| Gary Collins |
1962 First Round draft pick Gary Collins racked up 5,299 receiving yards for the Browns from 1962 to 1971.
Though his best season was in 1966 when he had 56 receptions, 946 yards, and 12 touchdowns, Collins' most memorable feat came in the 1964 Championship Game when he pulled down three passes for touchdowns.
Collins holds the team record for career receiving touchdowns (70) and receiving touchdowns in one season (13, 1963).
Perhaps most interesting, Collins was also the team's punter, and a pretty good one to boot (pun intended), averaging a respectable 41.1 yards-per-attempt.
Collins is a member of the Browns Legends, but has never been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, though many argue that he belongs there.
