An exceptionally popular player during his days in Cleveland (the local McDonalds franchises even had a sandwich named after him for a time), Michael Dean Perry was a defensive beast who, while with the Browns, was one of the leaders of a strong defense.  MDP would go to five Pro Bowls as a Brown (his sixth coming with Denver), and the big man was a First Team All-Pro and Second Team All-Pro twice.  He was also named the AFC Defensive Player of the Year in 1989.

In 2001, Perry was part of the first group of four who was named a Legend by the team.

Bob Gain was drafted 5^th Overall in 1951 by the Green Bay Packers, but he elected to play in Canada with the Ottawa Rough Riders instead.  

The following year the former Outland Trophy winner's NFL rights were in the hands of the Cleveland Browns, and the two-way star was happy to return to his home state of Ohio.  Gain was at his best when he played Defensive Tackle, and his work was a large part of the Browns' Championship wins in 1954, 1955, and later in 1964.  From 1957 to 1962, he would be chosen for five Pro Bowls.

Gain would be honored by the Browns when they named him one of their Legends.

From Finland, Esa Lindell was a Third Round pick in 2012, and the Defenseman would make his way to the United States two years later.  After two years in the AHL, Lindell made it to the Dallas Stars, where he remains today.

A big man at over 6’ 3”, Lindell rarely draws penalties, and can anchor a power play when called upon.  Excellent on the offensive rush, Lindell has not yet received national acclaim for his work, only receiving Norris votes twice, peaking with an eleventh-place finish in 2019-20.  In terms of Defensive Point Shares, Lindell has been in the top ten four times, and led the NHL in that advanced metric in 2018-19. 

As of this writing, the criminally underrated Lindell is still with Dallas and should rise on this list.

Gary Collins was one of the first major offensive stars at Maryland, where he set numerous receiving records and was eighth in Heisman Trophy voting in his 1961 All-American season.  The Browns landed Collins with the Fourth Overall Pick for the 1962 Draft, and he joined an already potent squad.

Collins was eased into the receiving part of the game, only catching 11 passes as a rookie, but he was immediately the team's starting Punter, a role in which he led the NFL in Yards per Punt in 1965.  A member of the 1964 NFL Championship Team, Collins led the NFL in Receiving Touchdowns (13) in 1963 and had 70 in total in a career spent entirely with the Browns.

Collins was also a two-time Pro Bowl Selection and recorded 5,299 Yards from the air.  The Browns would honor Collins as one of his Legends in 2004.
