Josh Cribbs got his start with Northeast Ohio football as Kent State's quarterback
Kent State University is retiring the jersey number of Joshua Cribbs, one of the most popular players on the Cleveland Browns.
Cribbs played quarterback at Kent State where he set a school record for all-time total offense before becoming an undrafted signee with the Browns in 2005. He’s the only player in NCAA history to lead his team in both rushing and passing in four different seasons.
Cribbs’ number nine is just the fourth number retired in Kent State’s 88-year football history.   Cribbs calls the announcement and honor and affirmation.
