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.

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.
