He played a large role in Cleveland’s 4-0 surge at the start of the campaign with several key tackles and quarterback sacks. Lyle was voted as NFL’s Man of the Year in 1977.”
Lawrence Johnson "was MVP on Wisconsin Track Team in 1976 and 1977, winning 7 Big-10 sprint titles," says his 1983 card. The Browns' second-round pick of 1979, "he has been starting cornerback for club since 1980 campaign."
A native of San Diego who was the Browns' 13th-round draft choice out of San Diego State in 1972, Brian Sipe "continues to rehabilitate an old home he bought" in Encinitas, Calif., says his 1981 card.
Mike Phipps was Cleveland's first-round draft choice out of Purdue in 1970. "After 2 years of mostly watching from the bench, Mike took over Browns' starting quarterback assignment, 9-24-72, and led club to 27-17 victory vs. Eagles," says Phipps's 1975 card. "He guided Browns to 6 consecutive triumphs in 1972."
