Same as Barry Sanders. He would just hand the ball to the closest official. I don’t mind a little celebration. Scoring a TD is an exciting achievement. My mom is an old stick in the mud. She whines every time a guy spikes the ball when he scores. Like everyone should just slink off the field like a robot. Human emotion adds to the game.

@@arcdestriumph586 can't say I disagree with the complaints about the title being exaggerrated, but what title isn't anymore? While a short NFL career, there is no fan of the pro game that would ever say he was not the most dominant guy on the field when he was there. Again, a short career that included sharing the backfield with another HOF runner, so never getting full time touches. Even so, he was feared for both the speed and power, and without looking it up I know his yard per carry was well over five in an era where most linebackers were tacklers and did not excel at pass coverage.

Barry Sanders, Thurman Thomas, Roger Craig, Emmitt Smith, Eric Dickerson.. all beat Jackson out in Pro Bowl and All Pro selections.

[@Youre_Right]

It sucks we didn’t get to see him play a full career in the NFL. If he hadn’t had such a devastating injury there’s no telling what we would have witnessed. Bo was the best athlete of all time. In high school he won the state decathlon his junior and senior year without running the mile. He beat everyone doing just 9 of the 10 events. That’s a true athlete to be so successful at so many different athletic events. Jordan was great at basketball, but couldn’t make it in baseball. Bo excelled in the NFL and MLB. How many guys could field a ball at the wall and throw it to home plate for an out?

Dude was fast af. All these NCAA defenders were the fastest at their High School but then they couldn't run down Bo.

[@raymondchapman5990]

Bo actually ran a 4.13 at the combine but it was not an official run so it wasn't recorded. And the fact he is a 6'1 230lb man is just unreal. But not only was he fast he was strong as hell. Bo Jackson was the most gifted athlete on the planet and still is today. There has never been another and just may not ever be.

Saw all of OJs college game-Bo was faster in a football uniform, much quicker acceleration. far more punishing , an almost as shifty. Far more elusive than Herschel walker .

For college, Bo was the GOAT at RB.

The blend of speed and power is almost unmatched. Adrian Peterson was a great blend of both as well, but it was a little slower and not as strong and that is saying something because that dude was a monster in the NFL and college. Bo just ran people over like it was not problem, only one play in this highlight film did he not blow by everyone. I mean he looked so much faster that many times you could see people sprint for an angle and they still couldn't get him. Dude was a straight monster.

I consider Bo Jackson to be quite possibly the best all-around athlete ever. That is considering strength, speed, throwing, stamina, eye-hand coordination, the works. However I might go with Herschel Walker as the most dominant football player in college football history. I can't argue with Bo Jackson though.

[@cozycool3505]

Chicago Shawn - Herschel Walker , Deion Sanders and Jesse Owens were just as good !

[@AttRandyReynolds]

+Cozy Cool As far as I know, Herschel Walker and Jesse Owens could not hit a baseball or throw 90 MPH from the outfield. Deion Sanders was not as strong as Bo Jackson and strength is a vital component in being a great all-around athlete. Better choices would be Dave Winfield and Brian Jordan. Neither of those two could tie the shoes of Bo Jackson, athletically.

[@cozycool3505]

[@AttRandyReynolds]

+Cozy Cool You have a much better case with Walker and Deion Sanders when compared to Jesse Owens. Brian Jordan may come in second to Bo Jackson in my book. Another would be Gene Conley who won the World Series and a championship in the NBA. Not many can make the claim that they won championships in the top league in two different sports. .

Im bo fan . But herschel was a rare freak also and had a few times faster than bo and bo beat him sometimes. Both crazy southern black americans that likely are a result of genetics from africa and the way sadly slaves were bred.

You look at bo and his 12 brothers and sisters in pics. 2 of his brothers are bigger and as muscular as him .. its why southern blacks are so powerful

Such disrespect, Bo was awesome but he wasn't the prototype, that would be Jim Brown. Understand, cinder tracks are not as fast a surface as synthetic rubber, and grass is not as fast as artificial turf. Yet Jim still clocked 9.6 at 100yds. Imagine what his time would have been on the newer surfaces. Also, OJ's World-class Olympic speed puts him first. Nothing against Bo. An OU freshman back named Marcus Dupree was just as awesome as Bo on the football field while sharing carries with 3 other backs in the wishbone, prompting Switzer to switch to the I-Formation the following year. But Dupree was manipulated and misinformed by a Mississippi grifter and didn't return.
