A look back on the life and legacy of NFL running back Jim Brown, widely considered one of the greatest players in history who was later a leading voice on civil rights issues
By Andrew BeatonJim Brown, a legendary running back for the Cleveland Browns who was later a leading voice on civil rights issues even as he faced legal troubles off the field, died at 87.Brown is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in National Football League history. He spent his entire career from 1957 to 1965 with the Cleveland Browns, winning multiple Most Valuable Player awards and one championship.
When he stunned the football world by retiring before the 1966 season to star in movies, he was still at the top of the game: He had just led the league in rushing yards for three consecutive seasons and won MVP again. He later appeared in “100 Rifles” with Burt Reynolds and Raquel Welch, which was noted at the time for featuring an interracial love scene between Welch and Brown.
