Had their careers intertwined, this could very well have been an all-star team. But they didn't and it isn't.

What do these great players have in common?

Now, if you have seen the article - that's cheating. You'll have to face yourself in the mirror but you won't be looking at a man, will you?

QB - Kurt Warner
RB - Joe Perry
RB - Priest Holmes
WR - Drew Pearson
WR - Wes Welker
TE - Antonio Gates
OT - Jason Peters
G - Larry Little
C - Jim Langer
G - Brian Waters

LB - James Harrison
LB - London Fletcher

It appears that they were all undrafted.

Bingo! 36 minutes... pretty good, Brad.
It is hard to believe so many of that talent level "missed" the draft.

Love this list, OCC. Perfect illustration how the scouting thing is mostly nonsense. And how the *great* player is defined in retrospect. And, dare I say, the oxymoron of human knowledge.

Nice work. Not hard to do. But poignant.
