Browns to honor quarterback great Otto Graham with statueBy The Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) The Cleveland Browns are honoring Hall of Fame quarterback Otto Graham with a statue outside FirstEnergy Stadium.

Graham played 10 seasons with Cleveland, leading the Browns to a title game in each one. With Graham, the Browns won four All-America Football Conference championships (1946, 1947, 1948, 1949) and three NFL championships (1950, 1954, 1955).

In his final game, Graham threw for two touchdowns and ran for two in a 38-14 win over the Los Angeles Rams for the NFL title. For his career, he passed for 23,584 yards with 174 passing touchdowns and 44 rushing.

Graham was inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1965. He died in 2003 at 82.

The Browns will unveil the statue in September. It will be the second by the team, following one of Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown in 2016.
