Ozzie Newsome first rose to fame as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history and one of the Cleveland Browns top players from the 1970s and 80s. He’s in the Hall of Fame for his outstanding work in his 13 years with the Browns.

Fans today know Newsome as the longtime general manager of the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, Newsome moved with the franchise when they left Cleveland. Despite becoming a big part of the enemy, many Browns fans still hold Newsome in high regard.

His tenure as the Ravens GM will come to an end following the 2018 season. Owner Steve Biscotti revealed the shakeup, with Newsome’s longtime right-hand man Eric DeCosta taking over the GM role.

Newsome, 61, will remain with the team in a different and as-yet-undetermined capacity.

It’s always been easy and natural to hate the Ravens. It’s never been easy to feel that enmity towards Newsome.
