The seven-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro defined his career as "improbable" after earning a scholarship to Texas Southern University despite playing only one year of football. Strahan amassed 141.5 sacks, good for fifth all time, over 15 seasons in the NFL after being selected by the Giants in the second round of the 1993 Draft.
