I'd say the only athlete that comes close is Neon. Nick, the guy is the only man in history to go to an All Star game and Pro Bowl. That says a lot.

Deion was a a premier football player, baseball career was meh. I'm not sure Bo was a great football or baseball player. Not doubting his natural ability. I'll agree with Nick about Bo being overrated and a product of Nike marketing.

One thing both guys had was pure world class speed. You simply cannot coach that. And with Vincent's size, it was quite a thing to have in your pocket. Like them or not, they both were a thrill to watch.

Kind of hard to compare a CB to a RB as far as talent goes. Deion was an amazing CB and special team player but Bo had all the skills and talent to be one of the best RBs ever to play the game.

Very true. I loved in the film watching Bo beat out that grounder to second base.

My favorite 30/30 yet! I admired Bo growing up. Still have the poster and the Fleer card with him wearing the the shoulder pads with the baseball bat over his shoulders.

there will never be another Bo Jackson. Vincent would've been the greatest ever without the hip injury, and still is one of the best ever anyways. The dude is just a pure man with pure athletic ability.
that picture is an all time classic
