54 Days Until the Browns' Regular-Season Opener

Ron Schwane-USA TODAY Sports

We are doing a countdown to the Cleveland Browns' first regular season game against the New York Jets, which is on September 13, 2015. For each day we are counting down, we will try to find a photo of a current or past member of the Browns in that uniform, and we'll also list the players who have donned that jersey in the past.

As of Tuesday, we are just 54 days away from the Browns' regular season opener. No. 54 is currently being worn by outside linebacker Scott Solomon. Two notable players wore it back-to-back from 1966 to 1984 in C Fred Hoaglin and C Tom DeLeone, but ILB Andra Davis also brought it some notoriety in recent years. Here is the list of players who have worn No. 54 in the history of the franchise, per Pro Football Reference:
