Vets on the move? Top 10 players traded during the NFL draft

5. Aeneas Williams, DB, St. Louis Rams (2001)

Though Williams may be most remembered for his time in the desert with the Phoenix and Arizona Cardinals, he also had a great run with the Rams following a draft day trade in 2001. The Rams acquired the Hall of Fame defensive back for second and fourth-round picks.

Williams continued to prove why he was one of the best defenders of his generation during his time in St. Louis. He recorded nine interceptions and three interception returns for touchdowns over four seasons with the Rams and he earned 2003 Pro Bowl honors as well as first-team All-Pro honors in 2001.
