Max Speedie, Left End |
The aptly-named Speedie was a five-time Pro Bowl selectee during his career with the Browns (1946-1952), and racked up 5,602 career yards, an already impressive total which only becomes more so when one considers that he and Lavelli were on the team at the same time.
His best season was in 1947, when he had 67 receptions, 1,146 yards, and six touchdowns. He led the AAFC in receiving yards three times and led the team in receptions during five different seasons.
Speedie was a Hall of Fame finalist in 1970 and 1972, and a senior candidate in 1983, but was never enshrined.
