Marion Motley Autographs
Marion Motley was an American football player who is widely regarded as one of the greatest to have ever played the game. Born on June 5, 1920 in Leesburg, Georgia, Motley grew up in Canton, Ohio where he excelled in both football and track. At 6’1” and weighing 232 pounds, he was an imposing figure on the field.
Motley made history when he became the first African American to compete in a professional football game in 1946. He played for the Cleveland Browns for nine seasons, helping the team win four All-America Football Conference championships and two NFL championships. Motley was known for his speed, strength, and agility as a running back and fullback, and was also a formidable defensive player.
Motley retired from football in 1955, but continued to be a trailblazer in other areas of his life. He became the first African American to serve as a Cleveland city councilman in 1966, advocating for social justice and equality. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1968, and remained a respected figure in both football and civil rights until his death in 1999.
