What year did the AFL-NFL merger occur?
Asked by Wiki User
The AFL-NFL merger occurred in 1970. At that time there were 10 teams in the AFL and 16 teams in the NFL. To even the number of teams among the two new conferences (AFC and NFC) the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Colts, and Cleveland Browns agreed to move from the NFL to the AFC so there could be 13 teams in each conference. There have been six new expansion teams enter the NFL since the merger:
1976 - Tampa Bay, Seattle
1995 - Carolina, Jacksonville
1996 - Baltimore (The owner of the team in Cleveland moved his players to his new franchise in Baltimore in 1996, leaving Cleveland's team in Cleveland, but officially inactive. In 1999 Cleveland was activated, but were technically not an expansion team).
2002 - Houston (The team previously in Houston moved to Tennessee in 1997).
EDIT: The owner of the Browns until the 1995 season desided he wanted to move to Baltimore. The NFL, Modell ( owner ) and the city of Cleveland came to the argeement. Modell could take his players with current contracts go Baltimore and would start the 31st NFL Franchise .( Jacksonville being 30th ) NFL/Cleveland kept Cleveland Browns history, championships , colors and overall heritage in Cleveland for a expansion team when the time was right by turning the Browns organzation into a holding company ( Cleveland NFL football LLC) until the next owner took over. The NFL considers both the 46-95 Browns & 99- present Browns the same team so the Baltimore Ravens are the 31st NFL Franchise.
FACT: Baltmore and Tampa Bay are the only post merger teams to win a Super Bowl.

What is an NFL fullbacks average 40 time?
Asked by Wiki User
It really depends on the type of defensive end , for example a 4-3 end is usually pretty quick (Freeney for the Colts ran a 4.4 40 in the combine) while an end in a 3-4 defensive scheme is usually bigger and not primarily used as a pass rusher, instead those teams use the outside linebackers to rush the qb and keep the DE to stop up the line or the run game (think Clay Matthews for the Packers or Demarcus Ware for the Cowboys). Overall a defensive end in pro football runs around a 4.85 and usually the faster ones are on a traditional 4-3 and the bigger ones in a 3-4 set.

Actually your wrong and right. Jim Brown and the Cleveland Browns won the 1964 NFL Championship which at that time was the equivalent to the Superbowl at that time. The Superbowl was not created until 1967 which featured the Green Bay Packers, and the Kansas City Chiefs. By the way I own Jim Browns 1964 Championship ring.
