Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Milton Ross Plum (born January 20, 1935 in Westville, New Jersey) was an American football quarterback who played for the Cleveland Browns (1957-61), Detroit Lions (1962-67), Los Angeles Rams (1968) and New York Giants (1969) of the National Football League. Plum played quarterback, defensive back, punter and placekicker at Penn State after his prep years playing for Woodbury High School. After using their first-round pick in the 1957 NFL Draft on Jim Brown, the Browns chose Plum in the second round. Plum got onto the field at quarterback in the fourth game of the 1957 season when starter Tommy O'Connell got hurt against the Philadelphia Eagles. Plum and O'Connell would split time throughout the rest of the 1957 season, in which the Browns went 9-2-1 and won the Eastern Conference.
