Ryan discusses a play with Browns coach Blanton Collier. Collier believed in Ryan and stuck with him through early struggles with the Browns. It paid off with Ryan playing in three consecutive Pro Bowls (’65, ’66 and ’67) and leading the Browns to Cleveland’s last professional sports title in 1964.

On the cover:

Frank Ryan, the quarterback who led the Cleveland Browns to a national championship in 1964, was still on the team when he became an assistant professor of mathematics at Case Institute of Technology in 1967. During his first semester, he had surgery on his right shoulder to repair an injury he had received in the 1965 Pro Bowl.
