Jim Taylor, hard-running Hall of Fame fullback for Green Bay Packers, dies at 83


Mr. Taylor played during the great Packer dynasty and was the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1962. Mr. Taylor was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1976. The 6-foot, 216-pound Mr. Taylor best exemplified the play’s punishing effectiveness, as a workhorse always charging forward, dragging would-be tacklers along. In 1960, Mr. Taylor ran for 1,101 yards, topping Tony Canadeo’s franchise mark of 1,052 yards in 1949. Wherever Taylor went, Huff went with him,” Kramer told the Associated Press in 2008.
