Bo Jackson so legendary he makes Deion - for a brief moment - humble.
Factz!💯
Deion is humble. He’s just a marketing guru. Self made. Not in the he era of social media Deion marketed himself as well as showed and proved.
@@dougieb4286 Deion is a marketing guru. Deion is self-made. Deion was an incredible football player AND is an incredible human being. But Deion is not humble. And that is ok.
Max Feigenbaum it sis ok but that doesn’t mean he’s not humble. He went to JSU. Not for money, not for fame but for kids and my people.
And dude, seriously, I got nothing but respect for Deion. But the man was over-the-top cocky. And, again, that is ok. It just happens to also be a fact.
If Bo Jackson stayed healthy for both baseball and football he might've been a bigger sports legend than Michael Jordan. No joke. People AND sports fans loved him.
W
greenmean1 Q. How do you get Michael Jordan to quit playing baseball?
A. Kill his mom.
Such an insensitive joke but I ALWAYS laughed at it.
greenmean1 yes he does...like all the time. It's really starting to bother me.
At Bo's peak he was as big as Jordan. Maybe bigger. Everyone back then knew, Bo Knows.
Bo don't know Diddly!
I had no idea that Sanders has such a sense of humor...great delivery, perfect dead-pan. And Bo...just wow. Without the injury, Bo would have been in the baseball Hall of Fame and probably the NFL HoF as well.
+John Welch Primes great. He comes out with it. I remember watching the Falcons and the Bucs 2 years ago. The Falcons were up 30 by half, and all the other anchors were doing their thing to make you not change the channel. Saying things like they could comeback if....Sanders was the only one that said...we've got 30 more minutes before we can get up out of here. Shit cracked me up.
@Matt Beeman I would imagine there is not a sane football player that played during Bo's era that would not say that he was one of the best they had ever seen play the game. Frankly, the man superseded description and stats.
@Matt Beeman That's because missed 6-7 games a season playing baseball. He averaged 5.4 yards per carry.
@Matt Beeman lmao are you kidding, the NFL hall would be NOTHING for a healthy Bo. The even crazier thing though, is that he was an even better baseball player than people gave him credit for. Would've went down as the best defensive CF ever, and his swing was SWEET
NFL HOF probably a sure thing. Very doubtful he'd make the MLB HOF. His .250 career average would have been a problem, he wasn't a defensive standout despite the two- or three-catch highlight reel that keeps being beaten into our heads. He relied a lot on his speed and that would have started to disappear after the first third of his career. And, remember, we're not talking about Herschel Walker here. Bo was NOT going to get any lighter or faster. A one-time all-star whose best finish in the MVP race was 10th.
"You know, curl, looked wet, but it was . . . dryyyyy." I love Deion.
I like Deion but it's safe to say he never attempted another tackle after this traumatic experience
Its funny because its true...I loved Deion Sanders but he couldn't tackle his way out of a paper bag...but you better not throw on his side because he will pick it off
David Wray
name a big tackle he missed. a single one.
Richard William Guilmette name one he made.
*****
True that...
***** he's made a few you just gotta be the right size tho.
Remember Bo in Tecmo Bowl? Could not stop him.
+pugilist102 Dickerson either. Walter Payton ran well as well, so did Roger Craig. Bo was like playing with a cheat code though.
Most unstoppable character in video game history. Virtually impossible to stop.
Barry Sanders was a beast to in that game too (probably second to bo)...oh and all the guys with 81 strength or whatever...when they got their status to excellent, they'd buck everyone and run them over. It was so fun just running down field watching bodies pop up off the running back. Brad Muster, Anderson, Okoye were my favorites to do that with..
But nobody, I mean no body beat bo in that game. Bo was so fast in that game, by the time the blitz got to the line of scrimmage bo was 20 yards down field LOL. He was literally the only running back in that game who could run through the blitz every time and not get touched.
MagicLM
Herschel Walker used to truck guys too
vsmith3rd
Michael Vick in Madden 2004 was pretty unstoppable too
Deon is the kind of man where he can talk about getting stiffed by Bo, and it doesn't take 1 ounce away from his magnificent career. Deon is a class act.
It’s no shame...Bo was running through lineman, Prime didn’t have a chance lol
Right
Didn't Bo Jackson push Brian Bosworth 10 yards into the end zone?
Bo and I grew up together and bo took up for me, he was tough AF. Bo would wear ankle weights and still out run me. Bessemer Al proud here!
I like him best when he is more Deion Sanders and not the Prime routine.
