Wow, I'm so glad Bo picked both sports and we got to see this man show off his incredible talents. What I like most about Bo? Here is a man, that's probably the greatest athlete ever, and he was humble and kind. I think, for those who know him as a friend, probably say he is a great friend. Thanks for the memories Bo, we appreciate you as an athlete and as a good person.
I've seen some great athletes play in person but what a privilege to have seen America's greatest play in person. Bo is truly something we may never see again.
@mikem987: Football is what took him out of both sports... It would have been impossible for him to sustain the same injury if he had just stuck with baseball. Regardless, Bo is still a legend... We'll be hard pressed to see anyone like him again.
1:11 Deion Sanders being stiff armed to the ground if you haven't seen the clip before. He did an interview about this play. Only person who could have kept up with Bo speed wise during those days
He was and is the greatest athlete I ever saw. Even to this day. I can't tell you if there's another person that had the combination of size, speed, quickness was just incredible. Every time he touched the ball, swung the bat or three the baseball something special could have happened.
The greatest to ever play.. The last 20 secs of this literally brings a tear to my eye, every time I see that tackle I cringe.. The NFL rushing record would definatley belong to Bo had he not got hurt.. NUFF SAID!
Raider Joe Imagine a person who owned the all-time rushing yards, tds, etc. Plus numbers like someone like Micky Mantle!! The debate is OVER who the greatest athlete who ever walked planet earth.
i scrolled down as soon as i saw it was vs the bengals and bo was running screen left to right.. all these years and i still cant bear to watch it again.. it's still like superman dying, to me.. glad he's doing well since then
Raider Joe Given the yardage he gained during his pro career, compared to that achieved at the same stage by Jim Brown and many others, the answer has to be no, Bo Jackson would not have set those records. He was a great running back, and he would have racked up bigger seasons had he not been forced to share game time with Marcus Allen, but the gap is still there.
Henry Steel Bo Jackson could do things on a baseball field that were amazing. But he was never in the class of Mantle, Mays, Aaron or Clemente, to name a few. The guy was a .250 hitter with a ton of strikeouts. Spectacular at times, yes. Immortal, hardly.
Bo said in a recent interview that he had decided, after discussing the situation with his wife, that he was going to just play that one more season in the NFL anyway. So injury or not, he was determined to leave the NFL. But while he was playing, he was the most incredible athlete we've seen.
One thing though... If we're being honest, Bosworth didn't stop Bo, but he didn't bounce off him either like so many others did. (And, no, I am not from Oklahoma.)
Did I hear that guy from the Heisman award ceremony say that Bo won the award "in the closest vote in history" ? I would absolutely LOVE to know who DIDN'T vote for Bo, to shame them for all eternity!😁
@mmcneil777 It could also be argued that if he never played football, he may have gone to the Baseball HoF. He was just that good... He paved the way for Deion, Brian jordan, and Michael Jordan to all try their hand at two sports. An athlete like no other.
Guy was an amazing baseball player, but could have be the best ever as a Running Back. He was like Michael Jordan on the football field. Wish he'd just focused on football. It might of prolonged his career. High praise from Michael Jordan.
Man I would have hated to play against Bo. Just knowing you couldn't do much had to be very defeating. Just like running track between 2007 and 2017 you just knew there was no beating Usain Bolt!
Yeah but football got Jackson hurt. Which REALLY REALLY hurt the Royals organization back in Kansas City.. But can somebody update me on how the Kansas City Chiefs missed out on Bo..
logant44 Ah if only Sanders would have made tackles, but he simply was too afraid of getting hurt. It's too bad bc of this, kids looked up to him and played like him, and I noticed after that, defensive backs didn't want to make tackles. What a shame. He was a great athlete though, but he was no Bo Jackson.
Herschel Walker did something Bo could not do, led his team to a National Title and Bo had way more help. Both incredible athletes. Give me Bo on a baseball field but sorry, Herschel was the best running back I have ever seen. And I am in no way a Georgia fan. Look at Herschel today, still has the build of a greek god and I know he was MMA fighting til 53 at least. Bo is well.....fat.
Walker was the man. The only thing about him is that he spent some very important years in the usfl and of course that Vikings trade that will taint his legacy.
Deion Sanders is number one lasted longer bo has to be number two 3 is mj even if bo never got hurt doubt he would of put up better numbers then prime time over a 12 years career in both sports are you girls forgetting deion Sanders only human to win super bowl and a world series starting on both teams ✋
Deion was never an all star in baseball. Bo was an all star and pro bowler. Meaning, he was one of the very best players in the league in two sports at the same time.
@@Amzingred who are you ? Don't open up your mouth unless you know what the hell your talking about Every one. Online type in deion Sanders baseball all star game 😀 rest my case you must cant read and don't know how to research look words up
Bo Jackson did some spectacular things on the baseball field, but baseball has a looooooong season, and consistency is the key to being great. Bo was not a consistent ball player.
I feel honored to have watched him play!

BO Jackson is the only athlete I can remember that was
as popular as Jordan growing up. the Bo Knows campaign
was EXTREMELY popular.
Bo is the truth for us that actually saw him play real time!
I've seen some great athletes play in person but what a privilege to have seen America's greatest play in person. Bo is truly something we may never see again.
@mikem987: Football is what took him out of both sports... It would have been impossible for him to sustain the same injury if he had just stuck with baseball.

