| Mike Pruitt |
Perhaps one of the most unsung stars in Browns history, the "other" Pruitt stands third on the team's all-time rushing list, behind only Jim Brown and Leroy Kelly.
Pretty heady company, and well-deserved. When the dust had settled, Mike had distinguished himself as "the" Pruitt in Cleveland.
Had he played 20 years earlier and compiled the totals he did (7,378 career rushing yards with three teams), he would have been a candidate for the Hall of Fame. As it is, he's been recognized as one of the Browns legends.
With Cleveland Pruitt amassed 6,540 yards over nine seasons with 47 touchdowns. He also caught 255 passes for 1,761 yards and five more scores.
The first round draft choice out of Purdue made two Pro Bowl appearances as a Brown, before finishing his career with Buffalo and Kansas City.
