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.

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.

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

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. ❤

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.

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.

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.

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 %

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

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.

Bo did the damn thing.

I am so damn happy to grow up in a time period to watch that man play. He was just amazing!

The numbers don't allow for the Hall of Fame but just watching and you could tell he could be the best ever

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.

Bo Knows humility!

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 😆

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.

Awesome video. Thank you for taking the time to entertain, remind and inform us.

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.

Do Freddy Sanchez from the Pirates next. He won a batting title.

I was lucky enough to watch Bo as a Los Angeles Raider.. He was truly a beast.. Lynch had nothing on Bo.. Unfortunately I was also at the game that ended his career.. Was a sad day that I'll never forget!! Bo was a bad Ass.. As a side note.. My work often had me around the Raiders practice site and I remember running into Lyle Alzado and Howie Long ,I asked them about Bo and they both said that they would never tackle him during drills!!! They wanted no part of him!! 😂😂

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.

Bo Knows athleticism

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.

There is much more to this video than just a "rehash" of a 30 for 30 special I'm aware of and took as a major inspiration to make this video in the first place. Had I not spent considerable time researching on top of what was presented there, I would have just shared a link saying "watch this because it covers everything about Bo Jackson." More than a decade has since passed and several of the dates were incorrect for some of his major milestones.
