In need of essentially no time getting acclimated to the NFL’s rigors and physicality, Dwight Freeney’s adjustments to the pros, similar to his pass rushes, offered one common variable: speed. A force to be reckoned with in Year Two, the Hall of Fame-bound pass rusher explodes out of his three-point stance, pressuring the New Orleans Saints’ quarterback from the edge before capturing a ricocheted ball for a 19-yard scoop-and-score. Revered for his unguardable skillset on the defensive edge, Freeney helped propel Indianapolis to a flawless 4-0 record on September 28, 2003, recording one fumble recovery and a defensive touchdown during the 55-21 win on Sunday Night Football.
