Bo Jackson is basically mythological. Like if you weren't around to witness how ridiculously great he was you just won't be able to understand it. He's like the guy that you can make almost any claim and whether it was true or not, you'd have to believe it because you know it's possible. That's the basis of the whole "Bo Knows" campaign. He could do anything. Bo know football. Bo knows baseball. Bo knows... Basically anything.
As a Cowboys hater, let me just say, Larry Allen was the greatest offensive lineman in the NFL, not just the Cowboys. This is coming from a former high school OL.
@@O-D-X And he anchored what was one of the best O-lines in history, maybe even THE best. That line is why nobody gives any credit to Emmitt Smith for being the all time rushing leader. Can you imagine Barry Sanders running behind that line?
Yeah, it goes up almost exponentially. When you realize just how gifted you have to be to be a D-1 athlete, and the guys that even make the pros were guys that made average D-1 athletes look like bad athletes. Then legends like these that make average pros look like bad athletes.
Rest In Piece to the one and only legendary Hall Of Famer Larry Allen he was truly the absolute BEST back in his Prime with Dallas Cowboys winning his 1st Super Bowl Ring in 1995 vs Steelers but he will never ever will be forgotten🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 6:06
A man so strong he broke his own hip trying to yank his leg up to take the next step while a tackler was holding his feet together. His leg muscles managed to not so much as pull his leg out of socket but break the socket itself off of the rest of his hip.
The missed one freak of nature. That freak of nature is the best running back ever. You really need to watch Barry Sanders 50 best runs. Nobody changed direction like Sanders. He made the best players look like rookies.
@@Minotaur92 You weren’t there and you didn’t see him play in person either. And you couldn’t do 4/40 in a car. Not sure why you even bothered to comment, lol.
1:42 "There goes Bo, and nobody catches Bo!" as called by Al Michaels. Watched that Monday Nighter against Seattle. More impressive in that same game was when he plowed through Brian Bosworth near the goal line.
Jim Thorpe was the greatest athlete in history. They actually named a town after him when he died in Pennsylvania, and buried him there. How many athletes are that amazing?
Jim Thorpe also has a city in Pennsylvania named after him. Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. Also his life size bronze statue right inside the entrance to the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Calvin Johnson a.k.a Megatron was really a bonafide STUD coming to the NFL because he was a 1st Round 2nd overall pick Georgia Tech University Yellow Jacket in the 2007 NFL Draft selected by the Detroit Lions but he didn't disappoint there will never be another one like him now he's a Pro Football Hall Of Famer living his best life too! 10:00
Calvin Johnson is still the biggest athletic freak to me. Talk about having the perfect mixture of strength, size, speed, and quickness. There was nobody in history better molded for the NFL. Even a modern equivalent like DK Metcalf, while he has the size and speed, didn’t have the jumping or receiving ability that Megatron had.
They are all gifted but they put in an unimaginable amount of work. While high school snd college parties happened, they were working out their whole lives.
I don't actually agree with this. There are many players that worked much harder than these guys and didn't even make it to the NFL. You think Randy Moss and Deion Sanders were just staying home working on their abilities rather than going out and having fun? The true hardest workers in NFL history didn't make this list (ie players like Jerry Rice, who was the greatest of all time at his position despite not being as physically gifted as players on this list: Megatron and Moss).
@@jesses5463 there's always outliers but don't get it twisted. Megatron had to work his ass off. He went to Georgua Tech because Bama, Georgia, Ohio State didn't think he was good enough. Thinking these guys just cruised to NFL stardom on natural ability without working their asses off is just silly. Also, Walter Payton had the best work ethic I've ever seen. Rice was crazy but go look up Paytons daily workout routune.
Deion Sanders was one of the best if not one of the absolute greatest shutdown CB in NFL's History but make no mistake about it he was Untouchable with his swagger his entertainment his own flavor and they called him PrimeTime for all the right reasons he'd will highstep his way for Touchdowns after he get's a Interception he was a 1st Round 5th overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft by Atlanta Falcons from 1989 to 1993 a former Florida State University Seminoles Alumni was awesome he can talk to talk and walk to walk but at the same time he was a 2X Super Bowl Champion 1994 49ers along with NFL's Defensive player of the year award and 1995 Dallas Cowboys and he is not only a Hall Of Famer but now the Coach with Colorado Buffalos in college football now! 8:24
Why would you say this when he actually was 50% white. You probably think Barack Obama's mom wasn't pasty white too. And Colin Kaepernick's moms, both natural born and adoptive.
