A "ball hawk" in Cleveland's defensive backfield, Warren Lahr intercepted 40 passes from 1950-59 to rank second on the team's all-time list, trailing only Thom Darden's team record 45 interceptions. Lahr joined the Browns as a free agent in 1948 and after sitting out the '48 season with a knee injury he became a regular in the defensive backfield. He had a personal-best 8 interceptions in 1950 and either led the team or tied for the team lead in interceptions four times (1950, '51, '53 and '55). Lahr played on four championship teams (1949 in the All America Football Conference and 1950, '54 and '55 in the NFL) with the Browns.
