Former lineman Bob Gain, who helped the Cleveland Browns win three NFL Championships, died Monday night. He was 87.
Gain, who played 13 seasons in Cleveland, was part of three teams — 1954, 1955 and 1964 — that captured league titles under legendary head coach Paul Brown.
Gain, a two-way standout on the defensive and offensive lines, was a force for the Browns in the trenches, whether it was stopping opposing running backs or protecting Hall of Fame quarterback Otto Graham’s blindside.
Gain was named to five Pro Bowls and a second-team All Pro selection seven times.