2:02 there is the ones who are gifted incredible talent, then there is Bo jackson. That’s what makes him so different from everybody else. Only playing 4 years really halted what he would’ve accomplished in the nfl. But in that 4 year span I haven’t seen another players highlights like his. The man literally ran to one side of the field back to the other side then back again and ran for a touchdown. Single greatest highlight I’ve ever seen
Randy Moss was one of those players who just made a big impact in the 1998 year in the 1998 NFL Draft he was a 1st Round 21st pick by Minnesota Vikings out of Marshall he was a hand full with Speed his Hands his EndZone Celebrations but he is was and always will be a Super Freak Super Freak of a athlete no question about it! 4:20
@@Des420Absolutely he did play basketball in high school in West Virginia but here's a FunFact his high school teammate was Jason Williams in the NBA he went to University of Florida Gators and he played in Sacramento until winning the NBA Championship in 2006 with Miami Heat too
I lived in a dorm with a D-3 lineman who never made the NFL but he could have . Cool dude, and he looked sloppy but he was athletic AF. He was 6'3" and 300 lb, and incredibly quick. When we played intramural flag football, he took my head off without even trying. Just a giant, and gifted. We called him Neck, due to his apparent lack of a neck.
@@lt.spears1889 did you not see Wilt Chamberlain? Or even Herschel Walker? Not to take away from Bo Jackson. But with Wilt you have a 7 footer with actual recorded times that were on Olympic levels. Running, shot put, multiple jumping events all at elite levels. Again at 7 foot and he is in multiple sports hall of fame. Bo was not gonna make either sports hall of fame even if he didn't get injured. A pro bowler who didn't break 1k yards not to mention his ability to strick out. He made great highlights, and his Outfield throw to home plate for that out is still one of the best I've seen.
Hey guy's here's another suggestion, if interested. "Martin Luther King Jr.'s I have A Dream Speech/history" (by the channel: HISTORY) -- Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, just a few years after giving his iconic "I Have A Dream" speech. He was shot to death, while standing on a balcony in Memphis, Tennessee, at the age of 39 yrs. old. King's speech was delivered on August 28, 1963, during the march on Washington.
@@BigIronKate-uj5vk I like your suggestion. I've seen at least five different reaction channels where people say they love the US and want to visit, and there of those have. I've never seen any of them say they're interested in learning about the people of this country by going to cultural festivals of different ethnicities, civil rights museums, etc. 🙁
I watched Bo Jackson in both Football and Baseball and he was simply unbelievable! You could not believe your eyes at times since he was huge and had unreal speed. It's too bad his career was cut short with a devastating injury.
Just to clarify, quarterbacks don't necessarily have to be tall/big. The passing yards leader all time is Drew Brees who is 5'10" which is considered short for a quarterback. The Arizona Cardinals QB is Kyler Murray who is 5"9' and he's a top half QB when not injured. Some QBs like Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson are genetic freaks who play a totally different game than others at the same position. However, QBs often aren't the "best athlete" on their team, it's just the most "specialized" position in that you have to have a specific skillset.
Maybe its possible Drew Brees actual flat footed height might be like 5'10 7/8" or something. But he was always listed as 6 foot, so for you to just go rogue and come up with your own height for him is like WTF?
HIstoically prototype QBs need to be tall but that changes as the game evolves. Same thing that you now have small players play WR when back in the day guys of that size would have had next to no chance of making the NFL.
Jim Thorpe is Native American, and his birth name is Wa-Tho-Huk. I guess someone like me, seeing, knowing of and being part Native American, (Cherokee and Choctaw) African American, and European American, helps many of us know he is just by looking. Some people of color say "We can recognize our own", and in my personal experience, it's pretty accurate. Someone may look white to many, but to many others, facial features, undertones of skin color, and hair texture can be quite noticeable and tell that a person is "of color".
@@jesses5463 Oh, please. You can't speak for "every white dude", and it's definitely not true that _every_ man who is white claims to be Native American. I've never known anyone in the US who is from Europe, claim to be Native American, but I don't know _every_ man like you do. Also, if the names are listed within any records to prove someone is of any part Native American, they're seen as such. There are many people who are half or less and are recognized by their Indigenous people.
