An exceptionally popular player during his days in Cleveland (the local McDonalds franchises even had a sandwich named after him for a time), Michael Dean Perry was a defensive beast who, while with the Browns, was one of the leaders of a strong defense. MDP would go to five Pro Bowls as a Brown (his sixth coming with Denver), and he was a First Team All-Pro and Second Team All-Pro twice. He was also named the AFC Defensive Player of the Year in 1989. Not to bad for someone considered a little undersized, but nobody doubted his quickness off the snap was unquestioned.
