39. Jim Houston

Another product of Ohio State who became a Cleveland Brown, Jim Houston was a First Rounder in 1960, and the Linebacker became a starter during his rookie year.

The Browns in the 60s were known more for their explosive offense, but it was players like Houston that were needed to keep the balance on the other side.  Houston was a member of the 1964 NFL Championship Team, and individually, he earned four Pro Bowls and the nickname of Mr. Dependable".

Houston played until 1972, all of which were as a Brown.  Statistically, he had 14 Interceptions and 29.5 Sacks, and Cleveland would call Houston's name as one of their Legends in 2006.
