ICYMI: Legendary Auburn running back Lionel ‘Little Train’ James died at age 59.
“Lionel James defined Auburn football for a generation,” former Auburn sports information director and athletics director David Housel said.
A fan favorite during and well after his time on the Plains, James was a team captain in 1983 and helped lead Auburn to its first SEC championship in 26 seasons. The 171-pounder was part of a backfield triumvirate that also included Auburn legends Bo Jackson and Tommie Agee. A native of Albany, Ga., James was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 2006. Auburn’s A-Day offensive MVP award was permanently named after him in 1987
He finished his NFL career with 1,061 rushing yards and 2,278 receiving yards, with 16 career touchdowns, including two on punt returns.
