6. Frisman Jackson, receiver/Hail Mary quarterback, 2002-2005: Played quarterback in college at traditional powerhouse Western Illinois and is probably better known for having the strongest arm perhaps in Browns history. He was the guy we’d bring in if we needed a 60-yard heave. Judging by how crappy those offenses were, we should have tried it more often. Caught one touchdown in, uhh, 34 career games. Right, moving on.
7. Spergon Wynn, quarterback, 2000: The fact that he played in 10 NFL games gives hope to you and me that we, too, can be NFL quarterbacks. Threw 152 passes with the Browns and Vikings in two seasons and had one touchdown and seven picks.
8. Earthwind Moreland, cornerback, 2001: Strictly the name. I’m listening to “After the Love Has Gone” and “September” right now on my iPod, actually. He was supposed to develop into a nickel back for us. Appeared in two games with the Brownies. Did You Know?: Earthwind played for the AFL’s Las Vegas Gladiators in 2007? He didn’t make the cut when the team moved to Cleveland this year, though.
9. Wali Rainer, linebacker, 1999-2001: Probably one of few – very few – Brownies who could have played for real NFL teams during that era. Between him and Szczerbiak now, I guess I have a thing for guys named “Wali”, too. It rolls off the tongue nicely.
10. Mason Unck, special team extraordinaire, 2003-2006: Needed a special teams tackle? Unck was your man! I think former Bill and current CBS announcer Steve Tasker had a man-crush on Unck. And you know what? So did I.
11. Brian Kinchen, tight end, 1991-1995: I have no idea, I really don’t. I think I liked his name a lot, because I thought it was “Kitchen”, not “Kinchen”. Did You Know?: According to Wiki, Kinchen “was a commentator for ESPNU but was suspended after making a comment during a game that receivers needed to use their soft hands to ‘caress’ the ball and responding to his comment as ‘kinda gay.’”
12. Jamel White, third down back/kick returner, 2000-2003: He was so small! And he went to South Dakota! He was like a JV version of Eric Metcalf. I always wanted to see him used more, but the coaches were probably concerned he’d be broken in half or something. He had a monster against Green Bay in 2001, running for 131 yards and 85 yards receiving, in a, uhh, 30-7 Browns loss.
