Jim Brown

James Nathaniel Brown. . .Syracuse All-America, 1956. . . Browns' No. 1 draft pick, 1957. . .Awesome runner, led NFL rushers eight years. . .All-NFL eight of nine years. . .NFL's Most Valuable Player, 1958, 1965. . . Rookie of the Year, 1957. . . Played in nine straight Pro Bowls. . .Career marks: 12,312 yards rushing, 262 receptions, 15,459 combined net yards, 756 points scored.

He gained more yards in fewer games and season than any other running back, didn't miss a game due in injuries.

He was the biggest man on the field, 90% of the time that he played. Linebackers weighed 200 pounds, Jim Brown weighed 230. I would put him in the top 50 for sure.

Lot of voters are probably too young to have seen Jim Brown...He only played nine years with much shorter schedule...Would have had better stats if he stayed around.

jim brown crushed defenses in his time without even using the equiptment the team provided, and the equiptment back then was no where as up to par as the equiptment is today. And Jim Brown still didn't miss not one game due to injury.

Check out the documentary of Jim Brown and that may make you change your list around a little. This guy is just simply amazing tough hardcore unbelivable when it comes to running backs.

come on jim brown scored 129 touchdowns in 126 games 3 passing 106 rushing and 20 receiving

got 1863 yards in only 14 games. thats more than runningbacks get in most 16 game seasons

toughest back ever! most yards in fewest games! that says something.
if he had more touches he would have the most yds ever

Second to none!

How can Jim Brown be under number one? At least the other RBs on this list had the forward pass give the impression they might not hand it off what do you know about 10 man fronts?

There has never been a football player that dominated football like Jim Brown

Jim Brown is 1-10, and Emmitt Smith is 11th

Simply a punishing back that finished off every run. Plus at over 70 years of age now, he still looks like he could strap a helmet on and run over DBS and LBs.
