The INSANE Prime of Bo Jackson

[@jamesweldon8118]

I lived in auburn for about ten years and just about everyone has a Bo Jackson legend they've heard before. I was lucky enough to meet him at a Bo Bikes Bama event in 2022. He was so gracious with everyone. Stopped to take a selfie with absolutely every person that asked. Asked their name, shook their hand, thanked them for being there. 100% pure class. Elite athlete, elite human. ❤

[@davidjohnson6611]

Very well stated and he is quite a man. That's more important than even his incredibly never seen before athletic ability

[@Cam23]

That's really awesome you had the opportunity to meet him! Thank you for sharing that story

[@Mario-y7r]

I met Bo in 1986 as a young baseball player. He was so gracious with his time. Became an Auburn man at that moment.

[@EIRE1980]

Very nice guy. Well spoken, respectful to everyone who approached him. When he was with the Angeles he came to Iowa when our minor league team was affiliated with the Angels. Why he was there I have no idea but he shook hands and talk to people before and after the game. I was 14 then and had grew up loving watching him do what Bo does football and baseball. The guys strength, speed, and power was almost in human. The Raiders were never my team but we all tuned into watch Bo. And when he got hurt it devastated alot of us kids. But luckily he could still play baseball and sometimes you'd catch him on a fishing and hunting channel. Definitely one of my sports heros as a kid. I worked all summer 3 yrs in a row just to be able to buy his Nikes for school alot of us did, it was either Bo Jacksons or Michael Jordan's, and later kids had Shaqs Reeboks with the CO2 cartridge. Man I miss the 80s and 90s.

[@BeastNolan]

For the amount of talent and athleticism that Bo had, he was very humble and never had any off-field issues. Pure class and one of the best role models of any athlete to ever live.

[@joshuapatrick682]

So he was the man when I was a youngster. As a 10 year old kid watching him do things no one else could on the field was unreal! His time was short, but it was memorable! He is an inspiration.

[@Cam23]

During my research it was hard to fathom his unique skillset! No doubt a generational talent

[@HEATFAN1707]

I remember watching a doc about him when I was about the same age I’d never and have never seen anything like him sense. Should be in the hof of both the mlb and nfl imo

[@davidjohnson6611]

Bo Jackson was the closest thing to a superhero I could imagine what a remarkably gifted talented athlete and of course a very Humble man there will never be another Bo Jackson and if not for injuries he may well have made the Hall of Fame in both football and MLB

[@Cam23]

For myself, it's hard to believe what he was able to do in NFL without a preseason!

[@big8dog887]

On the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on Bo, someone made the rather astute observation that Bo Jackson came around at just the perfect time, if he had come along just a couple of years later, everyone would have just assumed he was on steroids.

[@Scottadamsfan3481]

No because he was already like that in high school

[@Scottadamsfan3481]

And steroids don’t make you into an athlete at all they just make muscle bigger

[@vinpowe4181]

Only am idiot would believe that looking at his complete resume.

[@vincents9620]

@@Scottadamsfan3481yup boz is the perfect example

[@That-Dude-DRASTIC537]

Steroids were rampant in the league before and after he was there. 😂 Alzado and Mituzak were Juiced Raiders. Junior took juice, Romo was juiced out his mind. It was there they just knew Bo wasn’t from earth 😂

[@rexpresto]

That play where Bo got injured against Cincinnati remains one of the saddest things I have ever seen in sports. Bo was one of a kind.

[@MarvinMonroe]

Yup and Bengals were cursed after that. They were horrible for the next 25+ years

[@JJwestoakland1200]

Dey shoulda let Marcus run dat cuz dey had da game won

[@jonpak5418]

​@JJwestoakland1200 there was a whole thing with al

[@Chewyness]

Bo Jackson was the greatest natural athlete to have ever lived, he didn’t even workout because he said it would make him too bulky, the shape he was in was just his natural physical shape, he was just a beast a super human that this world will never see again

[@zqrahll]

I was 12 years old watching that playoff game against Cincinnati when he got hurt, and I burst into tears. Bo was superhuman, and it was an absolute tragedy to see his peak get cut off like that.

