Joe Haden
Joe Haden was selected as the 7th overall pick in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. After 7 seasons in Cleveland, Haden signed with the Steelers where he played an additional 5 years.
Haden’s ability to cover and make plays on the ball quickly made him a standout player in the league. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl three times (2013, 2014, 2019) and was named Second-Team All-Pro in 2013.
Haden recorded 29 interceptions, 615 tackles, and 7 forced fumbles in his career. His knack for disrupting opposing passing games and his leadership on and off the field made him one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL during his playing years.

Mike Tomczak

After going undrafted in the 1985 NFL Draft, Tomczak signed with the Bears as a free agent. He spent six seasons in Chicago, primarily as a backup quarterback but saw significant playing time due to injuries to starter Jim McMahon. He was a member of the famed 1985 Bears team that won Super Bowl XX.
After his time with the Bears, Tomczak had stints with the Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns, and finally the Pittsburgh Steelers. His most significant playing time came with the Steelers, where he started multiple games in place of injured starters and helped the team reach the playoffs on several occasions.
