I remember him as a NFL super-star in the years that I got interested in football.
He had a great professional carer, A okay movie stint. And did a lot of good work promoting minority causes.

He was a great ballplayer. May he rest in peace.
There was a time when he played, that he was the absolute best at what he did. RIP Mr. Brown.

He is still the man whom running backs are compared to.

Well, they’re no Jim Brown, that’s for sure. 
Rest in peace Jim.
He was a classic for sure…RIP.
His average per carry was something like 5.4 yards. (Trying to go from memory, but that’s getting sketchier by the day.). That means a first down every other time he touched the ball! I know that’s not exactly true, but that’s what the math says.
He was a “in your face” RB. There were a bunch of them back then. Then cam the “finesse” RB’s. The one that I liked was Barry Sanders.
