43. Don Colo

After three years in the NFL, Don Colo found a steady home in Cleveland, where he was a silent but lethal contributor to Paul Brown and his defensive corps.

Colo was instrumental in Cleveland's 1954 and 1955 NFL Championships, with the Defensive Tackle using his size and speed to collect three Pro Bowls and three Second Team All-Pros.  Colo might be forgotten by some, but not by us, and not by the Browns, who announced him as one of their Legends in 2015.
