I'm 42 and he's still easily the best all around athlete I've ever seen in my life. 4.13 at 230-235 Pounds = INSANE
Same here lol. He was a beast !!!!
Best athlete ever. No one comes close
You'd be surprised how heavy sprinters are. They are actually quite heavily muscled. Some sprinters are well over 200lbs.
@Mark Metternich .... I think Jordan could've been a great sprinter. 4.3 in the 40 as a sophomore in college is nasty!
There is absolutely no way that the truth not electronically timed which is slower and is the way they do it today. Hand time has so many inaccuracies plus the fact he was just way too heavy.
I love hearing Bo Jackson speak. It’s so soothing.
Robert Harrison woah
@@zaffixes it is tho
It’s crazy because he use to have a stuttering problem growing up. He worked on it and now you would never know
Gayyyyyyyy
@@brendonlarmond6950 I never knew this i thought it was just cte
Who remembers him running up the outfield wall with the Royals!? 😲
Love that
I remember watching him do that when he played minor league for The Memphis Chicks. He is, without question, the greatest athlete to ever play any sport. Period....
@Jack Burton
Ran him over and ruined his career. Hit him so hard, it made him a B movie actor...
The most impressive athletes I've ever seen in person were Bo Jackson and Vernon Davis.
Those two looked like they were sculpted by God.
@@brianoflaherty6190 As a Niner Fan, Vernon was a freak of nature. What's more impressive is his artwork and the fact he's into olympic curling lol
Bo Jackson is the closest a human being will ever get to a literal train.
So I guess Herschel Walker is closest to a bullet train cause he was just as big, but faster.
I think that Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders are the exact opposites on the Halfback spectrum. Bo will stiff arm your soul to the ground and Barry will dodge everything in his path
Derek henry
Jerome bettis.
sydboski no. If no ran a 4.13 which is the fastest where does Herschel walker measure up to that
I love how they laughed about him saying he’d want his kid playing golf and stopped and then he told them he’d lost friends that he didn’t know about until he saw concussion
This man I respect greatly with how well he preformed and how he was always humble
@knightowl50 as a coach and former player ive looked thourougly at the research. The CTE epidemic is drastically over blown for numbers of reasons. There is also incredible strides that have been made to help the brain recover, not just from CTE, but all types of brain issuses like PTSD and dementia but they are getting absolutely zero media coverage
knightowl50 the original comment never even claimed sports should be banned you’re the one over reacting. If your own friends died due to concussions you wouldn’t want your kid to play football either. He even says he wouldn’t go back and change playing football. You’re an idiot.
Anthony Arena “I’ve looked thoroughly at research” HAHAH yeah no you haven’t. Nothing about it is being overblown. It’s the simple fact that your head is protected and kept still causing your brain to slam against your skull. You’re clearly an idiot who can’t accept the truth. If you hit like that without helmets you would break your skull, doing it with a helmet doesn’t magically fix things it reverts all force to your brain. You’re embarrassing yourself. Truly. I love football and it’s a unfortunate side effect but it’s undeniable. I’m sure you believe climate change isn’t real and the earth is flat but you’ve also somehow done thorough research on that too huh? Don’t look now, everyone can tell you’re an idiot.
@knightowl50 They should ban heading for young girls in that case yes. There is a famous ex International player called Gary Linekar who refused to head the ball his entire career because of CTE.
I once got a CTE like brain injury and it was the worst experience of my life and made me suicidal. I can only imagine what these pro athletes go through.
There is no honour in not growing with the times.
BaronVonBielski thanks for realizing that too
Bo Jackson is a hall of famer in our hearts and is all that matters
I feel like adrian Peterson is is the closest thing to bo Jackson in the sense of size strength brute force speed agility. Obviously Peterson wasn’t as fast but he did run a 4.3
Yeah he was but now Saquon Barkley took that spot no question.
iCanHearThem PERKYS CALLIN lol 🧢
Uhh how about derrick henry?
