Syracuse Football: Jim Brown to announce Browns NFL Draft pick

While it seems like Cleveland Browns fans are split on who they should take in the NFL Draft, I’ll tell you what they aren’t split on, Jim Brown.

The former Syracuse football star has been a prominent figure in the Cleveland community since being taken with the sixth overall pick in the 1957 NFL Draft. Many consider Brown not only the greatest running back of all time, but quite possibly the greatest football player of all time.

That hoopla didn’t start in Cleveland, it started with a different shade of Orange here in the salt city.
