Alright, so I wanted to put together a quick reference for the 1985 Cleveland Browns roster. You know, for nostalgia’s sake and maybe to settle a bar bet or two. Here’s how I went about it.
First, I fired up my trusty search engine. No magic here, just good old-fashioned searching. I typed in something like “Cleveland Browns roster 1985”.
I scrolled through a few of the initial results. Some were general fan sites, some were news articles from back in the day – nothing really concrete for what I needed.
Then, I spotted a couple of sites that looked promising, dedicated sports statistics websites.
Digging into the Data
Once I found a site that looked reliable, I started sifting through the information. It wasn’t always pretty, mind you. Some of these older websites look like they haven’t been updated since, well, 1985! But the data was there, so I kept going.
I basically went through, player by player, and jotted down the names, positions, and any other interesting stats I could find.
Putting It All Together
After I gathered all the names and positions, I decided to organize them to make more sense. I created that information into a simple list format to be read.
- Offense
- Quarterbacks
- and all players…
- Running Backs
- and all players…
- Defense
- Special Teams
And that’s it, it is a bit time-consuming, and I checked my work against a couple of different sources to make sure I didn’t miss anyone or make any big mistakes.