Kalim nah Derrick Henry is pretty much straight strength
Benjamin Vague right Derrick is more comparable to Eddie George big strong tall back who has some speed Peterson runs away and through guys
Who remembers bo Jackson in tecmo bowl???
Running laps around the field 🤣
Bro you’re cheating
😂😂😂💪🏻💪🏻
Imagine Lamar Jackson and Bo Jackson in the same backfield 😳😳😳😳
Use to make my little brother cry playing the game
I am 46 and Mr. Jackson is best/strongest all around athlete I’ve ever seen. Also, he is extremely humble and is the consummate gentleman as well. I wish today’s athletes would follow his lead..
I guess you've never seen Herschel Walker or Wilt Chamberlain?
Notice at 3:57 he says that athletes are bigger, stronger, and more intense. Usually guys say bigger, stronger, faster 😂😂 No one was as fast as Bo
6:30
From 89-95 I used to put ESPN on at 7am just to see Bo highlights !
James Tyler he didn’t lift weights dude, you’ve got no idea what you’re talking about
@James Tyler That's true when we can verify that the others they were beating were juicing, like with Lance Armstrong. In Bo's case, we can't.
steroids hit different in 2020
Not only was Bo the fastest guy on the field when he played, he would straight up truck dudes all the time.
As a Raider fan I've watched every snap he ever took and I've never seen anyone run someone over and almost not break stride, Bo has as many highlights running dudes over as he does long runs, forget about the Boz run that was nothing compared to many others where he lowered the boom!💥
"Truck" I haven't heard that in sooo long 💀😂💪
Like the time he about killed Mark Kelso
Darrell green..
@@lop6471 Green might catch him, but then get run over.
Best part
“Raise the door”
Killed it
He was the best athlete I ever saw. I was at the Seahawk Raider game that he ran over Bosworth. He was passing people like they were standing still. In retrospect, Bosworth did pretty good, that he was really trying to stop a missile!!!!! I am honored to have seen him play. Go Bo Go!!
I think Bo would of been the greatest running back of all time if he didn’t get hurt
I'd say to 3... Barry Sanders was the greatest pure runner. But Bo was phenomenal!
I respect that
Pats nation 4 life he still wouldn’t have been better that Barry Sanders, but Bo would’ve definitely been up there in the top 5
Yes Sir, he and Marion Motley both were sadly injured way too early, both were big 230 pound running backs, and both averaged over 5.4 yards per carry.
Same thing with Terrell Davis if he didn’t get hurt early, he was on pace to break all the records
This man is singularly the reason I’m a Raiders fan today. I was lucky to be a kid that was able to enjoy Bo in NFL and MJ in the NBA in the late 80s blowing everyone away.
Bo defines class and I love it; got so much respect for him, and I just hate his football career ended WAY too soon.
Bo was different, when he made that statement about opening the door I knew he wasn't lying 😂
Bo had the best 30 for 30 documentary! I've watched it at least 5 times!
same here
His quote I used to throw rocks!!
The U another great one
@@EzMoney95 the u is the thug 30 for 30
Deion is a close 2nd
when the Raiders had Bo and Marcus in the backfield - it was Perfection.
good times.
All was well with the world
You know deion sanders is going to have something to say about this ...lol
I think Deon would agree. Bo was as fast/faster than Deon, and so big & powerful!
Best pro athlete I had ever seen play, hands down.
@DeWayne Phillips 4.13 in his NFL scouting time... nuf said
yeah deion i think is alot faster. but bo was fast
@@Lucas-tj2qc Where is your proof? Bo's recorded NFL scout 40 time was faster... 4.12?... 4.13 according to him.
You can argue Deon was more agile, but hard to argue as fast, without the data.
Daniel Dietsche 40 speed is more acceleration than speed Deion might of been faster need to compare their 100 meter dash rather than 40
For being the best athlete the world has ever known, Bo is incredibly humble. What a great story to hear about his accomplishment for his mother trumps everything he did on the field.
