Lofa Tatupu made the transition from college to the NFL better than most as the second-round pick out of USC started all 16 games as a rookie for the NFC Champion Seahawks in 2005. He began his NFL career with three straight seasons starting every game, recording at least 100 tackles and earning Pro Bowl honors. He was named an AP All-Pro for the first time in his career in 2007 after registering career highs in interceptions with four and forced fumbles with three. Tatupu played all six seasons in Seattle, starting 84 games and finished his career with 552 tackles, 10 interceptions, 41 passes defensed and seven forced fumbles.
