Cleveland Browns Top 10 Receivers of All-Time: Number 7

Webster Slaughter, WR
Webster Slaughter was drafted by and spent the first half of his career with the Browns, from 1986 to 1991.
A critical member of the great Browns lineups from the mid-late 1980s, Slaughter caught 305 passes, scored 27 touchdowns, and posted 4,834 yards in his six seasons with the franchise.
Slaughter saw his best season in 1989, posting 65 receptions, 1,236 yards and six touchdowns and starting in the Pro Bowl. His 1,236 yard season was a franchise record until Braylon Edwards broke it with 1,289 yards in 2007.
Former Browns General Manager Ernie Accorsi called Slaughter, who averaged 19 yards per reception during his tenure with the team, "one of the best receivers the Browns ever had".
