All of these except Bernie are in the Hall of Fame, so I would not say that they were underrated.

Not underrated but I would say if you ask somebody thats not a browns fan or was born after the 80's they probably wouldn't no who some of these guy are. I know I wouldn't if it wasn't for fellow Browns fans. Other than Jim Brown, Kosar, maybe Newsome since he's a GM you dont hear much about the other guys unless your a Browns fan. Not everybody was alive 50 years ago to watch all these guys so it would be wise to inform other teams fans of our historic past.

I would hope that you could rest assured that the audience you have on The Browns Board would know who the Hall of Famers are that played for the Browns, and that their names would be familiar to all here. If not, they all need to bone up on the team whom they are commenting upon. I didn't see all those guys when I was growing up either...well, actually, I did see them all except Willis, Lavelli, and Graham.. You get my point.

Thats not the point, the OP said fans of other teams. Im sure fans of the Browns are aware of all of them but fans of other teams especially younger fans probably aren't as aware of some of them

Wow nobody mentioned Eric Metcalf! He was the best player the Browns had in the early nineties! Heres a link to some youtube highlights..

pepper johnson, vinny testaburger, micheal jackson, jamir miller

[Gips]

Eric turner and clay mathews stand out to me but the likes of eddie johnson the priutts, doug dieken, sherk, brennon, mack, minniefield ,dixon and kosar only name a few great players that made the frame of the unit they entered the field of play with..guys that were not so well known but were incredibly solid teammates..

Dixon and Minniefield, Mike Johnson, Greg and Mike Pruitt, Kevin Mack, Eric Metcalf, Tom Deleone, Doug Dieken, Rob Burnett and Eric Turner to name a few. Clay Mathews, too.

Riffer beat me to it. Frank Minnifield is the best corner that i've ever seen play the game (for any team).

to the best of my recollection Minni got burned more than Hanford did, and if you asked Top Dawg personally i bet he'd tell you the same.

but so would Frank. lol

those two pioneered the shut-down/complete corner in the NFL.

BEST. TANDEM. EVER.
