Greatest Player of All Time - Jim Brown

[BVille44]

Amazing to see Jim Brown named the greatest player of all time During the halftime show of the National Championship game.

I've got to say that they must have considered pro careers in this. Jim had one great season as a senior in college and finished 6th in the Heisman. Now he's the greatest college player of all time?

God I love that. Side note how in the fluck was Ernie Davis not top 150 but Baker Mayfield is 150

How cool was that? Such a sweet plug for Syracuse. Him, Ernie and Floyd paved the way for many.

"... from Syracuse, Jim Brown!"

i think you could have argued that he was the real heisman winner that year instead of Hornung- check out his stats. The voters made interesting decisions in 1956 is one way to describe it.

I looked at his numbers and honestly I expected more. Great ypc but only 5th in heisman . Was in beyond the numbers I guess? College I mean

Jim Brown is the GOAT but Barry Sanders all the way down to 9 was you low.
What Barry did his Heisman year was just insanity.

Racism screwed Brown out of the Heisman.
Paul Hornung winning was a joke.
The late Dick Schaap gave up his Heisman ballot forever for Jim Brown being screwed out of the Heisman.

Brown should have gotten it.

Just like 1987. ND pr machine.

Just like 1987. ND pr machine.

It was worse in 1956. Notre Dame was putrid as a team.

Just like 1987. ND pr machine.

Well, not JUST like 1987. There was a dynamic at play in 1956 that was much more evil.

I agree that he should have been the Heisman winner. But he wasn't and it was just one year, not a 3 or 4 year career at that level. there's no greater Jim Brown fan than me but I'm just saying that they had to have been looking at the pro career as well to ran him #1. He's the greatest player ever to have played college football but i'm not sure that makes him the greatest college football player.

If they ever have a vote for the greatest college lacrosse players of All Time Jim will most assuredly be on the list.
