and management to help foster cohesion within the teams.

Hickerson passed away Oct. 20 at the age of 73. Hickerson joined the Brownsas a seventh-round draft choice out of Mississippi in 1957. His 15-year career,all with the Browns (1958-60, 1962-73), ended in 1973 as he played in 202

ames, which ranks fourth highest in franchise history, including a streak of 165onsecutive games, which also ranks fifth longest in team annals. He appeared

n six Pro Bowls (1966-71) and was voted an all-league selection on five occa-ions (1966-70). Hickerson was named the NFLs most outstanding blocker in969 and throughout his career was part of an offensive line that paved the wayor three Hall of Famers, legendary running backs Jim Brown, Bobby Mitchelland Leroy Kelly.

Everyone associated with the Cleveland Browns is saddened by his loss, saidBrowns Head Coach Romeo Crennel. His tenacity as a blocker and tough-ness as a player epitomized what it is to be a Cleveland Brown. We send our

houghts, prayers and condolences to the Hickerson family.

DYNAMIC DUOBrowns WR Braylon Edwards and TE Kellen Winslow became the first dBrowns history to each record 1,000 yards receiving in the same season.

The opposing defense has to pick their poison, double either myself or Brasaid Winslow. Braylon is good to have as a catalyst on this offense beche is getting open and beating his man. Opposing defenses have to accouboth of us on the field and then it creates opportunities for other players.

Edwards became the sixth receiver in Browns history to eclipse the 1,000mark in a single season, setting the franchise record for most receiving in a single season. Winslow joined Edwards as the seventh Browns receieclipse the 1,000-yard mark in a season.
