Tight End — Ozzie Newsome

At tight end we have former Alabama stand out Ozzie Newsome. He was one of the first pass catching phenoms at tight end and he finished with 7,980 receiving yards and 47 touchdowns off 662 receptions. His career spanned from 1978 through 1990 and he’s since become a great mind in the front office — even if it has to be for the Ravens.

Wide Receivers — Paul Warfield, Gary Collins

Paul Warfield is one wide out for the Browns and was also a standout for the Ohio State Buckeyes. He was lightning fast and averaged just under 20-yards per reception for his career. While he only hit the 1,000-yard mark once, the era he played in has to be taken into consideration there. Playing from 1964 to 1977, Warfield was a star before the NFL became a pass happy league.

Opposite him is Gary Collins, who also spent time as a punter for the Browns. What made Collins great wasn’t the fact that he was a solid punter for them while still proving to be a weapon as a receiver, but it was his knack for playing his best football when the team needed him most.

At 6-foot-5, Collins would still be a big target to this day, and could continue to have success in the red zone thanks to that size and his solid hands.
