Jim Brown, who died last week at age 87, is the greatest running back I’ve ever seen. All of his contemporaries in key positions in football and other major U.S. team sports whom I once regarded as the best I ever saw have, in my opinion, been surpassed — albeit with help of steroids in some cases. Brown has not been.
