Homeskoolin' "The Greatest NFL Running Back Of All Time"
Chapters00:00 - Jim Brown tribute RIP
Notes
No one in their right mind would argue this fact.
12,312 yards rushing in 9 seasons
8 rushing titles in those 9 seasons
Never missed a game in those 9 seasons
4 of those 9 seasons they only played 12 games, the other 5 they only played 14...that's 118 total games that he played in.
Jim AVERAGED 5.2 yards per carry.....that is what he AVERAGED friends.
Sure Emmitt Smith broke Jim's alltime rushing record, but Emmitt also played in 226 total games (almost twice as many as Jim) and averaged 4.2 yards per carry.
This video is a chronology of Jim's NFL career in cards...starting with the 1958 Topps Rookie, straight through to his last card, from the 1966 Philadelphia Gum set.
For you diehard card collectors out there, yes i also have the four Fleer Jimmy Brown cards from 1960-1963, but I didn't want to dig them out.
You guys all clearly know he has always been my alltime favorite player.
I was lucky enough to stand right next to him for 45 minutes during a press conference a while back.
Another great one gone...he will be missed
