Best Cleveland Browns pass-catcher No. 3: Paul Warfield

Former Cleveland wideout Paul Warfield is in the NFL Hall of Fame and for good reason. He had an eight-year career with the Browns, although that was split between a six-year stint first that began in 1964, the last season the Browns won an NFL Championship Game, and then a two-year stint from 1976 to 1977.

In between, he went to the Miami Dolphins and played five years, and also won a Super Bowl while playing for the only team to go undefeated and win the title. Warfield, another consistent star, was an eight-time Pro Bowler during his Hall of Fame career but Cleveland fans are more interested in him being a local hero.

Warfield was born in Warren, Ohio, and played his college ball at Ohio State. The Browns drafted him in the first round of the 1964 NFL Draft and he made an immediate impact. He caught 52 passes for 920 yards and had nine touchdowns during his rookie campaign.

He came back from an injury in 1965 to have four more seasons of outstanding play for the Browns. His best season was in 1968 when he went for 1,067 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Warfield finished his time in Cleveland going for 271 receptions and 5,210 yards and 52 touchdowns.
