As reported by the NFL, Brown is regarded as one of the greatest NFL players ever to take the championship. After winning back in 1964, Brown was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971, winning eight first-team all-pro selections, four MVPs, and nine Pro Bowl honors during his nine seasons in the NFL. Brown retired as the league’s all-time leading rusher at 12,312 yards.
