He was traded to Cleveland after the 1972 season, but only saw mop-up duty in four games during the regular season--even though Mike Phipps was brutal that year (9 TD's and 20 picks). He was then cut by the Browns, and the Chargers (who were no doubt familiar with his potential when he played for San Diego State) picked him up, but he never saw the field.Citizen wrote:Horn hurt his knee during pregame warmups before the Packers' 1970 Thanksgiving game at Dallas. That was almost beside the point, though, because he had already said he would play out his option in Green Bay that season. Lombardi (Horn has claimed) had wanted to bring him to Washington and that never happened, and then Starr (again, Horn claims) told him he was going to play four more years. So Horn made it clear he wanted out of Green Bay, and then proceeded to have a horrific 1970 season before getting hurt. During his one year in Denver, he hurt his shoulder and re-injured his knee, and that was that.
