34 linebackers were taken in the 2008 NFL Draft, but Wesley Woodyard had a longer NFL career than all of them as an undrafted free agent to the Denver Broncos. Woodyard split his 12-year career between Denver and Tennessee, signing with the Titans ahead of the 2014 campaign and he posted two 100+ tackle seasons across his six seasons there. 

Woodyard was a sure tackler and though he never made a Pro Bowl, he led his team in tackles four times in his career. Despite his lengthy career, Woodyard only played in 11 playoff games with just three starts.