[@Cam23]

Bo's NFL career ending the way it did is truly heartbreaking. A shame he didn't get more than 4 seasons in the league

[@RobD-jq7ry]

Nobody thought it was serious when it first occurred. Such a shame.

[@LaStOnE_leFt]

I swear SAME!! I was also 12 at the time 4-1-79. Also cried when I heard how serious it was. He would've been mentioned a long with the all time greats in both sports . Imagine making the HOF on both sports?!?! He was that good I believe he could've done it

[@Auditorsarenotcriminals]

⁠@@LaStOnE_leFtwithout a doubt he would have been hof in both sports if he didn’t have the injury he did! It’s such a tragedy that nobody even mentions him when talking about one of the greatest athletes in the nfl. Had he not gotten injured in the way he did, he would have already been in the hof and he would be mentioned weekly as one of the best ever!

[@LaStOnE_leFt]

@@Auditorsarenotcriminals I remember this like it was yesterday. Broke a long run and got tackled from behind obviously the guy had an angle on him as there's not many that would catch Bo from behind, if anyone. Maybe Green but anyway, I remember him talking like he'd be back next week and walking off the field after the game. That hip joint!! I remember his sneaks and all the commercials. I had his poster on my wall where he's wearing shoulder pads with a bat across his shoulders behind his neck. And he was such a humble respectful guy as well. An athlete that would have been great in any era in both sports IMO. I love watching the younger generation watch his highlights in amazement. We got to see it while it was happening

[@johnjankowski6814]

Bo Jackson is my all time favorite athlete. The man was incredible. If he would not have had the hip problems, he would have had multiple World Series and Superbowl rings

[@DeeDaKaang1]

If Bo Jackson would've simply played RB for 10 years he would go down as 1 of the greatest football players of all-time.

[@christophertifre2018]

Bo was the best Tecmo Bowl player ever

[@Gen_4927]

Its not a mystery, just something to acknowledge that sets Bo apart from anyone else - Bo's reaction time / Hand-eye coordination. No one, ever, has been able to match that and everything else. Michael Jordan made an attempt, and that was laughable.

[@thomasguglielmo1509]

Eric Davis needs a vid!! Brian Giles was super underrated too

I hope you realize that it was a joke...

[@davep1103]

BO JAKSON ! THE GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME ! 🏈 ⚾️ ( He was an alternate for The 1988 4x4 Relay Team. )

[@timsinkovitz]

Bo was a juggernaut in both sports. I still remember him rushing for over 100 yards every game I saw him play it seems. Such a shame that injury robbed us from seeing him go on to achieve so much more. The thing I remember most about him though was his humble attitude about his abilities and stardom. He seemed like an everyday person.

[@joshuapatrick682]

The things these talented young men and women dealt with in the time when college sports was becoming national and monetized was deplorable. The multibillion-dollar industry that feeds on their talent and hard work has finally had to pay the piper for the decades of exploitation.

[@kenw2225]

Meh, theyre not the ones even paying. Still slave behavior. Education should be implied with the exploitation of athletic ability. And academic. They don't have to have sports programs. They choose. They should pay out with either booster %, or ticket sales %

[@thrillhill5257]

As a kid this guy was bigger than life. Such an amazing athlete. True legend

[@kenw2225]

Honesty never realized his baseball skill on offense. Should be hall of fame. He makes baseball look cooler. And he brought fans. I'd even argue necessary for story of mlb. Best athlete to ever play the game. And great player with great numbers. Plus he chose baseball when nfl offered him 6x the money. Just my opinion.

[@BufordTGleason]

In addition, his minor league career was ridiculously short. He was hitting major league pitching basically as a raw talent that played half the season. When he was at his peak, he could hit the fastball. It was the curveball that gave him trouble. It’s not unreasonable to assume that that extra time in the minor leagues he could’ve become more disciplined at the plate. He was the only guy in my 50 years of watching pro sports that made the dimensions of a baseball diamond look smaller than everybody else.

[@Mozzermarr10]

Great video. I was there in the 80s and loved watching Bo. What a legend!!!

