Drafted 13th Overall from the University of Texas in 1989, Eric Metcalf would become one of the most versatile offensive weapons in Browns' history.

Listed as a Running Back, rushed for only 2,229 Yards in is six years in Cleveland, but he was also a threat in the air, catching 297 passes for 2,732 Yards over the same timeframe.  Metcalf truly shined in the return game, and he would lead the NFL in Kick Return Yards in 1990 and was a Pro Bowl Selection in 1993 and 1994.  A First Team All-Pro in 1993, Metcalf led the league in All-Purpose Yards (1,932).  He left Cleveland for Atlanta after the 1994 Season.

As a Brown, Metcalf had 31 Touchdowns with 9,108 All-Purpose Yards.  Cleveland would also induct Metcalf as a Legend in 2008.

47. Warren Lahr

After his college career ended, Warren Lahr signed with the Cleveland Browns as a backup Quarterback in 1948.  Injuries kept him from playing, but he was ready to suit up in 1949, where he would become a Safety and help the Browns win the last AAFC Title of the league's existence.

Lahr, who was almost cut at one point, would become a top defender for Paul Brown's squad, and he became a certifiable ball hawk who nabbed 44 Interceptions over his 11-year career, all with Cleveland.  He was an essential part of the Browns NFL Championships in 1950, 1954 and 1955, and went to the Pro Bowl in 1953.  Cleveland named Lahr as an honored Legend in 2008.

From small Adams State, Don Cockroft played all thirteen of his seasons (1968-80) with the Cleveland Browns.

Cockroft was Cleveland's Place Kicker and Punter for his first nine seasons and was just a Kicker in his last four.  Cockroft never went to the Pro Bowl, but three times he led the NFL in Field Goal Percentage and once led the league in Punting Yards.  With 1,080 Points, Cockroft is third all-time in franchise history, and was rewarded by the Browns as one of their Legends in 2007.

44. 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.
