In 1957, Brown was selected to join the Cleveland Brown squad and immediately joined the team’s training camp. Despite most professional football players taking the time to adjust the high level of play of the NFL, Brown quickly adjusted and made his presence felt. This showed another important quality of coach ability that Jim Brown possessed. Jim got better each game, day, week and season. His ability to be receptive to instruction, taking criticism and challenges to improve was outstanding. In 1958, Brown won the rushing title for the 1,527 yards he ran and tied the single touchdown record with 18. As years went by, Jim continued the onslaught, rushing on the ground and catching long passes into the end zone as teams watched. Between 1958
Tom brady has more touchdowns than Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman Combined. Tom brady has won the super bowl 4x and he has more playoff wins than 21 other franchises. He owns the playoffs with multiple passing and wins records. He is about to pass Brett favre on the all time wins list and he’s in the top 5 of almost all passing categories. I think Tom brady is better than any other quarterback in history.
The career of Ben Roethlisberger 35, has been a journey to say the least. He entered the league out of Miami, OH as the eleventh pick in the 2004 NFL draft. He was not lauded like the two quarterbacks drafted before him. Eli Manning 36, who was drafted with the first overall pick by the San Diego Chargers, but traded to the New York Giants. The Giants who have won two super bowls with Manning one in 2008 and the other in 2012 won’t complain at all for the small amount they had to trade to acquire Manning. They traded Phillip Rivers 35, who was drafted with the fourth overall pick that same year, a third-round pick in 2004 which turned into Nate Kaeding, a 2005 first rounded pick which turned into Shawne Merriman, and a 2005 fifth round pick

The total was 1,417 yards for the year. That was a citywide record. (Net Industries, 2017)

As Seattle’s star running back, Marshawn Lynch had his fair share of media time. Also followed through his early years of football, Lynch had a love-hate relationship with the media. He hated the time he had to spend with them; they loved every second of coverage they could share with the public. The interview that was observed was Lynch’s Super Bowl XLIX where Lynch gave one of the most memorable interactions that fans had ever witnessed. Prior to this encounter, Lynch had been fined thousands of dollars for failing to show up for a media day. As Lynch arrived for the Super Bowl interview, he instantly pulled out his phone and started a timer. He warned the media that he had to be there for only four minutes and fifty-one seconds and that

What a glorious year it was in 2002. There were many memorable moments that season. There was Ronde Barber’s game sealing INT against the Eagles to send us to the Super Bowl, or how about the Bucs completely picking apart the Raiders in an unforgettable Super Bowl for all Bucs fans. Who was the architect to that glorious year? Jon Gruden. Forget those that say, “Oh well that was Dungy’s team.” Perhaps, and no disrespect to Dungy, but did he get them to the Big Dance? Gruden was the guy that got the Bucs their first Lombardi, and to that we owe him endless thanks.
Football Quarterback Ryan Buchanan starts to use 3D virtual reality to train. He uses the game add-on Oculus Rift to generate a virtual football game to practice on. He can quickly go through different plays and correct his mistakes with passes. If he throws a pass to the wrong person or makes the wrong decision, the game informs him that he has made a mistake. He said that ”It was like going into the future at a football game he wasn’t really at. Something you would see on TV.” The new offseason program now includes 10 tests on the simulator. Each one of these tests includes 20 plays. People and players are hoping this will be the future of training for offseason
The great phenomenon known as the NFL actually started over a soccer game. In 1869, Rutgers and Princeton played a college soccer football game, which was the first of its kind, it took place November 6. The game itself used modified London Football Association rules, which were rules for soccer (USA soccer, everyone else Football.) And after that game was played, over the next 7 years, rugby began to capture the eye of many, and modern football began to start its development from rugby. This isn’t how American football was official started or anything, but it gives a background as to what it was derived from, and how they got the idea. And to make a point here really quick, it was not called the NFL until a later date.
The great Green Bay Packer coach Vince Lombardi said, “The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary”(Brainyquote). Success is a moment that must be worked for first. It takes a lot of work to be an NFL running back. The mixture of blood, sweat, tears, hard work, passion, pain, adversity, and a love for the game is the combination necessary to have a career as an NFL running back.
Terrell Suggs tore his Achilles for the second time in his career on Sunday; I think this is the most devastating loss for any team because the identity of the ravens is their defense and they just lost their best player and vocal leader on the defense. It's going to be tough for the ravens to withstand this loss for an entire season because the only pass rusher they currently have is Elvis Dumervil and in the NFL you need a Robin to go with your Batman! The Ravens identity is their defense especially now without weapons on the outside other than Steve Smith it could be a long year for the ravens but it is only week one and they could surprise by its stifling going to be more difficult.
