1998 Jim Brown

In what may have been his greatest game, Jim Brown ran through, over and around TCU defenders in the 1957 Classic. He rallied Syracuse from an early 14-0 deficit, then fueled another fierce comeback in the fourth quarter. Brown was simply unstoppable, scoring three times on runs of one, two and four yards and rushed for 132 yards. He also booted three PATs and recorded five tackles. Brown's extraordinary performance in his final college game proved to be a defining moment and launched one of the most prolific and storied careers in NFL history. Was he the greatest running back ever? The experts agree, the measuring stick begins with Jim Brown.
