Jim Brown (born February 17, 1936) is an American former professional football player who was a running back for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL) from 1957 through 1965. Considered to be one of the greatest professional football players of all time, Brown was a Pro Bowl invitee every season he was in the league, was recognized as the AP NFL Most Valuable Player three times, and won an NFL championship with the Browns in 1964. He led the league in rushing yards in eight out of his nine seasons, and by the time he retired, he had shattered most major rushing records. In 2002, he was named by The Sporting News as the greatest professional football player ever.

Brown was born in St. Simons Island, Georgia, and grew up in Manhasset, New York. He played college football at Syracuse University, where he was a two-time All-American. He led the nation in rushing and scoring his senior year and was the sixth overall pick in the 1957 NFL Draft.

Brown began his NFL career with the Cleveland Browns in 1957. He quickly became a star, leading the league in rushing his rookie year and being named the NFL Rookie of the Year. He continued to be a dominant force on the Browns’ offense, leading the league in rushing eight times in his nine-year career. He was also a versatile player, catching passes out of the backfield and even throwing touchdown passes on occasion. Brown’s greatest season came in 1963, when he rushed for 1,863 yards and scored 21 touchdowns. He was named the NFL MVP that year and led the Browns to a championship.

After nine seasons with the Browns, Brown retired from football in 1966 to pursue a career in acting. He appeared in a number of films over the next few years, including The Dirty Dozen and The Running Man. He also starred in a short-lived television series called The Jim Brown Show. In recent years, Brown has been active in philanthropy and has served as a mentor to young athletes.

Brown’s net worth is estimated to be around $50 million. He has been married twice and has four children.

Great seeing you man.
