37. Clarence Scott

An All-American at Kansas State, Clarence Scott was the recipient of Cleveland’s First Round Pick (14th Overall) in 1971, and it was with the Browns that he would spend his entire 13-year career.

Scott started at Cornerback, and he would record at least two Interceptions every year except for 1972.  A Pro Bowler in 1973, Scott cracked the five-pick mark that year and had four other years with four.

Scott would move to Safety in the last five years of his career but remained a starter until his final year in 1983.  Scott would have 39 Interceptions over his career, and in 2012, the Browns named him as one of their Legends.