How is he the greatest athlete the world has known?
@@sydboski
Wilt tho.
@@sydboskiI think the burden is on you there, not Bo.
@@JohnMegaton2062 The burden is on me to do what?
I waited on Bo back in the day. His first time in my section I treated him like a normal person. Someone came up to get his autograph and I cut the guy off and told him to sit down and not bother Bo. When I dropped off Bo's Ahi Tuna Salad he asked me why I did that. I told him he's just someone trying to have a peaceful lunch. He tipped me $100 on a $19 check and told me he would only sit with me from then on.
I waited on him for a year and a half until I left the restaurant. Turned out Bo was a real private guy and liked being to himself which made him happy that I kept people away from him. Over time we did get to talk but more about life instead of sports. On my last shift I just had to ask him if he knew why he was so good in Tecmo Bowl. He didn't so I told him the Japanese creator thought he was godlike and because of his man crush, he programmed him that way.
Overall one of the nicest guys I've ever met. But I'm really surprised to see this clip because being out in the open wasn't his thing 15 years ago. He did tell me that he ran a 4.13 in college and I remember laughing at him because I thought he was messing with me.
Definitely a man of few words but a true representation of class and dignity.
Mike Ratkiewicz Cool story bro. Blog it.
"Being out in the open wasn't his thing 15 years ago."
People don't want too much attention, but they don't want too little either.
@@EGarrett01 Depends in the person. Different people want different things.

Just me though.
@Purple Heart Scott
I don't know what you're talking about.
His likeness will never be seen again in our lifetime, I thank God I got to witness true greatness...
Bo Knows!! Dude is so direct and no nonsense! As a player, once showed up late to a Royals game because he stopped to help someone with a flat tire. He is legit and a role model!!
Producer in the guys ear when Bo is talking about concussions:
"Change the subject! Change the subject!"
Him saying he’s only had one concussion really means he’s had over 100. Especially being a running back then
Some people just have thicker skulls
theringmaster886 doesn’t matter their brains still shake in place
Those concussions dropped his 40 from a 4.4 to a 4.2 lol
Nah he was the one giving them concussions
@@Ismoked4451 beat me to it
Best athlete ever, and I met him at a food show a year after he retired in 95’. Talked with him for close to a half hour, and bought some of his power bars. One the nicest human beings as well. Humble and gracious, and a great role model for kids today.
Bo's first career MLB hit off Steve Carlton is a great example of his unique speed and acceleration. It was a grounder to second base that he beats out very easily. One of many wonderful highlights he left us all to marvel at. Every once in a while, an athlete comes along who doesn't need to lift weights or eat a specific diet (or use PEDs). They are just naturally gifted as they are. I think that was what Bo was.
The man was legit! I saw him in person several times when he played for the Royals, fastest human I've ever seen in person, and his size made it that much more impressive.
Jace Collins Think Darnell green was faster lokk it up in 10 fastest ever. NFL.
@@anthonychiulli7736 gtfo u don't know diddly
@@anthonychiulli7736 Darrell was faster but he was 5'8 175. Bo was 6'1 230
@@kimnora53
So what difference that makes. Darnell Green was the fastest in NFL. For years.
@@anthonychiulli7736 what part of their size difference don't you understand? It's harder to get more weight and mass moving than less. Especially in a short sprint like the 40.
A man Bo's size running a even a 4.2 40 is freaky.
Coming from a Bama fan, I love this guy and his genuine character
Me too, been a Bama fan my entire life, but Bo is my favorite player. It's a hard thing to cope with sometimes. Especially when he's on the sideline at Jordan-Hare when they're beating us. I hope Bear Bryant beat that assistant stupid for running him over to that shithole. Well, I hope he beat him smart, he was already stupid...