I think it was lost on you that Jim Thorpe was native American not white. That actually makes his accomplishments even more remarkable when considering the lack of resources and assistance any native American would have trying to succeed in the athletic world. And he had success in virtually every athletic endeavor he attempted. Truly incredible. 🏹
Randy made me some $$$$$ playing for Marshall in college. Bo Jackson was badass. So fast, so big tuff to tackle. Jim Brown, the BEST RB in NFL history. Back when the season was 12 games. (now 17) He wouldn`t step out of bounds, rather he would challenge you to tackle him. He left the NFL to make movies! More $$$$$$ less pain! Vernon made the list????? No way. I`m waiting to get the call, I`m 6-6 255 4.2 40yds 24 ft long jump and 49 inch vertical jump!
Jim Thorpe, a Native American (Indian) was a great athlete who went on to become head coach of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. In many towns he was forbidden to room with teammates. He persevered and went on to being the best athlete of his generation.
Jim Thorpe’s Native American name, Wa-Tho-Huk, means “Bright Path.” How fitting! Imagine doing all he did, in the era in which he lived, as a Native American. He’s one of the athletes I admire most. 😊
Bo Jackson was a real unstoppable player the greatest athlete of all time for real if now for him getting hurt then he would be at least a Super Bowl Champion and a Hall Of Famer as well! 0:44
Bo Jackson is my Sports Hero 100%, lol i was going to comment right before I watched and say Bo Better Be In This!!! lol and First one was Bo Jackson, Excellent.... Dude was Amazing
This one’s good showing some of the all time freaks of nature. There is another titled top 10 freaks of nature currently which I think shows about more specificity of their size
I once heard there was a reporter doing an interview with Bo in Auburn, AL before his senior season maybe, and he said he lost count of how many flies he caught with his hands just sitting in the dorm doing the interview.
If you two get a chance check out Bo Jackson's baseball highlights... breaking bats,,,running up walls...diving catches,,,then his football running through and past people... his career was cut short but he dominated...plus check out his gameboy scoring
I have enjoyed your channel. I love your honesty! You guys are proud of your country just as Americans are. The feeling of that our governments no longer represents what are expectations are as citizens are mutual with any free living country! However, I am living the American life and despite the media manipulation, my family, friends and tribe are still happy and are living the lives we earned and enjoyed. You Guys would assimilate easy to American lifestyle. First have a community…. Networking, helping. … we are team players. You have my back I will have your back! Be an individual without breaking the law but don’t be bullied or fucked with! It a tough country with tough, ambitious, and the most giving/ kind people you will ever meet.
Unfortunately Hershel Walker suffered so many head injuries that when he ran for office some years later he couldn't string a coherent sentence together.
Now, be honest, and admit that you think anyone who is a conservative is brainless after having voted for the nincompoop mannequin named Joe Biden who bumbled and stumbled over his words in front of the whole world for four years. he's "sharp as a tack" behind the scenes, or so the media told you. keep eating it up though, kamala is a "genius"
This video didn't even come close to showing some of Calvin Johnson's best catches. He was incredible, sometimes had 4-5 guys pile on him and he still came out with the ball 😍
He ment to say the 2007 Patriots Randy Moss was part of that team going 16-0 in the Regular Season but in the Super Bowl at 18 wins but NOT for 19 unfortunately they lost the game vs Giants for real! 5:45
I was hoping you could see Barry Sanders.Don't forget what you saw, but you have to see videos of him.I saw him run in person.I'll never forget a talent that I always will remember
Deon Sanders Play for the Atlanta falcons and baseball for the Atlanta Braves. Played a game for the falcons in San Francisco then flew to Atlanta to play in a world series game for the Braves
1:05 yeah you said it perfectly Bo had *everything* not rly a religious guy but I think ppl like him and Peppers really are good examples of men gifted by god, they are savant athletes
On offense, Skoal Brutha himself, Earl Campbell was feared by all defensive players. He didn't bother to run around a tackler. Rather, Earl just ran over them. On defense, two words and enough is said, Lawrence Taylor. LT caused all offensive coordinators to come up with a different game plan. Just ask Joe Theismann.
Out of all these guys, Larry Allen’s athleticism and speed makes absolutely no sense in his body. That bulldozer strength had no business being as mobile/fast as it was. RIP
Kind of surprised to not see Lawrence Taylor on this list. Seems like a super obvious selection, as he is one of very few players that other players were actually terrified of (especially quarterbacks). Maybe it is because, aside from his physicality, cocaine/crack was his super power. Either way, dude was an absolute terror.
