenal Super Bowl XXXVI performance, including a 47-yard pick six. Law is tied with Raymond Clayborn for the most interceptions in Patriots history (36). His outstanding play at cornerback earned him a spot on the NFL All-Decade Team of the 2000s.

In his 16 seasons in the NFL, center Kevin Mawae earned eight Pro Bowl bids while blocking for 1,000-yard rushers in 13 of those 16 seasons.

Mawae's dominance at center led to him being named to the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 2000s.

During his 12-season career, free safety Ed Reed was a nine-time Pro Bowler who still holds the most interception return yards in NFL history (1,590) and is tied for the most postseason interceptions in NFL history (9).

Gil Brandt was the Vice President of Player Personnel for the Dallas Cowboys from the birth of the franchise in 1960 until 1989, when Jerry Jones bought the team.

With Brandt's innovation, the Cowboys drafted nine future Pro Football Hall of Famers. The Cowboys subsequently had 20 consecutive winning seasons during this time (1966-1985).
