Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually. We are pleased to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Cleveland Browns.
As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:
1. Duration and Impact.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.
3. Advanced Statistics.
4. Playoff performance.
5. Their respective legacy on the team.
6. How successful the team was when he was there.
7. Respecting the era in which they played.
Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm. Please note that we have implemented this for the first time. This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.
Last year, the Browns won only five games, yet three players rose into the top 50.
As always, we present our top five, which saw a change at the top tier of the list.
1. Jim Brown
2. Otto Graham
3. Myles Garrett
4. Joe Thomas
5. Lou Groza
You can find the complete list here:
Defensive End Myles Garrett, who was shockingly traded to the Los Angeles Rams in the offseason after winning his second Defensive Player of the Year Award, moved up to #3 from #5.
Offensive Lineman Joel Bitonio edged up two more spots to #14.
The only other change was Cornerback Denzel Ward, who vaulted ten spots to #36.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
