Can run a 40 in 4.13 and hit 480 ft home runs, throw a absolute laser right on the money to home plate from the warning track.and nobody walks off the diamond straight into pro football no training camp no pre season and is hands down the best RB in the league.

Man O Man!!! Bo Jackson was beyond words. It doesn’t matter your vocabulary and how eloquently you speak, YOU CANNOT truly give his talents justice through vocabulary. Not only was Bo a SUPER athlete, he was wise beyond his years. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Bo still knows.
One of the saddest things I've ever seen was when he tried to continue baseball after his injury and watching him try to run. To see such a strong, talented man attempt to do what his mind told him to do but, watch his body say no was heartbreaking.
For a man who is so magnificent at everything he does to be so humble is. . . .amazing and only adds to his legend.
True legend and is the greatest running back of all time

@JedirieFTW that injury was insane, Bo explains how because of the way he was Tackled from behind, he pulled his hip out of the socket and tore and artery. And he just got up and walked it off. JESUS Christ! It's as much a Shame as has ever happened in sports. The Sports World was greatly cheated out of what could have been the first person to go into the football and baseball HOF. Not to mention that Bo is nothing short of being a great person not just athlete. Bo is that rare human, that the stories never need to be embellished and often don't do them justice.
What a disservice by ESPN of not showing the highlights while one of the greatest of our lifetime is sitting there. He was truly AMAZING 😉
Bo Jackson, what a great athlete, & a great gentleman, too .
I loved watching him play anything. What a class act that deserves so much respect from all of us. He should be the role model for all athletes of today.
Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders...once in a lifetime and what a class athlete
So gifted and such a gentleman. Like the way he gives credit and homage to others despite being so unique.
Such a genuine guy. One of the greats
I'm glad I was of age to witness this man. Truly one of the best athletes in history. He was 100 percent class so you could never root against him even if he was playing your team as well
There will never be an athlete like Bo ever again. He's from a diff planet
Anytime I see Bo, all I can say is "thanks for the memories Bo".
I'm 41 years old. I was 12 when Bo hurt his hip. Of all the athletes in this world, this is the one man I want to meet. He's humble and he has old school class. I will always look up to this man What a star!!!

Just listening to this man talk makes me cry....so much inspiration to so many people back in those times. NOBODY was better than Bo. NOBODY.
This video would have been better with the clips shown that they were talking about. But Bo was the greatest athlete I've ever had the pleasure of watching. The man was truly gifted.
Bo is just too modest of a Human being...and he definitely could play both sports still today in his prime...his talent and athleticism was just that extraordinary...We(All athletes of every sport)Love You Bo always & forever!💯
Only the greats say, " I think its up to others to decide." That type of humility and drive is what makes THEM the greats.

What a humble champion. Is without a doubt the greatest gifted athlete in my lifetime and I played Hockey my whole life!
I watched that Monday Night game live...... good times. Bo was an athlete on another level, just the best player on the field, without a doubt.
Thank you Mr. Jackson. An athlete that left it all on the field.
Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders are the epitome of humble greatness
Both HOFs should have a special tribute to Bo
Sad he was hurt but grateful for seeing the time he had. Class act.
He was my idol as a kid. I had posters of him on my wall and collected all his baseball and football cards
That man's story is admirable and amazing...Bo knows awesome
Every kid I knew back then had the iconic “Bo Knows,” poster with him in shoulder pads holding the baseball bat. EVERYONE! What a tragedy it was to have his career cut short. What an amazing athlete he was.
Man , I was lucky to watch him here in Chicago . He is a great and humble legend , many young players should aspire to have his demeanor , a class act .
What a Gentleman! This Man is the real deal. Thank you Bo!
One of the greatest memories of my childhood was getting to see Bo Jackson hit a homerun at Royals stadium!!! Best day ever...
Thanks Bo for the greatest moments in NFL HISTORY.
He's so amazing. Just his outlook on his history and everything. It makes you admire him even more. Now I'm off to look at clips.
I feel blessed that I got watch his as a child. I have so many of those baseball and football cards.
Two Words, Class Act.
The only reason I ever watched baseball was to see him he was so good football was unreal
I love to listen to his interviews. One of the most intelligent people in the world!!!
I still watch Bo highlights weekly... Best athlete of all time period.
One of the best athletes to walk this planet. Bo Knows! I AM HIM!

such a humble guy, loved him as a kid watching him play.
One Humble Man!!!!! You are one of the greats!
There’s a video of Bo explaining to a child who he is and what accomplishments he had back in the day. It’s equally heartwarming and humbling to see his character.
I saw Bo hit a homerun in the ninth inning with the bases loaded to win the game at Angel stadium when I was about 12 years old. We screamed and yelled. He hadn't played the whole game, they brought him out for that play. We got free baseball card books that night. I still have mine. It holds all of my bo Jackson cards (and two Michael Jordan: white Sox cards). Thank you for the inspiration Bo
I grew up watching Bo in Jr High and High school. Not only is he another level beyond elite, he’s a very classy and genuine person.
I Remeber watching the game that ended his career what a shame great person and athlete
King of king on tha field..... Football Baseball. LOVE
Put this guy in the hall of fame in football and baseball
Ditto to Charles. I am 65 years old and hands down Bo Jackson is the most exciting and explosive athlete I have ever seen. Keep in mind I was an avid bulls fan in the 90s and watched Jordan play every night
