2. Ty Law, CB

Ty Law built a Hall of Fame career for himself as a member of the New England Patriots. Even though he played four seasons with the Jets and Chiefs, Law became an all-time NFL great in New England and in his career, he picked off 53 passes in the regular season.

He added another six interceptions in postseason play where he helped the Patriots to two Super Bowl victories.

The Denver Broncos had hired former Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels in the 2009 season and ended up needing some reinforcements at the cornerback position, and they called on old Ty Law.

In seven games with the Broncos, Law of course had an interception, but he couldn’t help prevent the Broncos’ collapse from a 6-0 start that season as the team missed the playoffs.
