The Cleveland Browns have a long and storied history, but what players have the honor of being one of their five best wide receivers of all-time

The Cleveland Browns seem to finally be heading in the right direction. After going just 1-31 over the past two seasons, the optimism seems to be much higher than it should be.

Still, it’s understandable and one of the reasons is their depth at key positions like quarterback, running back and of course wide receiver.

In this 2018 NFL Offseason, new general manager John Dorsey was able to land a star at the position in Jarvis Landry. The former Miami Dolphins star comes over after leading the NFL in receptions last season.

He joins former first round pick Corey Coleman, recently reinstated Josh Gordon and the controversial rookie Antonio Callaway.

Despite all the off-field concerns of Callaway and Gordon, this is the deepest group the Browns have had in years. With Tyrod Taylor — and eventually Baker Mayfield — throwing them the ball, they also have the chance to make history as some of the better players at the position for the storied Cleveland Browns.

Until they each prove they can be consistent stars, none of them will be considered the best at the position. Here we look at five players who have the distinction of being the best wide outs in Cleveland history.
