The 2021 Cleveland Browns Legends Program honorees have been selected.

The Cleveland Browns announced the newest members to be inducted into their Legends Program: quarterback Bill Nelson, and linebacker D’Qwell Jackson.

Bill Nelson was acquired in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1968 to backup Frank Ryan. After a 1-2 start to the season, Nelson took over as the starter and beat the Steelers, his former team, 31-24.
