5. Webster Slaughter (1986-1991)

The first player we look at is Webster Slaughter who played for the Cleveland Browns, Houston Oilers, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants and finally the San Diego Chargers. His career lasted from 1986 through 1998, but his best season came while still part of the Browns.

In 1989 Slaughter recorded 1m236 yards off 65 receptions. His 19-yards per catch average was the best of his career as was his total yardage and six touchdowns. Overall, Slaughter had 4,834 yards and 27 touchdowns in his six seasons with the Browns.

He wound up making two Pro Bowls in his career, the first of which came in 1989 with the Browns. That same season he was named to the All-Pro team.

4. Kevin Johnson (1999-2003)

A former quarterback at Syracuse, Kevin Johnson joined the Browns in 1999 while they were first returning to the NFL. Despite their poor play at the quarterback spot, Johnson was able to live up to his billing as a second-round pick.

In just four and a half seasons with the Browns, Johnson had 315 receptions for 3,836 yards and 23 touchdowns. He never made a Pro Bowl, but had a couple really big seasons with the franchise that drafted him.

As a rookie, Johnson had 986 yards and eight touchdowns. In 2001, he totaled 1,097 yards and nine scores. Johnson provided a consistent threat for a team that had instability all around him.