Vernon Davis never cared much about football. he was just natural gifted as an athlete. I remember he skipped training to get his interior decoration license.
Auburn played Tennessee in football and Tennessee got tired of hearing about Bo Jackson and broke his helmet with tacking. He left the game in the second half. . Tennessee won the game...
you're thinking of bullet bob hayes, who set a world record in the 100 in borrowed shoes. this list failed to recognize his athleticism by omission. He was the fastest man in the world by a long shot and played in the NFL for several successful seasons. His world record in the 100 stood for 15 years.
Jim Thorpe was Native American he wasn't White
Glad someone clarified for people
Started laughing when he said it. To me Jim Thorpe is the greatest athlete ever. I do realize that there may be some I don't know about.
lol all for fun…. White people are that good in contact sports. It’s a joke
Technically Jim Thorpe was more white than native. Since both of his parents were half white. But yes Thorpe was and is viewed as Native American.
might want to check that math
James(Jim) Francis Thorpe was a Native American. He was a member of the Sac and Fox Nation. ❤
He was mixed-race white and NA.
@@Objectifiedto be specific, French and Irish. But I think everyone gets it
Anyone born in the US is a native American.
I grew up in the 70's and 80's and Jim Brown's name STILL comes up all the time. He really did set a standard.
He absolutely did.

Pat Dye came to check Bo. Who actually was4 sport. He was standing in water waist deep and did a backflip.Try that see how it turns out.
Not even to mention him in Tecmo Bowl! He was a cheat code

@dragonage2112 I'd still add Barry Sanders. He's got size and speed. Size is he's short and fast.. 🤣🤣
I saw them both--Jim Brown was the GOAT, not Barry. But Barry is the most elusive back ever and would be no. 2 or tied with Payton for no. 2.
Barry's size was part of the high difficulty in tackling him. 5'8 and low center of gravity. Speed IS power.

I once heard there was a reporter doing an interview with Bo in Auburn, AL before his senior season maybe, and he said he lost count of how many flies he caught with his hands just sitting in the dorm doing the interview.
Yass & Fats Truly Such A Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
I know Jerry Rice is considered the GOAT WR, but Calvin Johnson is easily the best I've ever seen play the position.
As a Raider fan, Bo was just built different...literally
Neon was the sheet, so entertaining at so many roles
Wilt Chamberlain is another "freak of nature" athlete you will definitely be impressed with. Played in the NBA and also with the Harlem Globetrotters!
Some people are just naturally gifted. Bo Jackson hardly ever lifted weights and was built like a Greek god.
Deion Sanders is the only professional athlete to hit a MLB Home Run and a NFL Touchdown in THE SAME WEEK.
If you two get a chance check out Bo Jackson's baseball highlights... breaking bats,,,running up walls...diving catches,,,then his football running through and past people... his career was cut short but he dominated...plus check out his gameboy scoring
I have enjoyed your channel.
I love your honesty! You guys are proud of your country just as Americans are. The feeling of that our governments no longer represents what are expectations are as citizens are mutual with any free living country!
However, I am living the American life and despite the media manipulation, my family, friends and tribe are still happy and are living the lives we earned and enjoyed.
You Guys would assimilate easy to American lifestyle.
First have a community…. Networking, helping. … we are team players. You have my back I will have your back!
Be an individual without breaking the law but don’t be bullied or fucked with!
It a tough country with tough, ambitious, and the most giving/ kind people you will ever meet.
Unfortunately Hershel Walker suffered so many head injuries that when he ran for office some years later he couldn't string a coherent sentence together.
Yeah, he has nothing left upstairs.
Now, be honest, and admit that you think anyone who is a conservative is brainless after having voted for the nincompoop mannequin named Joe Biden who bumbled and stumbled over his words in front of the whole world for four years. he's "sharp as a tack" behind the scenes, or so the media told you. keep eating it up though, kamala is a "genius"
This video didn't even come close to showing some of Calvin Johnson's best catches. He was incredible, sometimes had 4-5 guys pile on him and he still came out with the ball 😍
Hey From West Central Florida. Truly enjoy your reaction videos. Keep having fun. BTW, here is a Jolly video y'all might enjoy. Best wishes.
Hey fun fact, Bo ripped his hip out of socket. Doctor's at the time didn't even know that was possible. That's how explosive he was.
