You want to know how old school Don Colo is?
He played for Baltimore Colts, the New York Yanks, the Dallas Texans, and eventually established himself as one of the best defensive tackles in the league with the Cleveland Browns.
Colo, who will be inducted as a Browns Legend during ceremonies this weekend, was traded to Cleveland from Baltimore in 1953 in a then-record 15-player deal that also included sending future Hall of Fame coach Don Shula to the Colts.
The Browns so-so defense was completely transformed upon Colo’s arrival. For the next five seasons, Cleveland would lead the league in points allowed behind the menacing lineman with powerful hands and ability to sense which plays were coming from opponents.
