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.
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"
