Jim Brown Jim Brown was a transcendent force at running back, dominating the NFL during his nine-season career with the Cleveland Browns from 1957 to 1965. Despite retiring early at age 30, he left as the league’s all-time leading rusher—a record that stood for over two decades. Brown rushed for 12,312 yards and 106 touchdowns, averaging a remarkable 5.2 yards per carry. A three-time MVP and eight-time First-Team All-Pro, he led the league in rushing eight times. Known for his power, speed, and elusiveness, Brown was equally effective in blocking and receiving. He won a championship in 1964 and never missed a game due to injury. Beyond football, Brown became a civil rights activist and actor, using his platform for social change. His combination of athletic dominance and cultural impact makes him one of the most influential figures in sports history.
