In a ten year NFL career (nine spent with the Green Bay Packers), Taylor put up some impressive statistics.
Did you know.......that Jim Taylor topped Jim Brown for rushing in 1962, the only year that Brown did not lead the league in rushing between 1957 and 1965? Jim was commemorated in ESPN's film "Tough Guys of thge NFL."

- Packers career rushing yards leader (at the time of this writing)
- 5 time Pro-Bowler
- 6 time All-Pro
- 19 rushing touchdowns in 1962

Remembered mainly for his nine years with the Packers, with what NFL franchise did Taylor finish his pro career?

- #31 current Bulldogs Ricky Jones (Sr tight end from Sweeny, TX); Ephraim Kitchen (3 star freshman cornerback from Batesville, MS)

New Orleans Saints.
GOOD JOB!! Jim Taylor, from Baton Rouge, played his final NFL season with the Saints in their first season, 1967.
31 the number of games Denny McLain won in 1968. The last guy to win 30 or more games.
AWESOME work!! Detroit won game 7 of the 68 World Series against the Cardinals, coming from a 3 games to 1 deficit, with my ALL TIME personal favorite playuer, Al Kaline!! Tigers were my favorite team as a kid along with the Cubs. I got to see two games in the late 70's in old Tiger Stadium, including a nationally televised game against the Yankees in which Mark "THE BIRD" Fidrych pitched. Good job, Houston.
I believe Mickey Lolich won the other three games for Detroit in that World Series.

#29 SATCHEL PAIGE, baseball legend and hall of famer. Paige (July 7, 1906 – June 8, 1982) was an American Negro league baseball and Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher who became a legend in his own lifetime by attracting record crowds wherever he pitched.Paige was a right-handed pitcher, and at age 42 in 1948, he was the oldest major league rookie while playing for the Cleveland Indians. He played with the St. Louis Browns until age 47, and represented them in the All-Star Game in 1952 and 1953. He was the first player who had played in the Negro leagues to pitch in the World Series, in 1948, and was the first player from the Negro leagues to be inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, in 1971. Joe DiMaggio called Satchel Paige "the best and fastest pitcher I've ever faced". His pitching was amazing and his showboating was legendary. His career highlights span five decades. Pronounced the greatest pitcher in the history of the Negro Leagues.
PAIGE IS MAYBE THE MOST QUOTABLE ATHLETE EVER.
- "Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter."
- "Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching."
#29 BULLDOG SENIOR LINEBACKER C.J. CLEVELAND: Responsible for 42 total tackles (26 solo, 16 assisted) on the season with a solo tackle for a loss of one yards while also being credited with a QB hurry in 12 games played.

- "It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
