All-time NFL great Jim Brown has passed away.
According to breaking news reports, the Pro Football Hall of Famer died on Thursday, May 18. Brown will go down in history as one of the greatest running backs of all time.
According to Fox 8, Brown’s family revealed “he passed away peacefully in his Los Angeles home on Thursday night with his wife, Monique, by his side,” a spokeswoman shared. Brown was 87 years old.
Brown’s NFL career lasted from 1957-65. During that time he broke countless records and was the league’s Most Valuable Player in his final year, 1965.
After ending his career as a running back Brown became a civil rights activist and rather successful actor.
It’s unclear if Brown was ill before his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Brown family during this particularly difficult time.
