30. Alterraun Verner CB (2006-09)

Verner came to UCLA after dominating the sports landscape on both the gridiron and track as a  senior at Lakewood High School. During his time at UCLA, Verner racked up 279 tackles, 12 TFL and 13 interceptions. Perhaps his most memorable was an 76-yd return against the then 12th ranked Cal Bears in 2007 to ice the game.

Verner parlayed his impressive career in Westwood into a fifth round selection by the Tennessee Titans where he started 10 games as a rookie. In 2014 he signed a 4 year, 26.5 million dollar contract to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
