Bobby Mitchell passes away at age 84 (1 Viewer)

I'm watching ESPN, and they just mentioned that one of the greatest wide receivers of All-Time, Bobby Mitchell, has died at the age of 84.  He is a member of the Cleveland Browns Ring of Honor as well as the Washington Redskins Ring of Honor.  For his career, he caught 521 passes for 7,955 yards and 65 touchdowns.  He also rushed for 2,735 yards and 18 touchdowns while also returning 8 kicks or punts for touchdowns.  He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1983.  He will be missed.  For those of you that are old enough to remember watching him play, what will be your favorite memory of Bobby Mitchell?

Thanks for noting, I can't claim to have watched him obviously but I do know he had a 99 yard TD reception and a 90 yard TD run and I'm guessing the RBs or WRs with both those stats is probably a really, really short list.

That record run lasted for the Browns until this year.
