Gale Sayers, 7x All-Pro, passed today at 77.
My memory of him is of his highlight film, which he was amazing and of course the film Brian's Song which depicted his character.
RIP

Sayers showed everybody that a player can be great in his first year....

I remember reading I Am Third in grade school. I probably got it from the bookmobile after seeing Brian’s Song on TV.

Before my time but I've seen highlights.
I remember when they were saying Reggie Bush was the next Gale Sayers.

Great player for sure. The old films with the way the were produced accentuated his already fluid style with his graceful strides.
Loved those NFL films

I learned Sayers earned All-Pro in his first 5 years in the league. The only other player to achieve that was LT who did it his first 6.

I'm old enough to have seen a lot of Gale Sayers and he was always amazing...
