The Syracuse Orange and the number 44 are synonymous and a lot of that is due to the career of Jim Brown.
Brown passed away on May 18th at the age of 87, the same date as the man who followed him at Syracuse, Ernie Davis. He leaves a legacy that features a lot of incredible accomplishments. (Along with acts that frankly are inexcusable. I’m going to acknowledge that, but not dwell on them).
Legend. Icon. 44.
There will be only one Jim Brown. We're saddened to have lost the greatest of all time today.