Roll Tide

Saw him play at Auburn when I was younger. The most gifted athlete to ever walk this planet, physical specimen. And an all around good man.
Never saw Bo get arrested..What a great human being..My favorite athlete ever.
You're not supposed to see him get arrested.
they'd never catch him in a foot chase
He will always be a Hall of Famer in my book 💪🏽
Talent-wise, yes, and possibly in both sports.
@@erad67 if only his body could withstand his athleticism. He would be the undisputed best athlete of all time, no question.

@Thank You 3000 in a sport only played in one country???
@Thank You 3000 yes, so good that nobody else plays it
@@jakegraham3758 Definitely the most gifted US pro athlete I have ever seen. Pro Bowl in NFL, and MLB All Star, in his short career.
Physically he was on another level.
Him and Wilt Chamberlain were non human tbh they both could play any sport both freakishly strong and fast
Bo is so cool when he mentioned his mother his voice cracked just like all our voices sound when we mentioned our mother
It's weird that they didnt keep records of the 40 back then considering the fact that guys were slower so to see a fast guy you'd just have to keep a record of it.
They didn't have computers back then.
Summa random scouts probably recorded it. But why would anybody save that for years.
@@jamisojo Geez, wasn't the dark ages! I had a computer back then and we were FAR from wealthy. They might not have used one, but they existed then.
Well if you listen to Bo's story you would see that he didn't run this at the combine. It seems to have been run at Auburn at an impromptu combine set up by the coaches of Auburn for the athlete's to perform for scouts
They have been keeping records for the Olympics since 1897. If they wanted to, there would have been some kind of record or some documentation of the event. I think it is a bunch of malarkey. Bo did not run 4.1 anything legitimately.
What A gentleman. This is the type of man you call Sir.
Bo Jackson is the only person Chuck Norris tips his hat to.
Him and Bruce Lee and deion
And Schatzi
Burt Reynolds would like a word
Negative. He'd never tip his hat to a blm
The fact that he ran that fast is amazing enough but remember he was 230 pounds!
Yeah I'm not buying it considering nobody has ever come close to that especially at that size. You put up in frame to frame race with the fastest guy now and he'd beat them by a couple steps which is not even humanly possible as no one person is that faster than the rest of society. I don't think people realize how big of a difference he's talking from the next fastest guy. He wasn't correctly electronically time I can guarantee you that it as the NFL switched to this method about 15 years ago I and the times have all gotten slower but they're more accurate now. This is one of those urban legends stories that keep growing as the years go by
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 the time might be a little different, but I doubt we've seen anybody much faster than him since then.
Obviously Olympic sprinters are faster, so it's certainly not unheard of.
Darrel Green was really fast also.
@@arthurfonzarelli9828
If you have never seen Bo Jackson in real life, you would never understand.
Even just LOOKING at him in a baseball uniform, the guy was physically SCULPTED.
Not sculpted by weight lifting. Bo Jackson NEVER LIFTED WEIGHTS.
Let me say that again. He looks like a bodybuilder, but he NEVER LIFTED WEIGHTS.
The only athlete who comes close to looking at impressive as him is Vernon Davis, but Davis is a product of weight training.
I think Bo's naturally strong muscle fiber made him one-of-a-kind.
@@brianoflaherty6190 I grew up watching bo jackson and the hype and legend behind him keeps getting bigger as the years go by. The guy was no doubt a great two sport athlete but his production in both sports on field was nothing to get exicted about. His best hitting years he was in the .250s in mlb and if I'm not mistaken he never had 1,000 yard season in NFL. Individually some highlight reel movements for sure but overall production was way hype than substance. Ali that aside the Whole point here though is this 40 time thing and it is simply not true or even close to being so. I'm an expert on the 40 from 30 years of following the draft at extremely close levels. My above comment explains all of it better. Jackson wasn't even anything more than an average college sprinter. Not claiming bo is lying either but those back in those days didn't have close to accurate testing methods and mistakes were made. Not sure how I can put this into context but what they are saying here is equal to someone now running a 3.9 forty or so which we all know isn't possible or those of us who understand how this works.
