Putting the career of Jim Brown into perspective is almost impossible to do. The videos are impressive. The stories are amazing. The stats are almost unbelievable.
Saturday, we got an in-depth look at the story of Brown and the Cleveland Browns from start to finish. For some, we got another reason to not think so highly of Art Modell.
For more modern fans, Brown is just a legend, someone they never got to see live with their own eyes. Instead, players like Earnest Byner, Kevin Mack, Greg Pruitt, Eric Metcalf and Mike Pruitt from before Modell’s final betrayal and the likes of Jamal Lewis, William Green, Isaiah Crowell, Peyton Hillis, Jerome Harrison and Kareem Hunt since “The Return” all represent the top running backs we’ve seen recently.
