Classic Tailback - Bo Jackson Auburn Highlights

Stephen Davis played 11 years in the NFL, Rudi Johnson played 8. You might want to check your information.

[@daniels4227]

Neither in the Hall of Fame, but that wasn't your point. You said none of them lasted long because of devastating injuries. 11 and 8 years for a running back in the NFL is well above average.

He & Herschel Walker were freaks of nature

[@ta30244gmail]

No......Herschel was ESPN’s top college football player of all time for a reason....Jackson was fabulous but it is no contest with Herschel...Herschel bigger, faster, more powerful, and simply the greatest college football player of all time....was screwed by the writers or would have had two Heismans by the end of his junior year....there isn’t even much of an argument that Bo was a better athlete...as good as Bo was, Herschel was the best player in America as a freshman, the following spring he beat Houston McTear and Ivory Crockett in the 60 yard dash in the Milrose games in MSG, and at that time was (by track times) the seventh fastest man in the world. He went on to anchor the USA bobsled team in the Olympic Games and then was a world champion MMA fighter.....sorry Bo was great but alas, no contest

[@daniels4227]

I'm confused. You clearly state "....there isn’t even much of an argument that Bo was a better athlete", so why the long winded argument?

Amazing thing about Jackson is he played right halfback in the wishbone his first three seasons which meant almost all of his runs went to the left side! (Most wishbone teams put their best halfback at left halfback so he could run most of the time to the right!)....Really got to show what he could do when they went to the I formation his last season and he could run to either side!

It’s always funny looking at the comment section on a Bo Jackson video cause there is always those one or two idiots that are like “he wasn’t that good, people think he was cause of techmo bowl.” Like are you fucking crazy, how can you watch his highlights and look at his numbers and still think he wasn’t one of the best RB ever, probably the best ever.

His senior year he carried the ball like 25 times for over 1700 yards. now just imagine if he carried the ball like that for four straight years.

[@coolbreeze7725]

If u watch his college videos and Herschel’s; he’s definitely not the power back Herschel was! He probably had a half step on Herschel and Deion in the forty , But had slower times in the hundred meters than both Herschel and Deion. Deion ran a 10.2, Herschel ran a 10.3 and Bo ran a 10.4 ; verified times. Everybody says Bo was the best athlete, but mysteriously..... he had the shortest career of the 3. Personally, I believe Marcus Dupree was better than all of them; he just didn’t have much grey matter or leadership in his life. Which running back did more for college football?; not even close....Herschel Walker!

[@coolbreeze7725]

But Deion Sanders is the ONLY MAN in baseball and football to ever run a forty in 4.6 Backwards. Probably the most versatile athlete ever. Bo never played defense and offense; nor cud he match Deion’s speed around the bases. Let Deion, Herschel, Bo, and Marcus compete today and it wud come down between Herschel and Deion; I know the haters are going to hate, but Deion did it all , talked it all up and then did it. People talk bout one stiff arm Bo did on Deion;” that’s funny”, Bo laying on his couch with a broke ass hip and Deion still playing corner, returning punts and kickoffs. Bill Belochek said it best...... the fastest natural athlete he ever saw was Deion Sanders....; then again Bobby Bowden said the only person he ever saw that cud match Deion was ... “played at Marshall” !