@@brianoflaherty6190 The Fonz is right. Bo's 40 is a myth. Sprinter Christian Coleman is the quickest starter in history. He has the quickest first 30m ever recorded at 3.77. He ran an NFL style 40 on turf and semi automatically timed in 4.12. He also is the world record holder in the 60m dash at 6.34. His 100m dash best is 9.76 whereas Bo's is 10.44. Csn you see where this is going? I have more if you want.
I respect this mans honesty and humility
Honesty? He did not run 4.12 or 4.13.
Getting a new artificial hip then coming back to play in the MLB.I mean how something like that you can recover from is there anyone have done that before getting a crucial bone structure replaced a career ending injury and then able to function normally would be a major accomplishment but return to play pro baseball again it’s really something just the best Athlete of his generation.
Bo knows. 👌
Joey Galloway's 4.18 goes unnoticed.
True. Just like Taylor Mays' 4.24
LaBounti I know, weird
LaBounti I’ve seen a dude personally run a 4.26
E. J. Banks Taylor Mays was a massive disappointment in the nfl that’s why
E. J. Banks Taylor Mays was mistimed did actually you watch the combine or what ?
Best athlete I've seen in 63 yrs.
Not even close, absolutely the most overrated player of all time.
@@Maverick4841 I agree. Over rated. He was a good athlete but he was no Earl Campbell or Eric Dickerson
@@enlightenedwarrior7119 He was a good man, but people talk like he was the greatest ever. Not sure why, I saw him play and he was a good RB, but not a Legend. Fact is he never even broke 1000 yards rushing in a season. SMH.

He’s a Hall if Famer to me
That also applies to his family life and commitment to his wife and kids.
Yes especially if these half-hearted athletes with partial careers like Dwight howard get in the NBA Hall..
But for the NFL, I don't think Bo will or should get in -
Roger Craig was the first 1000 yd rusher + 1000 yd receiver in a single season - he was ahead of his time, the premonition of Marshall Faulk, and all these backs today who catch passes like Kamara, McCaffery etc...
not as "highlight"-worthy was Bo .... sometimes Hall of Famers just keep giving you quality and hard work year after year without the big Nike Ad campaigns and sportscenter highlights...... But Roger didn't get in the Hall this year.... again.
He probably never will - despite winning a Super Bowl without Jerry Rice and being such an important rusher who I think never missed a practice in his entire career. That's how durable Roger was....
During a violent era of defense, that's saying a lot.
So if Roger doesn't get in, as much as I'd love it , I don't think Bo should get in.... and Bo said " I didn't play sports to get in the Hall of Fame". That's great that he's at peace not being in either Hall of Fame.
🙋🏾♂️ ME TOO !
Bo Jackson is our modern day Alien.....Super Human in ever sense. His mom told him his gift was not to be wasted but shared with the world. My 6th grade book report on Bo Jackson till this day impacted me.
If he hadn't gotten hurt in a playoff game in 1991, he would've been in the football 🏈 HOF 1st ballot
One of the top 3 greatest athletes of the last 50 years. Dude was incredible
lemme fix that for you, he is the GREATEST athlete of all time, no one will ever compare to bo
He's there, but Wilt Chamberlain is amazing also. He was a track guy at 7'1", the most dominant basketball player ever and turned into dominant volleyball player.
@@powerboatguy2308yep it’s Bo and Wilt as the two at the top then everyone else way behind. Here’s a thing about comparing modern athletes to these guys. Modern athletes do nothing but work out, run, have personal trainers working with them every day, nutritionists feeding them every meal, trainers who know how to help their bodies recover and stay strong, you name it. Bo didn’t lift weights. Wilt lifted weights but was naturally strong. Neither guy had a team of nutritionists, trainers, doctors, working with them every day to maximize their natural abilities. The difference is Bo and Wilt got out of bed as physical freaks and guys today work 24/7/365 to become them. If those two men were born today with all the advancements we have now in exercise science, nutrition, muscle recovery, general healthcare, supplements…it would be unbelievable what they could do.
