I think in most circles Jim Brown is considered the greatest of running backs. He set the benchmark.
A phenomenal competitor.
1. 104.3 yd. aver. per game career
2. 5.2 yd. per carry aver. career
3. 9 years in the NFL . 9 pro bowls- 8yrs. all pro.
L.F.7 has the speed , power , vision and so far character , (the tools), (the potential) to be great.
However he hasn't even strapped on a helmet or is even a drafted rookie yet. No one knows yet how good or how bad he will be. I think there is one thing that is the equalizer to him and any other competitive athletes. This is the most important stat of Jim Browns career.
4. 9 straight seasons 0 missed games due to injury.
Literally every G.M., scout ,coach, fan and Chinese banjo player knows Fournette has the potential to be a difference maker but no one knows if an injury or a wayward meteor will put an end to his or anyones career. Just like investing in the market, previous results don't guarantee future gains but it's all we've got to go on.

I can agree with all of that.

Just keep in mind though in terms of Brown's ability to stay healthy. In his first 4 seasons in the league, the NFL played 12 regular season games. During his final 5 seasons, the regular season consisted of 14 games.
