Jim Taylor and Y.A. Tittle won AP NFL MVP in consecutive seasons ('62 and '63).
They remain the only two different players from the same school to win AP NFL MVP in consecutive seasons.

I met him when I was in high school, and he let me try on his Super Bowl ring. It fit on my thumb.

Growing up watching football and Super Bowls in the Seventies and Eighties is light years from what it has become. A corporate clusterfrick. Players had legit fun back then and didn't give a frick.

The only autograph I ever saved was Jim Taylor, got it when I was 5 or 6 years old and became a huge Green Bay/LSU fan at that age, still have it.

He was the only competition for rushing stats with Jim Brown. Out rushed him one year.

The NFL was still evolving back then. Tv contracts. REAL Monday Night Football. The Super Bowl STILL had its growing to do and it was a better product overall than it is today..... To this day the 1982 SB[SF vs.Cincy] is still the highest rated SB ever... Not sur what happened to cause this but man the 70's and 80's were some kinda good for the NFL... It may be mor popular now[somehow] but for the wrong reasons...... The Super Bowl has lost its luster bigtime. Its all fluff and duff and they spend SO much talking about he game and the commercials are way to many... ALSO the SB should NEVER start no latter than 4:30 Eastern Time.

Agreed PJ. Remember what it was like before the commercials became the main focus of attention. The first Super Bowl I remember as a kid was the Minnesota-Pittsburgh game in 1975 I think. Terry Bradshaw was from my hometown and that made me a huge Steeler fan. Neighbors across the street were from Minnesota and it had snowed the night before the game. They had carved out their prediction in the snow on the roof of their house having the Vikings win by 17-10. I remember that pissing me off as a six year old kid and loving it when the Steelers kicked their arse. Great memories.

One of LSUs greatest and maybe the toughest to ever play the game, Jim Taylor. 2nd all time NFL rushing yardage player behind Jim Brown when he retired. Great Tiger.

The days when fullbacks weren't just blockers and players spent their careers with one team. Also an era when many players had to work off season jobs to support their families.
I was not around then but I think I prefer an NFL where money wasn't out of control like today.

Thanks for posting. Jimmy was great at LSU. Beyond that, with Lipscomb, Unitas, Starr, Tittle, Layne, Brown he created the excitement and legends that let the NFL overtake pro baseball to become what is today.

The consummate tough guy. What a talent Jimmy Taylor was, and quite a good man too. guy came from very humble positions in life and fricken earned it. He was a man's man.

another tidbit. Jimmy Taylor and Paul Horning we both original members of the 1967 Saints. I have a football signed by all of the original Saints.