[@andyn6920]

Bo is, undoubtedly, the greatest athlete I’ve ever seen. And I’m old. Really old lol

[@Yourcreeepyuncle]

There is no question he was the greatest athlete that has ever lived.

[@carlpacquing2575]

His career almost reminds me of Ohtani's, where we're watching someone dominate in 2 facets, albeit Ohtani only plays baseball. Those 2 are one of a kind. Great video!

[@Cam23]

Agreed, a unicorn type of player! Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙌🏼

[@powerboatguy2308]

6.8 yards per carry after laying off football for 2 years, what a freak of nature.

The way I remember that Deion game was that he made that diving catch. Then he went into the crowd and delivered a baby. That baby was Lebron James.

A man of integrity. He stuck to his word no matter how much money it cost him.

Hey you should do Joe Mauer next. He is my favorite player of all time and he has a great story.

[@reginald29061]

I just discovered your series plain awesome. You need to do an series on Deion Sanders. The closest thing to Bo Jackson & not to mention they way he's changing college football in the coaching & recruiting.

[@randorseywilliams9772]

That was the 1st time I ever seen the Wildcat offense. It was absolutely perfect for Bo.😊

[@NickPR87]

Bo's run as a 2-sport athlete was awesome and iconic, but it being cut short by his hip injury also presents a "what if?" scenario. I remember George Brett saying that if he stayed injury free, Bo would have at least reached 300 HRs.

[@Cam23]

One can only imagine what the injury free numbers would look like!

[@kenw2225]

He was dominating 2 sports lol. Deion was good at baseball but not like bo. Carlton haselrig the only other guy I know to dominate 2 sports like that the past 40 years.

[@jmillshobbies6344]

I was an LA Raiders season-ticket holder for several years. He was phenomenal! I met him following an Angels game (IIRC, it was against the Dodgers) and asked him to sign an American Library Association READ poster on which he was pictured with Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea. He turned me down politely, which is more than I can say for some other athletes I could name!

[@davidca96]

Bo Jackson is the last superhuman we have seen on Earth. A superhuman is someone who is so athletically gifted they can dominate any sport if they decide to. He was perfectly built genetically for athletics, it was remarkable to see and im glad I got to see it real time, because you dont see people like him usually in your lifetime..

[@1neOfN0ne]

Even as a Phillies fan, I've always appreciated the 90s Braves teams because even as a kid I recognized the greatness in their pitching rotation with Smoltz, Maddox and Glavine. So when the Phillies beat them in the 93' NLCS it made it that much more special. I was 9 years old and remember going into that series just grateful the Phillies had made it that far but no way they'd beat the Braves... But they did and it was incredible. Funny enough, the Phillies ownership of the Braves during the Postseason, is still alive and well 😆

[@samright4661]

As a Georgia Dawg fan I can tell Bo was great Running back. Bo and Hershel Walker are the 2 best RB in College Football history.

The greatest thing about Bo Jackson is not just the lore. There is talk about Bo’s speed. His explosiveness. His strength. Just everything about Bo that sounds utterly ridiculous to all of us mere mortals. No way he ran a 4.13 40 time. And then there are the people who played with and against him. While the rest of us armchairs said such stuff was impossible? Those people in football and baseball and track and field will talk about Bo and say that everything they say about Bo is not only 100% true but that the stories are moderated in order to maintain some believability. It wasn’t just those of us who witnessed him do it (I got to see him play in person against the Bengals run for a TD of over 90 yards against the Bengals. From those cheap seats at the Coliseum it was clear that he was the biggest and the fastest and the baddest) who were awed. It was the elite pros who said that we mere mortals have no idea just how fast and big and strong he was.

Multiple primes of Barry Bonds video when, or The Beginning of the End of Baseball as we knew it, featuring Adam Dunn, the first/most prolific three true outcome player. (Obviously you could argue other people, but considering he ended up with a career average of .237, its pretty bad. It really felt like he set the stage for everyone else that followed, aka mark reynolds, dan uggla, and any other players who can't hit for average, strike out a ton, mash 20-40 homeruns a year and walk a semi moderate amount each season.) I do enjoy that you look at other players than simply the creme de la creme of MLB history.
