Cleveland Browns to add trio to Legends Club in 2026

The Cleveland Browns will expand their Legends Club by incorporating three new members in 2026, announced prior to the season opener on September 27. This trio joins the prestigious group, which currently celebrates eight championship teams and 18 Pro Football Hall of Famers.

Leading the induction is Alex Mack, a first-round pick by the Browns in 2009, who made a remarkable 100 consecutive starts, including 85 during the beginning of his career. Mack, a three-time Pro Bowl center, was a cornerstone of the dominant offensive line alongside Hall of Famers Joe Thomas and Joel Bitonio.

Next to be inducted is Lou Rymkus, who played in the inaugural season of the Browns in 1946 during the All-American Football Conference. Over six seasons, Rymkus was a key component of five league title victories, including the 1950 NFL Championship. Rymkus earned All-Pro honors in 1948 and retired in 1951.

Lastly, the Browns will honor Brian Brennan, a fan favorite and fourth-round draft pick in 1984. Over eight seasons, Brennan amassed 315 receptions and 4,148 yards, tying for 15th place in receiving touchdowns with 19. Brennan's most successful season was in 1986, when he led the team in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns while guiding the Browns to the AFC Championship Game.