How lucky were we to be able to see Bo Jackson and Micheal Jordan... It’s to hard to describe it to my son.

The Greatest Athlete of all Time, no doubt. I loved watching him play.
Thorpe destroys Bo's accomplishments.
Could u imagine him with Dallas when they had the great line??
He would have gotten 3 thousand yards
oh i hate auburn but oh i love that man. hurt so bad to see him put out. thanks for posting this.
The man could make a cut and still be moving the same speed. Unreal.
Jack Young right? Like a rabbit. A 245 lb rabbit.
The greatest to ever play.. The last 20 secs of this literally brings a tear to my eye, every time I see that tackle I cringe.. The NFL rushing record would definatley belong to Bo had he not got hurt.. NUFF SAID!

Completely agree
Legend.
The 4 most naturally gifted athletes of the 20th century were Bo, Wilt, Babe, and Thorpe.
When I saw Bo get hurt I cried, I was 5 at the time and I yelled dad Bo got hurt
Bo said in a recent interview that he had decided, after discussing the situation with his wife, that he was going to just play that one more season in the NFL anyway. So injury or not, he was determined to leave the NFL. But while he was playing, he was the most incredible athlete we've seen.
He really was unbelievable.
One thing though... If we're being honest, Bosworth didn't stop Bo, but he didn't bounce off him either like so many others did. (And, no, I am not from Oklahoma.)
He did kind of catch boz flat footed and not strait on.
Bo is the man
Did I hear that guy from the Heisman award ceremony say that Bo won the award "in the closest vote in history" ?
I would absolutely LOVE to know who DIDN'T vote for Bo, to shame them for all eternity!😁
Just like how ESPN voted him #8 all time in the top 25 NCAA players in history. Who in the bajesus are the 7 who came before him?
He reminds me of me when I played
lol. me too, he's a little slower than i was then again i was 6'7'',145, used to call me crazy legs.
i like bo heck of an athlete
@mmcneil777 It could also be argued that if he never played football, he may have gone to the Baseball HoF. He was just that good... He paved the way for Deion, Brian jordan, and Michael Jordan to all try their hand at two sports.
An athlete like no other.
well really Deion was the only one that could play two successfully besides Bo, and Deion said, 'Plus Bo could hit a curve ball, i couldnt".
Guy was an amazing baseball player, but could have be the best ever as a Running Back. He was like Michael Jordan on the football field. Wish he'd just focused on football. It might of prolonged his career. High praise from Michael Jordan.
mikem987 he could also havv been the best ever n baseball AND track & field
Damn if only they'd known it severed that artery.
i remember hearing that he didn't even practice for football after high school, not that he was lazy, it was that he just didn't need to. I dunno
That stiff arm at 5:41....#41 really thought he had a chance! lol
1:11 /8:44 Is the play were Deion Sanders talked about Bo Jackson face masking him to the ground.
Primetime told the truth about that one.
Bo Jackson, Jim Thorpe. Wow, who do you pick??? Amazing athlete's!!!
Thorpe easily he did twice as much as Bo.
'Auburn People'
Man I would have hated to play against Bo. Just knowing you couldn't do much had to be very defeating. Just like running track between 2007 and 2017 you just knew there was no beating Usain Bolt!
stiff armed deion sanders 1:13 so nasty!!!
And from them one Deion refused to attempt to tackle anybody.
Had to stop it on the injury play.
And no steroids!
Curtis Davies and what do steroids got to do with any of this?
@@hlspraying7614 smh lol 😂😂😂😂
Tyler Chambers what are you crying about?
bo had some highlights but I'd suggest ppl go back and look at his yearly stats in football and his avg per run..I'm going with primetime
Yeah but football got Jackson hurt. Which REALLY REALLY hurt the Royals organization back in Kansas City..
But can somebody update me on how the Kansas City Chiefs missed out on Bo..
Is BO really Keith Jackson's SON ?????? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Achilles
Boz actually made a really good tackle on the goal line play. Bo ran over most guys.
@wiktjester bo was an incredible running back.
But..no one touches Sanders.
logant44 Ah if only Sanders would have made tackles, but he simply was too afraid of getting hurt. It's too bad bc of this, kids looked up to him and played like him, and I noticed after that, defensive backs didn't want to make tackles. What a shame. He was a great athlete though, but he was no Bo Jackson.
He was talking about barry sanders not deion sanders
BreuckelensFinest Barry Sanders not deion sanders Barry was my favorite after Bo
@@pierrevelez1646 problem is Barry lost more yards than any running back in history.
@@smithnwesson990 but if he didnt retire in his prime he would still have the most yards in history and what if he had Emmetts O line
Herschel Walker did something Bo could not do, led his team to a National Title and Bo had way more help. Both incredible athletes.

Herschel, although a great athlete, was not athlete Bo was. Bo did not even have to work out or practice.
Walker was the man. The only thing about him is that he spent some very important years in the usfl and of course that Vikings trade that will taint his legacy.

@@mikejones5525 uh...no. Deion never made it/voted into an all star baseball game. Sorry dude.
Bo was at another level, sorry Deion.
Bo Jackson did some spectacular things on the baseball field, but baseball has a looooooong season, and consistency is the key to being great. Bo was not a consistent ball player.
He was really average😳😬🙊...😏
I still refuse to watch that career ending video. I’ve only seen it one time and I barely even seen it that time. I will never fully watch it.
