Brown, who was selected in the first round of the 1957 draft, played nine seasons for the Cleveland Browns (1957-65) and led the league in rushing eight of those years. He rushed for 12,312 yards and held a 5.2 yards per carry average over his career. He also was named a Pro Bowler every year he played. He led the Browns to the league championship three times, winning the title in 1964, and was named MVP three times.

He ran for at least 100 yards in 58 of his 118 regular-season games, never missing a game. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards in seven seasons, including 1,527 yards in one 12-game season and 1,863 in a 14-game season.

There was a story going around that he bit a guys finger off. The ref asked him "what did you do that for?"

Jim replied "everything on that side of the mask belongs to him. Everything on this side of the mask belongs to me."

I have talked about it on here over the years. Jim was a very close friend of mine. He was probably the smartest person I have ever known

First thing I thought about after I heard he passed was I'm Gonna Get You Sucka. Quickly followed by remembering he was in the Six Degrees of Seperation-Pork Edition. Losing friends sucks. Sorry.
