What impresses me is that he is the ONLY player in NFL history to AVERAGE 100 yards per game and over 5 yards per carry over a career.
I was lucky enough to briefly meet and speak to him in 2015 when I sat across from him in first class after a Browns game in Jacksonville, FL. Thrill of a lifetime considering I remember pretending to be him or Leroy Kelly as a kid growing up in Cleveland in the 60s in our backyard "Kill the Man" games.
RIP Mr Brown.

GOAT is always up for debate but IMO he was the best RB to play the game. No question in my mind

Plus he Never Missed a game due to injury. I saw him play the Cowboys yearly (My Dad had season tickets)from 65-68. He usually ran over us and the rest of the league. I think we beat the Browns once when I was in Dallas. Leroy Kelly continued to Be Jim's successor and bane to my "Cowboys"
