Jim Brown the best football player ever

In my opinion Brown was the greatest football player in history, regardless of position. If you watch the old game films, he would break tackles of all 11 guys on defense sometimes to take it to the house. Amazing!

Playing on a team and in an era which didn't pass the football much, everyone in the house knew he was going to get the football play after play. Defenses were geared for him only, and he still delivered an average of 5.2 yards per carry and 104 yards per game for EVERY game in his 10-year career.

In that regard, in my opinion, he joins Michael Jordan as the GOAT of his sport. Everyone knew that MJ was going to take the big shot at the end, but he delivered over and over.

And think of this- despite the constant pounding on every play Jim Brown NEVER missed one game in 10 years- which is unthinkable today. He would intentionally get up slowly after every play so the opposition would not know whether or not he was injured.

Jim Brown embodied what the game of football has always been about- physical and mental toughness. I hope the current and future generations of young football fans can come to appreciate how great he really was.