"I'm shure he does!" made me laugh out loud 😂 I love Deion Sanders!
Bo Jackson wasn't human. They only reason he got injured on that one tackle. Was because the linebacker had soaked his hands in kryptonite juice before the game. Thereby negating his super human qualities.
+David Stewart Haha he was literally running so fast the force of his momentum ripped his knee (I think) out
+Mac Smith it was his hip. But yeah it's crazy to think that his career ended because he ran too fast.
+Mac Smith I dislocated his hip. When he rolled over to get up he rolled on the same hip and it popped back into place and broke a blood vessel causing more problems. Than he got up and walked off the field as if a simply and a minor strain or sprain.
+famguy9 Actually the damage to his hip was caused by overtraining. After the hit, his deep hip rotators were testing weak due to muscle spasm but the physical therapist incorrectly told him that he needed to isolate and strengthen them. Bo being Bo, he decided to train the muscles 10x harder than the PT recommended and ended up making them so hypertonic that they cut off the blood supply to his hip and caused necrosis of the tissue. All he needed was some targeted massage therapy to stop the spasms and he would have probably had a long career.
famguy9
I picked the ball off to seal the game, you should be running the clip of that right now LOL I died. Deion is the man!
I mean...they should have.
PRIME!!!!!
It’s easy to intercept when he pushed the receiver (Freddy Weygan) to the turf. Cheater.
@@BigstickNick They really should. He's been doing this for a minute.
Missed PI, horrible no call. AU should have won.
It honestly gives me chills to imagine what would've happened if Bo had never gotten injured. He had the potential to be one of the all time great running backs, if not the greatest running back ever, and also could've been a MLB hall of famer as well.
If it hadn’t been for pride, the man should’ve just stuck with baseball. He could’ve had one of the lengthiest and most decorated MLB careers in history.
He is the greatest rb ever. Short career or not.
Bos best season he avg 88 yards a game. really not even CLOSE to what you are claiming, about GOAT status
and he had 3 really long runs that people over hype, he had again 3 big runs, thats it, its not like he did that every game, he did it once in 3 of 4 seasons
@@RushFanatic87 Not really. He was a better football player than baseball.. He would have had a solid MLB career but prolly not HoF. He could have legit been a HoF running back.
Curl looked wet. But it was dry. 😂 LOVE Prime!!! LOVE Bo!!! Excellent era in both football and baseball thanks to those two!! Players today don’t compare. In either sport.
Bo was THE man, Deion was just 1 more straight-arm victim in a loooong list.
Deion went on too do great things in both sports he participated in
Lets be honest here, everyone in the parking lot playing football was pretending to be primetime man haha not bo......but he was a beast for sure. Sanders went on to destroy legends
G est comment of all time
@@marked4death076 nah, bo was way bigger at the time
@@marked4death076 Where did you grow up? EVERYBODY wanted to be Bo playing football growing up.
looked wet but it was "dry" .. classic
evvrrl what does that mean
@@tigerfan7349 Deion had that Soul Glo going on.
Myron Woodson You could have just answered my man's question
I almost threw up a lung on dat one!!🤣🤣🤣😭😭
@@grizzlyboys3234 Type up "Soul Glow"
Its almost like primetime is a completely different entity when Deion talks about him. I love that he keeps it going even after all of these years.
Bo and Deion two best athletes ever. They were both superstars in multiple sports. Bo did it with humility and Deion did it with swagger. Now you know why so many people loved Bo.
DS's lifetime MLB batting average was ..263. Respectable, but; hardly a number to qualify as "superstar."
Bo, with the exception of his final season when he only played 75 games, struck out more times than games played. He was never a 30-30 guy with 32 homeruns being the most he hit in a season. He did lead the league in strikeouts more than one season
Sorry. None of that deserves a bust in Cooperstown.
No one can mess with Bo when it comes to all time greatest athletes
***** thank you. Walker is another level. And that's saying a lot.
Katelin Kent Have you heard of Jim Brown?
+AMUR1CA yes, and
No one can mess with Bo when it comes to all time greatest athletes
+Katelin Kent John Elway was the #1 overall pick for both NFL and MLB. Not saying he truly is more athletic than Bo, but I think its worth noting. As we all know, Elway did NOT play baseball.
as far as RB's goes,Bo Jackson's is probably one of the strongest and fastest of all time. it wasn't fair to some players that he was so fast and that strong at the same dang time. Bo jackson changed the game!
