Brown's history: Milt Morin



Before Ozzie Newsome changed the tight end position, the typical NFL tight end was a big bruising blocker with good hands but rarely used like Newsome was as a long range threat. Tight ends like John Mackey and Mike Ditka typified the position. Milt Morin was Cleveland's tight end in the late sixties and early seventies. He was a consistent presence who could block and was always a threat to catch a short pass and gain 10 - 15 yards while bowling over some poor defensive back.
