Speedie did not let the disease slow him down as he developed remarkable speed and the skill to change speeds and direction, which helped him in to become an outstanding end. Mac led the NFL in receptions in 1952, but left Cleveland after the season and finished his career in the CFL." -- from Cleveland Browns History by F.M. Henkel.
