Racking my brain, Otto Graham has to be on the list. If we are counting all players, not just rb’s

Check. In fact he is fifth overall

How about a WR? Dub Jones

Jones is the correct answer.   But he was, I think one of those hybrid  HB/WR types.  like Bobby Mitchell.

Answers  Top Ten Browns in Rushing TDs:

1. Jim Brown 106

2. Leroy Kelley  74

3. Mike Pruitt  47

4. Kevin Mack 46

5. Otto Graham  44

6. Marion Motley  31

7. Ernest Byner  27

8. Greg Pruitt 25

9. Isaiah Crowell 21

9. Dub Jones  21

13.  Nick Chubb  16 so far.   I think it possible that he gets up to near Motley before season's end. (assuming a full season)

He's also the father of Colts QB Bert Jones. 

And he holds the all-time Browns record with six touchdowns in one game.

Here is today's question.....sort of the finale of the "triple set"

Name the Top Ten in Browns history in TD receptions.

[Dutch Oven]

Ozzie Newsome

 Paul Warfield

 Webster Slaughter

 Dante Lavelli

 Gary Collins

Dave Logan

Mac Speedie

Braylon Edwards

Reggie Langhorne

Kevin Johnson

[mjp28]

Gary Collins one of my old favorites, Paul Warfield still ticked the browns traded him, Ozzie, Slaughter, Braylon.

And the oldies Lavelli, Speedie the other three are all in a heap of modern and older players.

The names you mention are correct.  For the other 3....think "talking like a Pirate"  and Pop Stars.

Is it just me or what,  as in my recollection I thought  Webster was a much better receiver than either Braylon or Jackson

Dave Logan is  11th with 24.

Here is today's  Trivia Question:    Pro-Football Reference has developed a metric called the Career Average, which is supposed to tell us how productive a player has been in a career or a season.   While it is obviously not conclusive of a player's "value"...it is something....and perhaps as good or better than any other metric that has been developed.  (If you have something else applicable, by all means, let us know).  Also note...this metric does not really measure much if any statistical measurement prior to 1960 

Today's question, simply:

Name the Top Ten All Time most productive players in their careers per this system.  (since 1960)
