Here’s the main reason behind Browns’ name

DEAR EDITOR:

The new owner(s) of the Cleveland Browns perhaps does not know that the original owner, Art Modell, named them Cleveland Browns, due to the fact that Paul Brown, originally at Ohio State, Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Cleveland Rams in the former American Football Conference (AFC), joined the National Football League (NFL), thus naming them the Cleveland Browns. Incidentally, they had an outstanding fullback named Jim Brown.
