Perhaps the most important moment of Alex Mack's career in Cleveland came when he was carted off the field with a broken fibula during an October victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. At the time,  the Browns were 3-2 and appeared to be in the driver's seat of the AFC North. And while Cleveland would ultimately advance to 7-4, its season fell apart from there as the Browns finished the year with five straight losses en route to a meager 7-9 campaign.

Mack's absence from Cleveland's lineup wasn't the only reason for the Browns' struggles, but it was one of the biggest. After being selected in the first round of the 2009 draft, Mack became a mainstay of Cleveland's interior offensive line, starting in 85 straight games before suffering his aforementioned fractured fibula and 101 games overall between 2009-2015.

In that span, the California product amassed three Pro Bowl selections (2010, 2013, 2015) and one second-team All-Pro honor (2013). Following the 2015 season, he signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Falcons, with whom he has earned three more Pro Bowl selections as a member of.

Next up, the candidates for the Cleveland Browns' All-Decade Defensive Ends:

Jabaal Sheard (2011-2014)

Desmond Bryant (2013-2015)

Tallied 113 tackles, 18 of which came for a loss and 14.5 sacks in 41 games with the Browns (all starts), including a team-high six sacks in 2015.

Emmanuel Ogbah (2016-2018)

Selected in the second round (32nd overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft. Led the Browns with 5.5 sacks as a rookie and tallied 12.5 sacks, 16 tackles for a loss and 17 pass defenses in 40 games in Cleveland (all starts).
