Cleveland Browns Top 10 All-Time Running Backs: Number 10 (Tie)

Jamal Lewis
It wasn't always pretty, and in his final year Lewis limped to the end of his career. Nonetheless, the bruising back averaged more than 900 yards a season during his three years in Cleveland.
The only other running back in team history to do that was Jim Brown.
Lewis scored 13 touchdowns in the orange and brown, and added two more through the air. Remarkably, in three seasons Lewis fumbled only six times. He average 3.9 yards per attempt and at times carried the Browns during some lean quarterbacking years.
His time in Cleveland was brief but effective. Had he played longer in the orange and brown, he would have ranked higher, but it's appropriate to include him here.