Bo's hip had to be replaced with an artificial hip. During his recovery, Jackson developed a bone disease called avascular necrosis (AVN).
He ment to say the 2007 Patriots Randy Moss was part of that team going 16-0 in the Regular Season but in the Super Bowl at 18 wins but NOT for 19 unfortunately they lost the game vs Giants for real! 5:45
i watched Bo Jackson play at the LA Coliseum when he was a Raider
I was hoping you could see Barry Sanders.Don't forget what you saw, but you have to see videos of him.I saw him run in person.I'll never forget a talent that I always will remember
Deon Sanders Play for the Atlanta falcons and baseball for the Atlanta Braves. Played a game for the falcons in San Francisco then flew to Atlanta to play in a world series game for the Braves
1:05 yeah you said it perfectly Bo had *everything*
not rly a religious guy but I think ppl like him and Peppers really are good examples of men gifted by god, they are savant athletes
They left out 1 major person. Reggie "The Minister of Defense" White.
On offense, Skoal Brutha himself, Earl Campbell was feared by all defensive players. He didn't bother to run around a tackler. Rather, Earl just ran over them. On defense, two words and enough is said, Lawrence Taylor. LT caused all offensive coordinators to come up with a different game plan. Just ask Joe Theismann.
Out of all these guys, Larry Allen’s athleticism and speed makes absolutely no sense in his body. That bulldozer strength had no business being as mobile/fast as it was. RIP
Dieon Sander once ran down Bo Jackson. It didnt end well for Deion when he got to Bo, but no one ran down Bo.
This never happened. They never faced each other in the NFL. Bo retired the year after Sander was a rookie.
moss had alligator arms when he knew he was going to get hit
Not Freaks, but Bordering on Ultra Natural!
12:04 this spot where you paused. Herschel Walker is about 50 yrs old in that particular video clip
Eric Williams was another freak of Nature he was the reason why Larry Allen had to sit for so long and if he did not have that auto accident HOF.
Kind of surprised to not see Lawrence Taylor on this list. Seems like a super obvious selection, as he is one of very few players that other players were actually terrified of (especially quarterbacks). Maybe it is because, aside from his physicality, cocaine/crack was his super power. Either way, dude was an absolute terror.
Vernon Davis never cared much about football. he was just natural gifted as an athlete. I remember he skipped training to get his interior decoration license.
That's not true. I went to high school with him, and stayed friends with him throughout his NFL career.
Thorpe unfortunately died in Poverty but he is being mentioned at the Paris Olympics I believe.
You should react to bo Jackson.he played NFL and the MLB at the same time.
Dion’s coach at FSU was Bobby Bowden. As in Bow Japanese style so Bow Den. Not Bo Den. The auto generated scripts mid pronounce lots of stuff.
Check out best of Barry Sanders
As I'm sure many have probably said already, Jim Thorpe wasn't white, he was Native American....
No Barry Sanders?, the ultimate freak of nature
Jim Thorpe wasn't white. He was a Native American.
Larry Allen just passed away this year
Auburn played Tennessee in football and Tennessee got tired of hearing about Bo Jackson and broke his helmet with tacking. He left the game in the second half. . Tennessee won the game...
Would love to see you guys react to Barry Sanders
Great reaction!, should react to 10 Dirtiest NFL Players Of All Time. 👍
A great video would be looking up the rumors of Bo Jackson. The story on him is so underrated
If you haven't already check out the 10 scariest NFL players of all time. Football isn't the tame it was back in the day. I still love though.
please do a reaction on herschel walker, great video btw!
I believe it was Jim Thorpe that won that gold at the olympics with .... no shoes?, borrowed shoes? anybody remember?
you're thinking of bullet bob hayes, who set a world record in the 100 in borrowed shoes. this list failed to recognize his athleticism by omission. He was the fastest man in the world by a long shot and played in the NFL for several successful seasons. His world record in the 100 stood for 15 years.
@@ericcouchnope.
Hershel Walker would do 1000 situps, and 1000 pushups before breakfast. He would then go work out.
Clavin Johnson was a beast ....
Jim Thorpe was simply built different
Randy Moss is a fellow West Virginia native
Bo Jackson played NFL football as a hobby during the MLB off-season.
I would say that DK Metcalf from just a athleticism standpoint is the best player I have ever seen
Bo rarely lifted weights and was solid rock physically