How is it fair that Bo Jackson is such a fine human being...kind, insightful, intelligent AND a once a century athlete?
Not a once in a century athlete.

Great man , Salute Mr. Jackson.
Grew up watching his career as it unfolded from the beginning to the end as a lot of people did...and he is TOO modest...he is right, players are bigger maybe faster...some.. .but he played in the REAL NFL... as did great quarterbacks that do not need an asterisk next to their name as far as I am concerned...the progression of safety awareness is GREAT in this day and age as we see now the long term effects of sports injuries...nonetheless...alot of these players in todays NFL ( quarterbacks, including the "Almighty Brady" and receivers ) would not last a week in the NFL of past..not a knock on them obviously I am not some pro player, they are talented and work hard but there was a viciousness to the game of old and would have "broken" most of these players today...sorry for the rant ...back to BO JACKSON....BO CAN DO ANYTHING!!
Can you imagine trying to tackle a 6'0 230 pound man coming at you running a 4.13?
Check out his highlights if you want to see how that turns out. And those are big, strong players he trucks.
@@morehamsandwich Yup.
"I wouldn't really consider the things I did "highlights" cause I been doing them ever since I was a kid." That's so badass
Bo is the epitome of class so I want to make my point in an imploring rather than confrontational manner: A 4.13 is completely at odds with his track and field times. He ran track at Auburn-we hear him say in this interview that he was on his way to Track practice-but his best 100 meter times were a 10.38 (wind aided) and a 10.43 legal. These are really fast times but NO WHERE NEAR 4.13 40 yard dash fast. And I realize a 40 yard and a 100 meter dash are different, but if you get out to a start equal to a 4.13 second 40 yard dash you don't fatigue to the point of a 10.38 100 meters. No way! I know he's not lying so I suspect either they measured 40 yard incorrectly or it was a case of faulty timing. Again, I don't mean to stir up trouble for the sake of it: Bo was quite possibly the greatest all-around athlete in the history of sports! But this 4.12 and now 4.13 40 yard dash claim I've been hearing about in various forms for over 3 decades or so doesn't pass the logic test for me.
I agree
6’0” 225 lbs. running a 4.13 40. BO!!!!!!
His 40 is a myth.
sydboski you are a legit hater
@@Kozy_2kclips Not a hater a realist. I am actually a Raider fan. I loved seeing Bo run over other teams. But he never ran 4.12 or 4.13. He just was not that quick.
sydboski if he didn’t appear that quick people wouldn’t have a hard time contemplating if this was true or not and I have legit seen you on every comment down grading bo so yes you do classify as a hater
@@Kozy_2kclips People in general are not very bright. He appears fast because he was fast. You and every one else who believes he ran that quick don't know what it really is to run that quick. I have not been down grading Bo. All I have said was that he never ran 4.13 or 4.12 in the 40. If you would like to debate the facts and evidence then by all means lets do so. I tell the truth and I deal in facts and logic. If you have any of that to present then let's have it.
Its, 2020 and kids are bigger, faster and stronger....and Bo Jackson is still one of a kind.....
You can tell he’s not lying too
I guess I should go watch “Concussion”
We've compared athletes to one another but never have I heard or seen anyone compare to BO JACKSON
What about Herschel Walker?
Techno bowls finest 🐐
@A.C. B. ART tec mo son
He ran a 4.13 !!!
Christian Coleman ran a 4.12
I just finish watching Bo Jackson highlights at Auburn and I'm convinced there have never been and there will never be another Bo Jackson!
You now need to go watch Herschel Walker at Georgia. Then make a descision
Deion sanders ran a 4.20
No a 4.27
He basically set the trend for that stat
S l o w m o 😂
Nice.
