His impact in the NFL was immediate, as Newsome was named the Brown’s Offensive MVP, the first rookie in Brown’s history to do so. Newsome would never miss a game over his 13 year career, being named to three ProBowls, winning two Super Bowls, and setting a Browns record with 662 receptions and 7,980 yards.
