As far as I'm concerned, he was the greatest football player of all time. Hands down. He was a man amongst boys in a time when all 11 defenders were focused on stopping him, in extremely violent ways. And yet he persevered to a level of greatness that has never been equaled. Off the field, he was an even greater being.
The world needs more people like Jim Brown, and he will forever be missed.
Jim Brown was a legend on the football field and has a strong argument for being one of the greatest of all time. However...
I would stop short of saying he was a great person off the field and that we need more people like him. He had a horrific history of beating several women (and men) over the course of three decades, including multiple rape accusations.
Absolutely legendary football player and deserving of all praise coming towards his way. A deplorable man off the field.
