He chose  an acting career over finishing his NFL career. 

He was a very controversial man.

It is laughable to watch videos of him rolling over defenders. 1,000 yards in seven seasons,  How many running backs live to see 87? RIP does not apply to this great athlete. He never did it when he played. A tribute to his race.

He chose to leave by his terms.

May God bless your family & friends with lots of wonderful memories of time spent with you.

My condolences to his family and friends.

I too think he's the greatest rb  ever.

 

What other rb's you liked that ran similar to the great Jim Brown?