"we not gettin sam jackson anytime soon"
wittier than most comedians
"I was Prime, ya know, curl, looked wet but it was, drryyyyyy." Lol.
Nah, people were making those jokes already. That wasn’t his original thought.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No, we got a communist in American clothing instead...
I can see that...
“Enough is enough! I’m sick and tired of this MFing corruption in this MFing White House!”
Bo was the best 'athlete' I've ever seen, in any sport.
Why you putting athlete in quotation marks? Doesn’t make sense
I like to think I would beat Bo in a game of badminton or figure skating contest.
Deion edges him. To be the best ever at his position all while playing THE hardest position in the NFL. Bo was never deemed the goat of his position. And unfortunately his career was plagued with injuries.
I guess you've never seen Herschel Walker.
@@sydboski yes, I've seen Hershel, did you see Bo?
When he said y’all should be playing the clip 😂
Never forget when Bo struck out once. Had the bat on top of his helmet walking back to the dugout, just pulled down on it, and just snapped it in half. Ash bat. Like something you would see on a worlds strongest man contest.
Bat was already cracked but still crazy
He struck out all the time. It was the only category he ever led the league in.
Those 2 did some amazing things on the baseball field as well. I remember seeing Deion hit a bloop 'single' down the right field line. By the time the right fielder got the ball back to the infield, Deion was standing on 3rd base. He looked like Road Runner going around the bases.
"You should be running the clip while im talking about this right now" 😂
I love how Deion qualifies it. "Prime was a freshman, about 160. Bo was Bo. Bout 225-235." "I had to run across the field to get him. I caught him." Then he makes the stiff-arm motion. Deion making it sound like Bo didn't do that to everyone he encountered at every level
LOL, I never saw Deion Sanders ever tackle anyone, could you imagine him trying to tackle Bo Jackson?
Even Tony Romo said Deion didn’t like to tackle anyone. That didn’t sit too well with Mr. Sanders. I guess the truth hurts.@@thegrinch7989
"Jheri curl looked wet but, it was dry" 😂😂😂
Mine was wet and flammable! Yikes.
Where's the video? When Neon Deion says play the video you play the fucking video.
Exactly!!!
+Bullet Tooth Tony it'd here on you tube
Prime is hilarious in this interview and good for him to take the humble road on the Bo jobbie. Bo Jackson w btw was outlawed at my Tecmo Bowl Parties!
Classic prime. The confidence...The swagger....& lastly the ability to back it all up on the field. Both he & Bo were two of the best athletes ever to lace up cleats. Shame we were cheated in seeing Bo reach his full potential.
Bo getting injured is my worst memory from all of sports. When your team loses, there's always next year. There was no next year, and Bo wasn't the only one to lose out, the fans lost out. We were all robbed of some incredible entertainment which never came to be.
Add Barry Sanders in there and that is the trifecta. Still haven't seen anybody as good as any of those three. They just constantly did things that amazed you, and there really hasn't been many since then that were like that, and none that really just stick in my mind like they did. Any time they touched the ball it was almost electric
It looked wet but it was...dry. Only a man would admit that!
Haha
Follow da drip follow da drip
He called himself "Frime" and said Bo was Bo. ! Prime clever, real wittty
Lol
Prime Time is still a character to this day. You gotta love him & his dry curl 😂😂😂🤗
Prime don't use no Soul-Glo.
"My job was to go get Bo....
I went and got Bo....
...and Bo......"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Deion keeps it funny and real at the same time
Ran 4.2 at 235 lbs. Nuts.
And he ran to track practice right after
Dumb!!
@@REYisKING 4.13
I was at football camp with Bo Jackson and at 15 years old he was the fastest player there. He ran the 100 meters in just under 10 seconds.
Dion was incredibly fast, but Bo is one of the greatest athletes of all time
No doubt imo Top 5 athletes all time just wish he had bit more time on the fields of play.
@@luish777 Bo is a way better athlete but one of the biggest "what if comparisons" to him of all-time is Mickey Mantle. But Mantle didn't injury himself to the heart crushing devastating level of Bo. But for as great as mantle was and his accomplishments were, he could have went down as possibly the best ever if it wasn't for an early injury (and alcoholism further exasperated because of injury) We never truly got to see how good Bo truly could have been. Some of the stories and feats about him have gone down as legends. I've never seen anybody break a bat the way Bo could. Strength, power, speed, agility, he literally was the complete package on a beyond epic scale.... And he was just as good in both sports. Dion was a way better cornerback than he was a baseball player, good ball player though.
