Worthy recipients: NFL folks who deserve statues in their honor

Who broke the color barrier?

Marion Motley.


We can afford M Motley, P Brown, J Brown, L Groza, and B Willis statues. Maybe 6 more?

Did someone mention Marion Motley yet???

Surely the great Paul Brown. He's the reason I still track the Brownies from a league perspective.

Here's a brief look at Brown's start with Cleveland at ProFootballFolklore.

I would have to say that if anyone deserve a statue, it should be the person the team itself is named after.

Jim Brown is a #2 to me, he was the greatest HB of his time, arguably of all time, and that's why he deserves that recognition to me.

This is mostly due to my ignorance of the "glory days" but those two Brown's deserve that kind of recognition the most in my eyes.

For some reason, I thought this was going to be another thread about receivers.

Do Cleveland Browns have legendary defensive players ? ie like Lawerence Talyor of New York Giants type.
