The most consistently winning quarterback in pro football history — Otto Graham led Cleveland to a championship game in each of his ten professional seasons, winning seven of them.

Otto Graham led the Cleveland Browns to the championship game in each of his ten professional seasons (1946–1955), winning seven of them. No quarterback in history has come close to matching that rate of championship appearances. He played under the legendary Paul Brown and was the prototype of the modern pocket passer. His ten-year championship rate is the most remarkable sustained winning record in professional football history.

He appeared in the championship game in all ten of his professional seasons — the most sustained winning record any quarterback has achieved.
