Paul Posluszny

Paul Posluszny was an NFL linebacker, who was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2013. Prior to his time in the NFL, Posluszny was a star linebacker at Penn State University, leading the team in tackles as their captain and winning various awards such as multiple All-Americans, All-Big 10, the Dick Butkus award, and the Chuck Bednarik award. After four seasons with the Nittany Lions, Posluszny graduated and entered the 2007 NFL Draft. Considered to be the top linebacker in the draft, he was taken in the second round by the Buffalo Bills, earning the starting job in the preseason. In week one, Posluszny broke his arm, ending his season, but he returned in 2008 with 129 tackles, a sack, and an interception. In week one of the 2009 season, he broke his arm again, missing five weeks, but dominated the last 11 games, forcing six turnovers, tying the league lead. During the 2011 offseason, Posluszny signed a six year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, instantly becoming a team leader and a force on the defense. In 2013, Posluszny earned his first trip to the Pro-Bowl.
