Kevin Mack: Great 80s RB, had a 1000 yard rushing season with Byner in his rookie season of 1985, got busted for cocaine during the 1989 season.
Earnest Byner: Great all-around RB in the same era as Mack, I always remember him being dirty with his jersey untucked. Sadly remembered mostly for his fumble in the '87 AFC Championship Game.
Bernie Kosar: When Cleveland was a punchline, Kosar orchestrated a way to get to Cleveland. Career derailed due to injuries.
Michael Dean Perry: Very athletic DT who was a far superior player to his more famous brother.
Hanford Dixon: One of the best CBs of the 80s, came up with "Dawg Pound".
Frank Minnifield: Probably a notch below Dixon in talent, but still a great corner.
Webster Slaughter: The most dynamic WR of the Kosar era, I remember him painting his shoes orange during the '89 season.
Eric Metcalf: Dynamic playmaker who was a highlight machine. Never will forget his two punt return TDs to beat the Steelers.
Mike Johnson: Quietly one of the best LBs the Browns have ever had.
Leroy Hoard: Had a really good run in the playoff season of 1994. Made a ton of big plays that season.
Tommy Vardell: Tried hard, but was pretty much a bust.
Eric Turner: Helluva safety, Rest in Peace.
Tom Cousineau: Ohio State LB who was an absolute bust for the Browns.
The guys highlighted made up the core of players who should have gone to the Super Bowl at least once in the mid to late 80s.
The others came later in the 90s.