Deion is one of the greatest athletes of all time as well as Bo. Deion was more than just fast
@@reginaldjiles4759 He isn't Bo and it's not even close. Jackson was bigger stronger and faster. To this day it's Bo that still holds the record in the 40 yard dash in the NFL not Deon. Before injury it was Bo who was one of the best players in box leagues. Deon could never say that. Baseball, he was a good player but never great. Bo had all 5 tools and had an absolute cannon for a arm Deon had two at best. Still I don't think there's any argument that Prime is the best cover corner of all-time. Bo just had once in a multi generation genetic ability that there's around 4 athletes in the last 100 years you can compare him to, one being Jim Brown. There is no bigger what if in all of sports than Bo Jackson.
I'm sure most here have seen it, but if not, you should watch the 30 for 30 on Bo Jackson. One of the best sport's docs i have seen.
facts
Bo stiffed me. he palmed my face mask he did all of that LOOLL. Deion a funny dude.
i thinkhe s kix too,,he said in another interview that bo put his hand on his facemask as if he was praying for him
He will not bring it up no, cause hes professional xD
no i'm a alien.
Jessica Sims Do me.
+Terry Hesticles thirsty bitch ass
"You think he remembers that?" *look* "I'm sure he does."
Being stiff armed by Bo Jackson is such an honor
Mike: "You and Bo Jackson, two of the greatest athletes ever"
Prime: "I agree with that "
Bo may just be the greatest athlete in my lifetime. Moves like Sweetness, power like Brown and speed like Allen...freak!
Gotta throw Herschel Walker in that mix too... That cat's built like a damn super hero in his FIFTIES~~~
He shouldbe put in the both the baseball and NFL Hall of Fame just because he was so extraordinary and career ended early by injury. The numbers that he had while he played were amazing.
What was so extraordinary about Bo's football 38 game career?
Bo Jackson was freakin' awesome. One of the world's greatest athletes. Ever.
I love watching n listening to Prime! Hes a showman off the field as he was on. Speaks well and highly intelligent, funny!
It's always amazing when Deion refers to himself "Prime" in the 3rd person. Bo Jackson is Legendary. Deion is as well in his own right. But once and a while theres that someone that just well...
BoKNOWS.
"Prime Time Neon Deion" was the best cover corner I've ever seen....but BO was DAT DUDE!
Deion a stand up dude! Lol. I was and still am a huge Bo Jackson fan. I'm a big 9er fan but he made me fall in love with DA Raiders! Thanks to Bo I am now a Raider and a 9er fan for life! Lol
***** when you beat the hawks when it matters then you are allowed to comment and btw when was your last sb win and when did you EVER beat down the best offense of all time so bad in a champ game??..thats what i thought...now you can stfu punk
***** The only historic thing in the KC area is KU basketball. Chiefs and Royals had their moments but the Jayhawks are immortal IMO.
Hot Box Houston ..
David Brutus lol 42-7 AGAINST THE RAMS
You can't be a fan of both teams
Just watched both of those clips (Dion's interception and Bo stiff-arming Dion). Both pretty good moments in college football. Dion was good, no doubt. But Bo was the man.
Deion’s sense of humor is crazy! He said we not gone get Samuel L. Jackson no time soon! 😂
1:30 is when he actually starts talking about being stiff-armed by Bo
"We ain't gon get Samuel Jackson no time soon." 😂😂
We'd have been 100 x better off with Samuel.
that's the moment deion started making "business decisions"..
Bruh said we got a black president😂😂

Half black
Lies, ...... He was ...... HALF ..... Black.
‘We don’t bring things like that up’ - Primetime
Vincent Edward "BO" Jackson... 6'1" 240 lbs running a sub 4.15 40 yd dash....of course he ran over CBs. Hell look what he did to "The Boz"!!!! Bo combine the size, power and athleticism of Marcus Dupree and Herschel Walker, but was FASTER than BOTH!!!!!
Bo was only 225
JP Kinsella point taken. But I bet it felt like 280 when you tried to tackle him. Lol
Bo and Jim Brown-the 2 greatest all around athletes of the 20th century-really unfortunate that Bo suffered what amounted to a career ending injury on fall after a routine tackle-nobody could catch Bo from behind and Brown, although not as blazingly fast, could only be caught by defenders who would have no chance of bringing him down-sort of like a barking dog catching a car
fyafyta390
In the 40yd dash but not the 100. Big Hershel ran a 10.30 100 meters at the NCAA's 1981, got beat by Carl Lewis. Bo never clocked a faster 100 time.
