The Cleveland Browns organization was recently dealt a tremendous blow with the passing of NFL great Jim Brown. Widely regarded as the best running back ever to play football, and often even as the greatest player of all time, he continued to impact the franchise—even through a transition when the original organization uprooted—long after his nine-year career.
Indeed, he even had some input in this current Browns team. The organization sought out his input during the 2018 NFL Draft when they were high on running back Nick Chubb. As the story goes, Brown gave his emphatic approval after watching film the team sent over to him.
