Cleveland Browns Top 10 Receivers of All-Time: Number 1

Ozzie Newsome, TE

Ozzie Newsome, nicknamed "The Wizard of Oz", is the Browns all-time leader in receiving yards and perhaps the team's best receiver in history.

Newsome played 13 seasons with Cleveland from 1978 - 1990, a rare example of a player who spent his whole career with the same team in an era where that was no longer par for the course.

Newsome was an All-Pro in 1979 and 1984 and a three time Pro Bowler. His 7,980 reception yards are the most by any Browns player in history, and was the highest total for any tight end in NFL history at the time of Newsome's retirement.

Newsome also had 662 career receptions and 47 career touchdowns. He caught passes in 150 consecutive games (the longest streak in the NFL at the time), and won the Ed Block Courage Award in 1986 for playing through injuries.

Perhaps most impressive, Newsome almost never fumbled. He had just three fumbles in his entire career, and zero after his third year in the league, leaving him with 10 straight seasons without a single one.

Newsome, not just the greatest pass receiver in Browns history but arguably the greatest tight end of all time, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999.
