In 10 years in Tampa, he rushed for 5,957 yards, the most in team history, and 58 touchdowns, No. 2 on the Bucs' all-time list. In 1984, Wilder ran for 1,544 yards and 13 touchdowns, earning a trip to his first Pro Bowl.2. LB Jack Ham, Pittsburgh

He played 12 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers after the team selected him No. 34 overall in the 1971 NFL Draft and in those 12 seasons, he won three Super Bowl rings, was an eight-time Pro Bowler and was selected as a first-team All-Pro six times. In 1988, Ham became the first and only 34th pick to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Toomer played his entire 13-year career in New York after the Giants selected him 34th overall in the 1996 draft. He accumulated 9,497 receiving yards in his career, almost twice as many as he would have needed for the Giants' all-time lead. He is also the team's all-time leader in receptions (668) and receiving touchdowns (54). In 2007, Toomer helped the Giants to victory in Super Bowl XLII.

4. S Tim McDonald, Cardinals
McDonald was selected with the 34th pick of the 1987 NFL Draft by the Cardinals, and went on to start 187 games, the most of any player in NFL history drafted at No. 34. In 13 seasons with the Cardinals and 49ers, McDonald was named to the Pro Bowl six times. In 1994, he was a member of the 49ers' Super Bowl championship team. McDonald is currently the defensive backs coach for the Bills.

5. Chris Snee, Giants
Snee was drafted No. 34 overall by the Giants in 2004 and went on to start 141 games in New York. He was named to the Pro Bowl four times and was a first-team All-Pro once, in 2008. That season, he led the way for two 1,000-yard rushers – Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward. Snee was a starter for the Giants' Super Bowl victories in 2007 and 2011.
