saw him play at Yankee Stadium 1962-63---ran over the Giants all day
as an eyewitness he is the greatest football player ever
you can only measure an athlete against his peers and Brown is without a doubt the greatest football (and probably lacrosse as well) player in history

@Allistar123 So in american football its the same story as basketball , he wouldnt average that manny , he would be less dominant , today players are stronger... I dont watch american football but have you guys ever heard that people are by every generation MORE AND MORE FIZICALY WEAKER ?? Those players that played in 70's didnt take roids and artificial nutrients to maker them better or stronger , they had raw strenght ! And if played today would be just as good as aynone else or ever better .

hardy brown was a lineback dude.... And you're naming the stars.... the average linebacker now bigger than yesteryear, not by much but, Sam Huff would be lucky to make a tackle against today's players.... He just wouldn't adjust to every linemen being 300 pounds and mobile. But, today's O-line would have a harder time blocking Marchetti, or Grier because they'd have to chicken wing block them.... A wash i guess....

@ithrowtdz Yes, and Ernie Ladd was 325 lbs. Buck Buchanan was around 300. Roosevelt Grier was 285, Big Daddy Lipscombe was about 290. Roger Brown was over 300. Guys like Nitschke, Galen Fiss, Sam Huff, Butkus were all in the 220-235 range for linebackers. There were many more, but it's hard to remember them all. They were not midgets and they were not softies. And Hardy Brown was one of the meanest, toughest defensive halfbacks that ever played with that forearm shiver of his.

Or Rice or L.T. or Prime....

Brady isn't better than Montana

@Ghtthomps You're right; and don't forget, when he wasn't carrying the ball he was usually out in the flat ready to take a screen pass 60 yards.
The Greatest football player to ever lace up a pair of cleets. No one could touch then, now, or ever in the history of the game. NO ONE!

That's a moronic argument. Sooooo...Babe Ruth actually was just mediocre since he didn't play against the same athletes we have today? Jim Brown played when he played and he was head and shoulders above everyone else. Payton is debatable, Smith is debatable, Sanders is debatable but Jim Brown was the best football PLAYER of the era.