Deion's funny. And he was a REALLY good player. I mean the man made an impact on offense, defense, and special teams. He did everything but coach lol. So you can be a little cocky when you proved yourself
jonathan bailey he did coach on a Pro Bowl team.
And he was a decent baseball player to boot.
He allowed his team to put more resources toward covering No. 1 receivers while he covered all those No. 2s. That's value.
Bo, Deion, and Herschel are some human history’s most athletic people to ever live.
Despite Bo Jackson's injury, he's still the greatest RB ever and would have broken every record
Primetime the greatest lmao this video had me dying
Bo Jackson - the greatest athlete in professional sports ever.
Never realized how funny Dion is 😂
Bo knows, and we should never forget. That man had more raw talent, power, and skill, than most 3 guys put together. My son was born long after he hung up his cleats, but I made sure he KNOWS as well.
Bo was always humble. Seems like he passed a bit on to Dion. The hard way.
Both are great athletes.
a lot of people had encounters like that with BO JACKSON.
James Walker not really, maybe in high school ? Dude never played more than 8 games in an NFL season. He doesn’t even have 3000 career rushing yards
And then there's the ones who got a shoulder... But they still can't remember that hit
@@Ijustinsultedyou you troll... All Stars from two sports call him the greatest athlete.
Robert Palmer the only one that ever called him the greatest was Miss Palmer.... actually she screamed it !
No matter how good any player of any sport, they all respect Bo Jackson.
I love how Deon was bald by 2014 and in 2019 he has a full head of hair
Lmao he got the hair transplant he openly admits it
@@carlanotny8594 😂😂😂😂
@@carlanotny8594 that ain't no hair transplant, its a wig he got, just like lebum
@@luvtotrade2009 he went to a known clinic, you can't run your hair through a spray on
Deion is almost always hilarious and entertaining in his interviews. Lol! Bo made plenty of defensive players look bad,even the great ones.
Bo was so great, had he been born later and played today, people would accuse him of PEDs. He was unnatural. He broke a lot of records in just the short time he played, I get goosebumps and even a little sad thinking what he could of done with a 15 year career in any sport. There are hall of fame legends that will tip their hat and admit they were lucky to have just been on the same field with Bo Jackson.
you can't just do something simple like take PEDs and be what Bo was. He was a genetic freak, in a good way. The scouts rated him a '10' in every category.
1983 I was a Sr at FIU playing 3rd base on a road trip against Auburn. Cleanup man, big black guy comes up to plate and hits a seed to me. I fielded cleanly and threw a rope to first base. He was barely out by half a step. Later that evening I learned that it was Bo Jackson. Best athlete in the world.
"I had an encounter with Bo!" 😂🤣😂🤣
My favorite Deon story is him coming back from some injury, the doctor or trainer informing him when asked about his readiness that "he'd be okay for the game, provide he didn't take a real good hit".
"Then I'll be fine", said Neon, "I never really hit anybody anyway".
Lem Barney was Deon Sanders decades before Deon Sanders, only he HIT people, and threw himself like a bowling ball into pulling guards and TEs two at a time, so the teammate behind him could make the tackle.
Deon is funnier by a stretch and a good story teller when he isn't with his partner Marshall Faulk--like two giggly school kids talking over the straight guy, mumbling jokes to one another--not very professional, but funny gets mixed in there.
They were talking the other day about CJ?K, Marshall saying he was done, basically (all off camera, while film rolled), and Deon sort of spoke up for him, gave him some cover, "He can still run", and Marshall said, "I can still run", or play, etc. Deon said something about Marshall's knee, and they backed and forthed, then he said, "Your knee so bad, when I look at it, my knee hurt".
"history can not predicate what is going to take place." Deon...what?
think he meant predict-
jerry goldfarb
most likely
***** thank you lol Bo also was a great palmist stiff arming Deion.
Ichimar486 Brilliant!
It made perfect sense
You should be running the clip while I'm saying this ROFL 🤣
LOL "Curl looked wet, but it ws dry".
And that was the last time Deion Sanders attempted to tackle a running back in run support. I believe that was when the term "cover corner" came to be known.
I'm laughing right now. SO true. Already typed it above, but my fave Deon story is the question he asks his doc/team trainer regarding his readiness to play with whatever injury, being told "you should be fine, so long as you don't take a direct hit again there".
"That's okay", says Deon, "I don't really hit anybody anyway".