Gray Gale that was Leon Sandcastle I know they look similar but come on
War eagle, the best back ever if I had to have one
The greatest athlete of all time. Bo is 12 years younger than me, and I got a chance to see him play both sports on TV. Deion Sanders, played baseball but he wasn't a baseball player. Bo was a really two sport star. To brighten your day, Google RUclips, Bo Jackson throws out Harold Reynolds at home plate. One of the most incredible outfield to home plate throws ever recorded. (Thank God for RUclips which allows us to re-live these great moments, over and over again.)
Greatest of all time by what criteria?
I wish I had a mom that made me want to hit home runs for her. My mom was a mean @ss alcoholic.
Bo knows Brain's
I played and saw a lot of baseball. At the Kingdome in Seattle I saw him hit the hardest ball I have ever seen. Line drive, straight line, over the centerfield fence into the batting background no change of altitude. As he circled the bases, the crowd was stunned silent
🐐
Imagine being one of those scouts with a stopwatch and looking down and seeing "3.90" I wouldnt think it was real
Because it wasn't real. The whole story is a Myth.
sydboski source?
@@eddie8847 Well I just look at the facts or what I can prove.
No o e can name anyone at this so called run because there are no records of anyone being there. All you have is Bo's story. No one reported this because for 30 years it was believed that it was done at the combine in New Orleans. It was only reported by one news paper in 1986. In a small article in the USA today. That's it. What happended to all the players, coaches, scouts, and reporters at the actual combine? For 30 years no one has said a thing. You'd think someone would have come forward and said, "Hey, Bo was never ever at the combine." Nothing like that ever happened. Then suddenly Bo does an interview and says he never went to New Orleans. But for 30 years it was 4.12 at the combine. Now we supposedly have a second group of people that no one knows but Bo. No one reported this run. The news papers did not reoport this run. 4.13 was not in existence til Bo did the interview. Everyone is going off of Bo's story. There is nothing to collaborate this myth, so Bo can say what ever he wants.
Bo's times at other distances do not point to him being 4.13 quick.
Bo: 50m 5.78. 100m 10.44.
Harvey Glance: 50m 5.73. 60m 6.64 100m 10.03
Christian Coleman 60m 6.34WR. 100m 9.76 6th fastest of all time. Coleman also ran an NFL style 40 in 4.12 semi automatic timing. Harvey Glance, Bo's teammate at Auburn who Bo admittedly said he had to "chase" at track practice. Chase meaning Bo was behind him. 50m is only 14.5 yards more thst 40yds. You want to believe that Bo could hang stride for stride with the world's fastest starter in history for 40 yards then be blown away By Coleman and over taken and beaten by a considerable distance by Glance in 14.5 yards? It is not possible. Did you know Bo has a 4.1 in the 30 yard run from home plate to 1st base and that some baseball players were timed faster? Cmon man. Bo's 40 is a complete myth.
There are holes in Bo's story also.
What a player.. in everything he did/does. Wish he had a better interviewer. Bo shows humility. She could learn a lesson when she interviews .
I’ve never heard of this show? What’s it on ESPN 5?
He didn’t get a 4.13. Impossible.
Yeah I’d have to see it. That big and fast he’d be moving like an alien
If Bo wouldn’t have gotten injured… he would have retired as the all time rushing leader, he was the complete package, the 🐐
No way because he would playing baseball too but he would be in both sports HOF
Bo would never beat Darrell Green in a race period.
Wrong
@@ShoTymea record 4x winner of the NFLs fastest man contest and beat carl lewis in 1991in the worlds fastest athlete competition says I'm right😎..
@Florida is not Detroit Eric Dickerson knows what's up
@@collin355 How many times did he beat Bo head to head?
Zero.
So we have no proof.
And yes, Darrel was very very very fast.
@@collin355 Green wonnthe competition but he did not win the 100m event.
