Maybe Mitchell, but Warfield was already an established star and the reason why it took the fourth pick in the draft for the Dolphins to get him.

Perhaps it's my personal prejudices (I barely recall seeing Warfield play as a Brown, I would've been 10 when he left) but I do recall (vividly) the early '70's Dolphins. Maybe that's why I think of Warfield as being "better known" in Miami.

Ed McCaffrey started slowly with the Giants, then met greater success with the 49ers and Broncos.

I think Warfield is a guy where there can be a legitimate difference of opinion as to which team he's more associated with. I think Miami myself, but I could listen to arguments for Cleveland.

Was Rison ever known for being on any one particular team? I think IIRC he holds the records for most different teams to score a touchdown for. (7 I think)

Warfield was an all-pro with both Cleveland and Miami so I don't think he qualifies for this list. I call it a draw.

The reason why Miami Warfield gets more visibility than the (original) Cleveland version is obviously the fact that the Dolphins were a mini-dynasty where highlights are constantly being shown, whereas the Browns were "only" "a consistently solid team that won their last title in ancient times (aka pre-Super Bowl)

Couldn't agree more, Warfield was just as good a Brown but the Browns didn't reach the levels of the Find. Even though the Browns were very good.