One day kids will read about the legend of Bo Jackson the way we do of Paul Bunyan and John Henry.
Lol I concur
Sorry but that occurred already ;) the stories of Bo coming up were Paul Bunyan esq already.
Watch the Bo knows Bo 30 for 30, they discuss all the stories
On top of being a fright train,he is reputed to have run a 4.12 40 yard dash,snapped baseball bats like twigs,try breaking a bat over your thigh,Bo was absolute freak of nature!!
Jim Thorpe is the perhaps the ultimate standard for great athlete.
Jim Brown was also a great athlete. Besides his obvious greatness in football, he was the best Lacrosse player of his time. He was also a good college level basketball player and he even finished 5th at the Olympics qualifier for the Decathalon (the best standard for all around athletic ability).
Deon is humble as ever!
His best season ever was in SF.
He was simply amazing.
bo was all that and a bag of the wavvvviest lays
It really was a privilege watching both of them play
"We not going to get Samuel Jackson no time soon" Dion kicking that knowledge😅😅😭😭
To all these people dissing Deion's tackling, you got to remember that Deion was a pure coverage corner, not that big, not that strong. What he did posses was the best footwork in the NFL next to Barry Sanders and Jerry Rice, along with blazing speed. It wasn't like he was a strong side bump and run corner like Rod Woodson. Deion was out there to neutralize the best wide out on the field, not to tackle or cover the strong side like a traditional strong side corner. You know what I never really liked the guy all that much and found him to be annoying as hell but he is bar none the greatest coverage corner of all time. And top five all around at the position. The only guys I think you can argue are in his league all around at the position are Rod Woodson and Charles Woodson.
Ronnie Lott
Ronnie was a safety not a cb.
Ty Law is underrated in these conversations. Same number of career picks as Prime, and 300 more tackles (career was 1 year longer). Prime was a better coverage corner, but Law was great and a better tackler. His pick-6 to punch The Greatest Show On Turf in the mouth to start the Super Bowl was a huge reason the Pats dynasty got started. Just got his gold jacket, too.
Bo Jackson was a beast, I wonder what could've been if he didn't retire early.
He got injured
He didn't retire early, like most football players he was retired early. His entire hip was torn out of his socket a few times.
Jersey Devil yeah the final one it wasn't repairable
NFL history rusher.
Two sport Hall of fame, maybe. A least one.
Classy act by Deion Sanders to acknowledge that another great athlete bested him on the field. Many claim that Sanders is cocky and arrogant, but here he showed commendable humility.
There's absolutely no way that being stiffed armed by Bo Jackson is an insult or takes away from Deion's greatness... Bo was the craziest most talented athlete ever, there's no way a man of his size should have ever been able to run that fast with that much power... He absolutely decimated all on the field
Bo was amazing 🤩 the dude was another level and there won’t be another like him for sure
TECMO BOWL Bo Jackson was unstoppable!! Runaway train. 🚆
Bo had the legs. Sadly, that is what hurt him. That leg tackle that took him down, Bo literally pulled his own leg out of the hip socket and things were never right for him after that
It’s sad when the power and efficiency of the machine turns out to be its fatal flaw. His legs were just too powerful for a human body.
It’s crazy right? To me the fact that his own power and momentum was the cause, actually adds to his legendary status.
Do you realize how freakin' strong you have to be to pull your leg out of the socket? Bo was freakishly strong! He could stand in the shallow end of the swimming pool in 3 ft of water and jump CLEAN out of the pool and land on the edge of the pool.......let that sink in for a bit.
I like athletes who are solid enough with who they are to tell a story or two like this. It's good sportsmanship off the field.
Bo Jackson is hands down the greatest athlete of all time. He was all natural and never ever had to do any performance enhancing drugs!!! Marinate on that sports people.
"We not gonna get Samuel Jackson no time soon" LOLOLOL

It's difficult to believe that Deion ever found himself in a situation in which he could be stiff-armed by Bo. Usually if there was a tackle to be made. Deion would either run the other direction or kind of inch his way over, sideways, with his eyes closed and a single tear already running down his cheek.
Perhaps this was his indoctrination of when to “try to tackle” vs “oh heck no!” Lol
Bo Jackson may not have the reputation of greats that had longevity like Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Muhammad Ali, etc. But make no mistake- for a period of few years, Bo Jackson was the best all around athlete on planet earth.
Who remembers the cartoon with Bo, MJ, Gretzky? The good 'ol days...
deion funny as hell
