Today is Johnny Brewer amount of days left until the Browns season kicks off. Brewer was an interesting player, the 1960 fourth round pick out of Ole Miss was a TE for the first half of his career, then converted to LB for the second half. He caught 89 career balls for six touchdowns, and had three interceptions and a touchdown returned as a linebacker. He became an insurance agent during his football career, and at the end of it requested to be traded closer to home, so the Browns traded him to the almost new New Orleans Saints for a second round pick, that was used to draft Joe "Turkey" Jones.

There are a lot of older players like Johnny Brewer #83 many did not have HUGE signing bonuses and didn't have enough to get by and needed other offseason jobs ..... like the yet older "taxi squad" guys. Many didn't have legendary names either like another old #83, Chip Glass what a name for an old Cleveland BROWNS player in our BROWNS legacy. No old snazzy pictures either.

︎ But there was a really famous but still quite humble BROWNS HOF player coming up next at #82 that I'm sure Dutch will agree.
We're sure you will too on tomorrow .

Oh yes the Cleveland BROWNS own #82 HOF Ozzie Newsome. Hitting pay "dirt" at the Ol' Municipal Stadium. Many of old memories there.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
And coming up next at #81 this Monday during the first ever Monday Night Football game in 1970. The 1969 Super Bowl III winner New York Jets and Joe Namath come into Cleveland.
Cleveland Browns defensive ends Jack Gregory (81) and Ron Snidow (88) blast through the New York Jets protection to pressure quarterback Joe Namath during a Monday Night Football game in 1970.AP.
Gregory was a Pro Bowler in 1969 and started every game from 1969-71. But his biggest accomplishment is his place in the Browns record book. Although sacks weren’t an official NFL stat until 1982, Gregory’s 14 sacks in 1970 are recognized by the Browns as the second-most in a single season, behind Bill Glass’ 14.5 in 1965. (Reggie Camp also had 14 sacks, in 1984).

Holy poop on a stick, this photo is from the Browns/Saints game in 1984. It was the first game under Shottenheimer, and my first Browns game I saw in person. I would have been 8.
