One of the original, great American football players and the first of the Lombardi Green Bay Packers to have been inducted in the Football Hall of Fame. Playing from 1958-1966, his record for yards rushing stood for over 4 decades. The dedication article at the Green Bay Packer's website at the link below had a great quote that summed up the game play back in those days and how Taylor dominated:
"Taylor ran with a football as though he was hell-bent on turning each and every game into a human demolition derby. There was nothing fancy or pretty about his style. He ran with ferocity. He ran with power. He ran with grit. Bottom line: He played like a man possessed, a throwback to the days when football more closely resembled trench warfare and the sole mission of each player was to seemingly dish out more punishment than he took." Jim Taylor Dies at Age 83
