The Canadian Football Hall of Fame recently announced its five-member class for 2019, and most of them spent a brief period playing in the NFL. A few of these players will spark memories for a few fans, but Cleveland fans specifically may remember former wide receiver Terry Greer.

After having a great collegiate career for Alabama State, Greer was selected in the 11th round of the 1980 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams. Despite having an opportunity in the NFL, Greer decided to take a chance in the Canadian Football League and spent his rookie season with the Toronto Argonauts. Greer had his first 1,000-yard season during his second campaign (1981) and was a 1,000-yard receiver from 1981-1985.

The year that put Greer on the map, though, was 1983. He became the first player in all of professional football to record 2,000 receiving yards. Greer was the main reason Toronto won the Grey Cup that season and he earned the East Division Most Outstanding Player Award. He would have won the MOP award for the entire league, but Warren Moon was making noise in Edmonton during the same season.

After dominating the CFL for six seasons, the Cleveland Browns were the first franchise to take a chance on Greer. During the 1986 season with Cleveland, Greer played in 11 games and managed to snag just three passes for 51 yards. Greer then spent the next three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and finished his NFL season with the Detroit Lions in 1990.

Greer is also the first player in professional football to earn both a Super Bowl and Grey Cup championship. He may not be the most recognizable name, but he had a great career, earning two Super Bowl rings and a Grey Cup ring. A Tennessee native, Greer resides in Cleveland.

Greer and the rest of the 2019 Hall of Fame class will be inducted in Hamilton, Ontario, on Aug. 9.
