Crowell is the second player in this group to have success without Shanahan —  and he shared a backfield with West in 2014 as an undrafted rookie out of Alabama State. He had 148 carries, 607 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns, along with 87 receiving yards on nine catches. He wound up posting three more very good years with the Browns before moving on to the Jets where he had a strong final season in 2018.

Numbers with Shanahan: 16 games, 148 carries, 607 rushing yards, 8 rushing touchdowns, 9 receptions, 87 receiving yards.

Numbers without Shanahan: 61 games, 732 carries, 3,196 rushing yards, 19 rushing touchdowns, 108 receptions, 835 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown.
