Before current Baltimore Ravens Executive Vice President Ozzie Newsome made history by becoming the first African American to ever hold the role of General Manager of an NFL franchise, he put together a Hall of Fame career as a player.
He spent 13 years playing tight end for the Cleveland Browns from 1978 to 1990 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the 1999 class alongside fellow legends Lawrence Taylor and Eric Dickerson.
Former long-time league executive and general manger Scott Pioli worked alongside Newsome when he made the transition from a player to joining and eventually leading a front office with the Browns who would relocate to Baltimore in 1996 and become the Ravens.
