As if there would be any doubt who belongs as the inaugural member of the NFL’s All-Time team. Of course, it’s Browns legend Jim Brown!
NFL Network will reveal the running back class for the All-Time Team on Friday night, but they whetted fans’ appetite by releasing one of the player choices early.
NFL.com opined on why it had to be No. 32 in orange, brown and white:
When he retired after nine seasons, Brown owned the single-season and career rushing records, and he was the all-time leader in rushing touchdowns (106), total touchdowns (126) and all-purpose yards (15,549). Ninety-nine other players will join Brown on the all-time team, but none of them may loom as large in NFL history as Brown does.
He has epitomized greatness for over 60 years. Congrats to Brown on being the worthy first legend of the game honored as a member of the NFL 100 All-Time Team.
