Cleveland Browns - Jim Brown

Cleveland Browns - Jim Brown

Historically, the Cleveland Browns have not had alot of success in attempting to get back to championship form, but the Ohio-based football franchise has had several notable individuals represent their franchise to best of their abilities. Yet, none of them can ever be as impactful as former running back, Jim Brown. In just nine seasons of play (1957-65), Brown revolutionized the game and was nearly impossible to bring down during his era in the NFL. Defenders would bounce off of him like pinballs as Brown would continue to drive his legs towards his endzone.

Not only was Brown an All-America football athlete at Syracuse University, he also excelled at basketball, lacrosse, and track & field. However, Jim Brown took his talents to the NFL where he was drafted 6th overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 1957 NFL Draft. The 9x Pro Bowler earned an NFL Championship with the Browns in 1964 and went on to lead the league in rushing eight times out of the nine years he played. With 106 rushing touchdowns and 12,312 rushing yards under his belt, Brown is still amongst the all-time leading running backs to this very day.
