JIM BROWN

paper upon which had been typed: "Jim Brown/From Small Town/To The Grid
Iron/To The History Books/To Immortality/With Humility-An Example To Us
All". A first team All American fullback at Syracuse, Brown 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 2002, Sporting
News named Brown the greatest professional football player of thd 20th
century. 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. Slightly creased. Fine condition.
