Olindo Mare
Olindo Mare, who played in the NFL from 1997 to 2012, was one of the most dependable placekickers of his era.
Known for his accuracy and consistency, Mare played the bulk of his career with the Miami Dolphins (1997-2006), followed by stints with the New Orleans Saints (2007), Seattle Seahawks (2008-2010), Carolina Panthers (2011) and Chicago Bears (2012).
Over the span of his career, he made 81.1% of his field goal attempts and nearly 99% of extra point attempts. In 1999, he was selected to the Pro Bowl and named 1st Team All-Pro after successfully converting 39 of 46 field goal attempts for the Dolphins.
Eugene Robinson
Eugene Robinson was originally signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 1985. Robinson played for the Seahawks for 11 seasons, making his mark as a defensive stalwart for the team. After his time in Seattle, he moved on to the Packers and then to the Falcons before concluding his career with the Panthers.
Robinson was a three-time Pro Bowl selection (1992, 1993, 1998) and earned Second-Team All-Pro honors in 1993. Over his career, he accumulated 57 interceptions and 1,413 tackles and is considered one of the better safeties of his generation.
He also had the experience of playing in three Super Bowls with three different teams, albeit with mixed success. Robinson won a Super Bowl ring with the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXI against the New England Patriots. However, he also experienced the agony of defeat in Super Bowl XXXIII (Falcons) and in Super Bowl XXXVIII (Panthers).

Deon Grant
Deon Grant played as a safety for 11 seasons in the NFL. He played college football at Tennessee, and was selected in the 2nd round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers.
During his career, Grant played for several teams – including the Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, and New York Giants – and was a key contributor for each.
Perhaps the pinnacle of Grant’s professional career came with the New York Giants, where he won a Super Bowl championship in 2011 (Super Bowl XLVI). In that 2011 season, he contributed with 64 combined tackles, a sack, and three interceptions.
Ricky Proehl
Ricky Proehl was selected by the Phoenix Cardinals in the third round, 58th overall, in the 1990 NFL Draft. During his lengthy 17-year career, he played for several teams, including the Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams, Carolina Panthers, and Indianapolis Colts.
Proehl’s most productive seasons came with the Rams, where he was part of the “Greatest Show on Turf” and won Super Bowl XXXIV. He also played a crucial role in the Panthers’ run to Super Bowl XXXVIII. Known for his reliable hands and precise route-running, Proehl was often a go-to target in clutch situations.
By the time he retired, he had accumulated 669 receptions for 8,878 yards and 54 touchdowns. His consistent performance and leadership on and off the field made him a respected figure in the league.
