1 Ray Lewis
Raymond Anthony Lewis Jr. is a former American football middle linebacker who played his entire 17-year career for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. Have Barry Sanders vs Ray Lewis. I'm 100 percent sure that Barry will have a broken collarbone after the game.

3 Charles Woodson
Charles Woodson is a former American football cornerback and free safety. He played college football for Michigan, where he led the Wolverines to a national championship in 1997. Woodson, a "two-way player" who played both offense and defense, won the Heisman Trophy in the same year, becoming the second, behind Leon Hart of Notre Dame to win the award. This guy was scary good! ( I'm a Pats fan)
Played on green bay packers.
4 J.J. Watt
Justin James "J. J." Watt is an American football defensive end for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Texans with the 11th pick in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and played college football at Wisconsin. ...read more. JJ Watt is an amazing player to watch. He impacts just about every play and rarely comes off the field during defensive plays. He can play offensively and score. He scores playing defensively. If you ever get the chance, attend a Texans game and note the response he can generate from the stadium crowd. It is truly amazing! He is just fun to watch on top of all his other talents.
