Brian Bosworth: bad. No Jackson: good

[Dallas69]

Boz was a very good college player but had 2 bad shoulders by the time he got to the NFL.
He got caught up in his own hype and steroids really broke his body down.
Bo Jackson was a once in a generation talent.

Boz had a TV show after football and it was canceled soon after the first episode.

If Bo stayed healthy, he could have been in both the football and baseball hall of fame. He is the best athlete I've ever seen play.

Boz was also hurt by injuries. He was very good in college. If healthy, I think he would have been very good in the NFL.

No Jackson????

Bo was great. I was watching the game when he received that career ending football injury...very painful to watch. Bo knew a lot. I still remember those ads.....

Bo Jackson was potentially one of the greatest athletes of all time. If he had just played baseball he could have been a hall of famer. The same was true with football has well. He could have rushed for 13,000 plus yards and been in Canton. It was reported he ran a 4.11 forty yd dash. That's just remarkable! He could hit a baseball 500 plus feet, throw a ball from the warning track on a zip line to home plate getting Harold Reynolds out, and had such speed on the football field to beat another player who had the angle on him.
He really was a once in probably 50 year type athlete.

He broke at least one over his helmet.
