CBS Sports recently took a look at 10 all-time athletes who called it quits too early, and former Syracuse football star Jim Brown is on the list.

Jim Brown starred in four sports on the Hill, including Syracuse football, before going on to play in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns from 1957 to 1965, during which time he scored 106 touchdowns, per his bio on cuse.com.

For his spectacular athletic achievements, Brown got inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971 and into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1995.
