He ran for 237 yards twice in a game, scored five touchdowns once, and scored four touchdowns four times. He carried for more over 1,000 yards seven times, averaging 1,527 yards in a 12-game season and 1,863 yards in a 14-game season. He also caught 63 passes for 910 yards and nine scores. Brown became the first player to score multiple touchdown runs of at least 100 yards in a game when he did so against Pittsburgh on October 4, 1960. The last player to do so was former Cleveland Browns teammate Rocky Bleier in 1985. A running back has never won the Heisman Trophy, but if voting were based on actual performances on the field then Brown would be a strong candidate. He led the American Football League in scoring three years in a row (1958-60), earned All-American honors each year from at least one publication, and was named the AFL's Most Valuable Player in 1959 and 1960. His overall record was 72-40-2, with a.583 winning percentage. In addition to playing football, Brown also played baseball and basketball at Ohio State. He began his college career as a pitcher before moving to center field as a sophomore. At 6' 3", 215 pounds, he was a powerful hitter who batted.443 in his final season at Ohio State.
