    Name these   11  WRs/TEs

  • Bonus Question:

    Who was the last player who was designated officially as a Fullback to make the  HOF? 

  • We should know these (until you go to list them):

    Ozzie of course our #1.  Then Warfield,  Swann, Ward, Stallworth the best Steeler, Tommy McDonald, the rest must go back a bit or are the cup of joe guys.

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

    Highlighted are correct.   Ward is not in HOF.

    Name these   11  WRs/TEs

    Answers, by team:

    Ravens:    Shannon Sharpe

    Bengals:  Charlie Joiner,  Terrell Owens  (I don't even remember him playing for the Bengals, but he did for a year)

    Steelers:  John Stallworth,  Lynn Swann

    Browns:    Dante Lavelli,  Mac Speedie, Tommy McDonald,  Paul Warfield,  Ozzie Newsome

    Note:  the Browns have as many as the other 3 teams combined.

    Bold means that the team was the primary team that the player played for in his career.   Non-bold means these players just had a "cup of coffee" with that team.  (usually only 1-2-3 years at most)

  • I think Milt Plum may be in there, in fact I'm sure he threw WAY more TDs for the Browns than Phipps! I can't believe Phipps would be top 10. Could Couch sneek in our top 10?

    Mild success and any kind of longevity (in our sense of longevity) would do it.  Yeah why not Couch- I forgot about him.

    Plum too. 

  • Otto, Sipe, Ryan, Kosar, Nelson, Couch, and Plum.

    Not sure on the others. Mayfield is probably close to being there. 

    I'll guess Weedon & Phipps in the top 10.

    Being that after the top 4 who had some kind of longevity and after the 1980s when the BROWNS went into the rent-a-quarterback stategy just about anyone could be close to the top 10 including Mayfield.

    From 8-15 is anyone's guess.

    I'm hoping Baker can play well for years to come. First, we need to have a season.

    Check on all of those in the first sentence....except Phipps.

    But neither Holcomb or Hoyer make it.
