About Gene Hickerson, Hall of Famer

Gene Hickerson was an offensive guard who spent 15 seasons with the Cleveland Browns, from 1958 to 1973 with a two-year absence due to injury. The Mississippi native became one of the most decorated linemen of his era, earning first-team All-NFL honors five consecutive years and six Pro Bowl selections between 1965 and 1970. Playing alongside Hall of Famers Jim Brown and Leroy Kelly, Hickerson helped anchor an offense that never experienced a losing season and featured a 1,000-yard rusher in all but one of his ten seasons. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007.

Did you know? Jim Brown called Hickerson 'the greatest downfield blocker in the history of pro football.'
