One of the all-time greats and made it to 87. That's a good run.

Lead the NFL in rushing 8 out of his 9 years. Never missed a game due to injury. Also considered the greatest lacrosse player ever.

Worst case of a stolen Heisman in history.

rip Jim Brown

Paul Hornung won the Heisman while quarterbacking Notre Dame to a 2-8 record, throwing three touchdowns to go against 13 interceptions. Biggest sham ever

Nope, wrong year. Crow was after Jim had already graduated and gone. Brown lost being 5th in 56, with a ND QB winning. Johnny Majors at Tennessee finished 2nd.

Jim Brown won me my first football bet.
I was in high school and I had never bet on a football game when a friend offer me seven points if I took the browns.
I was naive enough to take the bet, I think the line was like 14 but I figured, Runnng Back named Brown, Coach named Brown, Team named Browns. And I get seven points.
Jim Brown blew them out.

Not even in college. Walker put up bigger college numbers, because the game was different. . .and letting a black man run up stats on anyone was a good way to get yourself killed.
Syracuse also never played more than 8 games a year.
He averaged 6.2 yards per carry, his SR year though. . .and 5.8 yards per carry for his college career.
What he did in 9 years in the NFL was amazing:
-Never missed a game 118 started of 118 games
-2359 carries for 12,312 yards and 106 TDs
-5.2 YPC FOR HIS CAREER
-104.3 YPG FOR HIS CAREER
-NFL only played 12 games for half his career, 14 the other half.

My post was sarcasm since Jim Brown didn't play in the SEC, but someone still decided to post a non SEC topic to the SEC board.

Majors finished second but always maintained Brown was robbed not him. Brown only finished 5th because he was black and Majors was one of the few white public figures who would say that (especially back then).
Johnny was a triple threat player (passing, running and kicking) AND played safety on a team that averaged giving up only 7.5 points per game. He did it all and should definitely have won over Hornung but Majors also felt Jim Brown should've won that year.

Who won it?
People today don't believe this but there was a REAL bias and Notre Dame owned it. Paul Hornung won the heisman on a 2-8 team and he had horrible stats. It hit close to home in 1966 and 1977. Ara said after the tie in 1966 with Mich St that he knew Notre Dame would win the title with a tie when Bama went unbeaten. At the time there was no regionally equal voting and the national title was decided after the regular season. The voters were mainly sportwriters from the midwest/northeast and Notre Dame was gonna get every benefit of the doubt. After the 1977 fiasco the votes were more evenly distributed by region. Notre Dame has won one title since that happened (1988). I respected Ara and he was a great coach but to sit there in Jan 2013 and watch his reaction to ND gettting blown out as ND didn't have voters in their pocket was priceless. The ND mystique was dead.
Jim Brown should have walked away with the heisman.

The BEST ever RB in the NFL and arguably the best ever player in the NFL.
Period.
Period.
