Why those four?

Shields rose from third-round pick to be selected to 12 consecutive Pro Bowls. He's also a member of the NFL's 2000s all-decade team. ...

Craig was a member of three Super Bowl-winning teams with the San Francisco 49ers. He is the first player in NFL history to have 1,000-plus yards rushing and receiving in the same season, doing so in 1985. ...

Smith -- the No. 2 overall pick in the 1988 NFL Draft -- played for 13 years in the NFL. He helped the Denver Broncos win back-to-back Super Bowls in the 1997 and 1998 seasons. ...

Fryar was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1984 NFL Draft, and a year later helped the New England Patriots reach their first Super Bowl. In a long, 17-year NFL career, Fryar posted five 1,000-yard receiving seasons and was a five-time Pro Bowl pick.
