JIM BROWN
Rookie of the year in 1957 Jim Brown running with the ball
Book photograph signed: "Jim Brown". B/w, 5x8. A first team All American fullback at
Syracuse, Brown (1936-2023) was the NFL's Rookie of the Year in 1957. In nine
remarkable NFL seasons, Brown averaged 104 yards per game, a record 5.2 yards per
rushing carry, and never missed a game! He rushed for over 1,000 yards in seven seasons, at
a time when the NFL season was only 12, and then 14 games long. In 1966, Brown retired
from football at the top of his game to pursue a movie career. While his acting skills never
matched his football prowess, Brown performed credibly in such films as Ice Station Zebra
(1968), 100 Rifles (1969) and Original Gangstas (1996). A community activist, Brown has
worked to promote black-owned businesses, to equip ex-convicts with job skills, and to
mediate disputes among rival youth gangs. In 2002, The Sporting News named Brown the
greatest pro football player of the 20th century. Toned. Top left corner creased. Otherwise
fine condition.
