THE BEST fast strong agile and a beast for contact,ability is great you couple that with availability he NEVER missed a game... the only back that has almost all his gifts was Earl Campbell... Brown was the best Lacrosse player in the nation,average almost 40 points a game in high school basketball career,there was nothing this man wouldn't have excelled at!!

What amazes me the most about Jim Brown is the numbers he put up were in an era that was only a 12 game season. Only the last two years of his career there were 14 game seasons. If he played in a 16 game season or now 17 games, he would be the first player with 20,000 yards rushing

Came here to re watch a legend. Even though he was before my time can’t deny the impact he had on football. Rip brother you will be cherished.💙

I have had a very unusual friendship with Jim for 30 years. We have never talked football and I have never been to a game or watched one! But...I feel such love for him as an independent thinker, a kind friend, a no nonsense activist, a great storyteller and a fighter for so many causes. I know him to be a good husband and father. He has been there for me in times of need. I look up to him with huge respect and affection.

I agree with you that Jim Brown was the GOAT. However, don’t forget that he did have a bad game now and then. He wasn’t Superman. I recall the 1958 playoff against the Giants with a trip to the NFL championship against the Colts at stake, when he rushed for 8 yards in 7 carries. He could be stopped occasionally, and he was. From watching his highlight films, you would think that he ran for a TD every time he touched the ball. He didn’t. Sometimes he was completely shut down. He was also quite fumble prone, and Jim was not a particularly good blocker either. He had weaknesses in his game. Also, he was never able to defeat Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers even once during his entire NFL career. NOT ONCE!!! Lombardi always contained Jim Brown whenever Green Bay played Cleveland. I think Brown was like 0-7 against the Packers over the course of his 9 years. And whenever he went head to head against Jim Taylor, Jim Taylor always got the better of him. Just sayin...

Jim Brown, an amazing NFL player, outstanding actor, civil rights advocate, wonderful person. Very successful RIP brother!! God rest his soul

Just heard of Mr.Brown death R.I.P Legend 😢thank you for helping to change us all for the better

He was considered to be one of the greatest running backs of all time, as well as one of the greatest players in NFL history. He was a big guy who stood 6 foot 2 and 232 pound back who was the greatest professional football player ever when he retired from the NFL. He was not only an athlete, but he was an actor as well as a civil rights activist. R.I.P. Jim Brown!!!

Rest In Peace Mr. Brown🙏🙏🤎🤍🤎🤍

R.I. P. Jim Brown. The greatest player in NFL history.

An incomparably powerful man who grew up in a world with no agency. It is unsurprising that he was a sometimes-violent man, or that he didn't believe in anything but the strength of individuals. If all of us were as powerful of character and body as Jim Brown, that would probably be true. For future generations he is the epitome of a man who did the best in turning an indefatigable spirit into incomparable achievement.

No one. I mean no one can can top Jim Brown. Saw him play in my early teens years and onward. Not only the greatest football player ever but the greatest college lacrosse player in collegiate history. Also ran track and played basketball at Syracuse. No artificial surface back then. They played in the mud with no footing in the rain. The league was a geared toward the run game. Passing was very difficult. Receivers could half tackled on their routes. Closed lined going across the middle and blindsided on tackles,and offensive lineman couldn’t grab and hold like they do today. Every defense was geared to stop the run. The NFL ranked the 100 greatest players in history and No 1 was Jerry Rice. No.2 was Brown, what a joke. The false argument that if he played today he wouldn’t be as great. Bullshit.with the training and conditioning they have today along with better nutrition, Brown would be be even greater. This was a freaking MAN!

It seems that professional athletes in the '50s and '60s --- and you can especially see this in tennis players and football players --- kept their bodies much looser than they do today. They kept the muscular tension out of their bodies, and therefore moved more fluidly when they performed on the field. You can see this with Brown. His legs, hips, shoulders, and arms were loose and fluid when he ran. Contrast that with players today, who seem really tight and stiff. I suspect that this lack of tension helped helped them maintain a better mind-body connection. This helped Brown adapt intuitively and reflexively to evade opponents, and that it helped him maintain his balance better than today's players. For me, this is such a great pleasure to watch for this reason

Home At Last, Would I be correct in thinking you are saying that weight lifting is not that good in some ways for running backs? Perhaps, all these injuries such as hamstring strains, knee injuries etc. are due to tightness from weight lifting. I say knee injuries because weight lifting puts a lot of strain on the joints.

