Derek Anderson
Why is it that so many of these guys played for the Browns? Quarterback Derek Anderson has to be near the top of Cleveland’s list of disappointments, as his one-season wonder is one of the franchise’s only two winning seasons in the last 25 years. In 2007, his third NFL season, Anderson started strong with 5 touchdowns in his first game, and he finished the year with 29 passing TDs and 3 rushing TDs. He led the team to a 10-6 record, but it still wasn’t quite enough to make the playoffs. Starting the following year, concussions and the arrival of Brady Quinn brought Anderson down several levels, and he spent the rest of his time in the NFL as a career backup before retiring in 2019.
