26. David Ball, DE (2000-2003)

Ball often slips through the cracks of great UCLA Bruins but really had some stellar play during his collegiate career. As a senior Ball racked up 16.5 sacks which led the nation and helped him set the UCLA record for sacks at 30.5. In that same year he was selected as a unanimous All-American and won the Pop Warner which goes to a player who has shown excellence in athletics, academics and humanitarianism.

Ball was selected in the fifth round of the 2004 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers but had his greatest success with the Tennessee Titans from 2008-2011.
