Jim Brown is unquestionably the best player in the history of the NFL.
Best player today is probably Peyton Manning... Tomlinson and Brady are right up there.
Re: Jim Brown:
Brown was named by the Sporting News as the greatest player ever in 2002, as well as in 1999:
He departed as the NFL record holder for both single-season (1,863 in 1963) and career rushing of 12,312 yards, as well as the all-time leader in rushing touchdowns (106) and total touchdowns (126), and all-purpose yards (15,549).
He was the first player ever to reach the 100 rushing touchdowns milestone, and only a few others players have done so since then, despite the league's expansion to a 16-game regulars season in 1978 (Brown's first four seasons were only 12 games long, and his last five consisted of 14 games)
He still holds the career record for yards per carry (5.2), and total seasons leading the NFL in all-purpose yards (5: 1958-1961, 1964), and is the only rusher in NFL history to average over 100 yards per game for a career.
Brown was also a superb receiver out of the backfield, catching 262 passes for 2,499 yards and 20 touchdowns.
Every year he played, Brown was voted into the Pro Bowl, and he left the league in style by scoring three touchdowns in his final Pro Bowl game.
In all but two of his nine seasons, Brown rushed for more than 1,000 yards, and set the standard for durability by never missing a game.
In 1963, Brown carried for an unheard of 6.4 yards per carry, over 291 carries
Brown's memorable professional career led to his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971, while the The Sporting News selected him as the greatest football player of all time in 1999.
Brown also earned a spot in the Lacrosse Hall of Fame, being one the greatest in that sport as well.
Brown's football talents at Syracuse garnered him a berth in the College Football Hall of Fame, giving him a rare triple crown of sorts as well as being one of the few athletes to be a Hall of Fame member in more than one sport.
