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 19 days away from the Browns' regular season opener. No. 19 is not currently being worn by anybody, and very few people have held the number in the history of the franchise. The number is practically retired by QB Bernie Kosar, although WR Miles Austin did wear it last year. Here is the list of players who have worn No. 19 in the history of the franchise, per Pro Football Reference:
From | To | AV | |
Billy Lefear | 1972 | 1972 | 0 |
Bernie Kosar | 1985 | 1993 | 64 |
Frisman Jackson | 2004 | 2004 | 1 |
Miles Austin | 2014 | 2014 | 3 |
