Sexual misconduct convictions aside, Darren Sharper is considered one of the greatest safeties in NFL history.

Initially beginning his career with the Green Bay Packers, he immediately made an impact as a rookie, helping the team reach Super Bowl XXXII. But they would be upset by the Denver Broncos. Overall, he lasted eight seasons in green and gold before being ditched in 2005 for declining a pay cut.
