Junior Seau was drafted with the fifth overall pick in the 1990 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. He spent 20 years in the league, making it to the Super Bowl twice, but ultimately was not able to end his career with a ring.

Seau spent most of his career with the Chargers, 13 seasons to be exact. He started just about every game he played in in his career, not starting just one game with the Chargers. During his time in San Diego, Seau recorded 842 total tackles and 47 sacks. He led the league in 1994 with 124 total tackles which was a career his for him. He also had 11 forced fumbles, 16 fumble recoveries, and 15 interceptions in his time with the Chargers.

After 13 seasons with the Chargers, Seau took his talents across the country to Miami where he played three seasons before going to division rival New England where he spent the last four years of his career. He was a 12-time Pro Bowl selection, six-time First-Team All-Pro selection, and three-time Second-Team All-Pro selection. Seau was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2015.
