It's not often that you see a college football quarterback move to linebacker and not only start, but go on to a professional career.
But that happened to Justin Tuggle, the son of former NFL star Jessie Tuggle, when he played at Kansas State University. He was a backup quarterback with little chance of getting significant playing time, so Justin Tuggle approached linebackers coach Blake Seiler about moving to linebacker prior to his senior year.
Remarkably, he made a quick transformation to defense, won a starting position and helped the Jayhawks win a Big 12 championship.
