that would be Robert Jackson days to kick off
The Countdown to the 2020 NFL season is upon us. With 68 days remaining until the Browns season opener, we continue the countdown by celebrating the best Cleveland Browns player to ever wear number 68: Robert Jackson.
Robert Jackson was not selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 1975 NFL draft. Jackson was not selected by any NFL team during the 17-round draft. Luckily for the Browns, someone in the scouting department liked his size, athleticism, and versatility enough to offer Jackson a chance to compete at training camp as an undrafted free agent.
Jackson played his college career at Duke University. When Jackson arrived at Duke, he did so as a quarterback. By the time his junior season came around, Jackson had undergone multiple position changes before landing at offensive tackle.
Listed at 6-foot-2 and 255lbs., the Browns had no intention of bringing Jackson in to compete to be an offensive tackle. If Jackson were going to make the Browns roster in 1975, he was going to have to do so at guard.
Jackson arrived at training camp at the Kent State campus in Northern Ohio with only one thing in mind; work. Jackson kept his head down and he worked. The roster cuts came and went, and when the dust settled Jackson had made the roster.

Here’s a number 4.
That’s how many touchdowns Nick Chubb is going to score in one game this year.
Which would put him in the same category as this guy. . .

* why would you put a picture of a ex steeler here ?
* Correction, He never was really was an ex Steeler, Ed O'Neill was cut in training camp. He was up against Joe Green and L.C. Greenwood for a spot on the team. I don't think you can't include everbody who is cut in camp .... as an ex Steeler ???
(from OU) ... He transferred to Youngstown State University, where he lettered as a defensive lineman from 1967 to 1968. As an undergraduate, he pledged Delta Sigma Phi and was initiated into the Delta Sigma chapter there. While at Youngstown State, he played in a game against Roger Staubach, who was playing for the Pensacola Naval Station. * O'Neill said that his team was penalized 15 yards when he hit Staubach out of bounds.
* That's true ... and funny ! I was a Freshman at YSU in 1968 and a Sophmore in 1969. Ed had some * notoriety there as a former UHS (Ursline HS, just off the YSU campus -and- on the YSU school and on the team.
* (noun).... being famous or well known for some bad quality .... Oh yes that was Ed.
Professional football career. ..... * 1969 signed as an UFA and cut in training camp.
* Also true. * O'Neill was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969 under rookie head coach Chuck Noll but was cut in training camp, having to compete with fellow rookie defensive lineman Joe Greene and L. C. Greenwood for a roster spot.
Both became key members of the Steel Curtain defense during the Steelers success in the 1970s.
Later, while on Married... with Children, O'Neill played a former high school football star who had failed to make it big and constantly reminisced about his "glory days" at Polk High ("I once scored four touchdowns in a single game").
As part of this theme, former Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw also made two guest appearances on the show. O'Neill worked as a substitute social studies teacher at his alma mater Ursuline High School before becoming an actor.
