Two very different styles. Barry's bread and butter was making the opposing player miss. Jim Brown just ran over people. Violently.
A prominent civil rights activist as long as you weren’t a woman
Brown was 6’2/230 and was the fastest player in the league of mainly white players. 230 was DE’s. Imagine if Myles Garrett ran a 4.25, with elite agility, played RB and you took out every black LB and DB. That’s essentially what Brown was.
What does the color of the player have to do with anything? Big, fast MFer is a big fast MFer regardless of skin pigment.
Because the nfl had limits on the amount of black players in the league so he wasn’t playing against the best competition (yes I understand the irony). Hell Washington hadn’t even integrated the team in the middle of his career. I was providing context for how dominant Brown was.
