Warfield began and ended his Hall of Fame career with the Browns (1964-1969, 1976-1977) and starred for the Miami Dolphins from 1970-1974.  Known for his speed and great hands, he hauled in 427 catches and averaged a sensational 20.1 yards per reception during his career.   He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1983.

Davis, who was added to the Best of Yesterday and Today  lineup on Thursday, was the team's Most Valuable Player in 2003.  Originally drafted in the fifth round out of the University of Florida, Davis recorded a career high three interceptions last season despite missing five games with a knee injury.

Edwards, the Browns’ first round draft pick this year out of the University of Michigan, was the most prolific pass catcher in Wolverines history.  He set the school record with 252 receptions for 3,542 yards. His 39 career touchdown catches are the most ever in Big Ten history.