@HomeAtLast501

Жыл бұрын

@@captainwaring Quite honestly, I wouldn't be a very good judge as to WHY there appears to be more tension in their bodies. Are you saying that guys like Brown didn't lift weights? That they didn't really do weight training back then? I have no idea. I was thinking about this purely from a psychological standpoint. It seems that society today is more driven to push us to drive to go balls-to-the-walls for any goal --- just the straight line from point A to point B. And this creates psychological tension that manifests in muscular tension. But you could be right. Also, I'm not really that into sports. I mean, I don't watch football very much anymore. But I played tennis and built up a decent club ranking (4.5 at my peak), and I have also been a runner/jogger my entire life. I went through a biking phase. And I figured out more so through my running and tennis that when I was able to keep my body relaxed --- to get rid of the muscular tension --- I got into the zone and played fare better. I could react better in-the-moment the way Brown seems to be doing. My son (now 22) was a very good athlete, and I taught him this principle for his hitting in baseball. He used to tighten his shoulders and hike them up, and I taught him to keep his shoulders and hands totally loose, and his hips too, and it improved his hitting dramatically. I noticed years ago that Tom Brady seemed totally loose. If you look at old footage of Brady his shoulders are totally dropped, and his arms hang and dangle like wet noodles. If you look at Brown you can see his shoulders and hips are loose. Now that I look at these films again, I could be wrong, please correct me if I am, but it seems like Brown is keeping his core loose and fluid. It seems that today's players have these super-tight cores, and they use that to drive their legs like pistons. Whereas Brown's entire body is fluid, and it's like energy is flowing THROUGH him.

My favorite comment was about the draft. Paul Brown wanted a QB but all the ones he wanted were gone so he had to settle for the best running back at the 6th pick. In the draft, don't overthink your pick. Especially in the first round. Take the best player available and even more so if they are at a premium position which is what running backs were in 1957. In his 9th game he ran for 237 yards which was a record which stood for 14 years and a rookie record which held for 40 years. The next year (1958) he set the record for yards rushing in a season beating the previous record by nearly 400 yards. Which was about 32 yards more per game than the record. He led the league that year for touchdowns with 17 and the next highest player had 8.

@@Drew4Two I like to see some teams that's never been there I get tired of the same old teams going to the super bowl.

I’m in my early 20’s and I love football this is my first time seeing jim brown highlights since I’ve heard so much about him…. WOW his tape is so relevant even till this days I see him doing things players can’t do today.. he’s definitely the most exciting player I’ve ever seen!

And he never missed a game which is rare for a running back also Barry sanders never missed a game

The highlights are definitely impressive but you have to consider the era he was playing in. Most defensive players had little to no form of technique to their game and relied on brute force.

Everyone is aware that he was (is) the best of the best, Jim Brown, #1, a whole lot of #2's, but only one #1, Jim Brown, RIP.......

Rip big dawg ❤😢

RIP Jim Brown, you made fall Sundays in my childhood memorable. My Dad was a Browns fan and there was no other game on the tube but a Browns game. Look, 12 games in a season for his first 4 seasons and 14 for 5 more. Outdoors, on grass fields, and your home field was Cleveland Municipal Stadium. He gained 12,312, 106 TDs, and averaged over 100 yards per game. It must have been downright scary if you were a smallish linebacker, safety, or cornerback and he broke through the line and you had to take him on, 6'2"" and 232 pound with speed, ouch!!! If I'm the Browns and have the ball on my 35 and need a first down to protect a lead, and everyone in the world knows Brown will get the ball and they still can't stop him!!! Thank you Jim for making me a lifelong fan of yours and Pro football. Peace

People forget how great he was. Great man too.

Greatest LIVING FOOTBALL PLAYER 🏈😀

Cameras back in his day were slowed, obviously, 1.25 is the closest to real time speed guys.

100 yards a game and 5 yards a carry for a career is crazy

I never get tired of watching this. G.O.A.T!

Nah it is Barry sanders

It's amazing to watch him shed blockers and continue to glide forward down the field. He was literally UNSTOPPABLE...

The greatest running back ever, in any era of the NFL! RIP Jim you will be remembered.
