Harris Highlights The Greatest is Herschel Walker
In college he was a man amongst boys. Then he went to the NFL... where he was a man amongst boys.
No he was not
@@richardmanuel9812 um yeah he was
@@richardmanuel9812 he was the strongest pound for pound and fastest man on the field every game he played in college and the NFL
@@MrMattyswift no never had a thousand yard season
Richard Manuel you’re honestly a child. You’re probably like 10 with that kind of comeback
If we didn't have film no one would believe how good this guy was.
He was the best I ever saw play the game. Herschel was the 2nd best in college, but it's BO, and it's not even close.
@Cee N You are right. Auburn has had some great football players. I think Bo Jackson also excelled playing baseball too.
I'm seeing it and I'm STILL not believing it. 🤯
@@BENJIR2D2 Thanks......that was probably the most entertaining at-bat of an infield hit I've ever seen, lol. I can't help but wonder now how that guy who tackled him and broke his hip must feel ("I've ruined the career of the most physically gifted athlete of all-time. Whoops").
@@centerfield34I mean he hit a ground ball to the 2nd baseman on rock hard astroturf from the 80's and it wasn't even close. We all got cheated out of watching his careers. At least we did get to see him though. He damn near hit a HR. and that was his first MLB at bat ever.
The thing is, Bo wasn't very elusive. He didn't have a lot of make you miss, like Barry or Emmitt or Gale Sayers or Marshall Faulk. He was just sheer brute force with Olympic track speed. Amazing athlete.
You just made realize Adrian Peterson had similar running style to Bo Jackson
@@targetegratvery similar. I think No had a quicker 20 yard short shuttle though. Peterson was Very slow side to side
he didn’t need to be elusive he was completely unstoppable in the open field. damn.
Totally agree - not an OJ Simpson or Tony Dorsett or even a Marcus Allen ( whom he played with for some time) with elusiveness but more like an Earl Campbell with far more speed.
Emmit? Emmit had blockers and an overall excellent team his whole career. And he was not very elusive. He just made great reads off of his OLine while the rest of the offense spread the defensive field for him.
The most athletic man ever. When he scored he didn't jump, dance flip, scream, etc. He just scored and it was business as usual.
Same as Barry Sanders. He would just hand the ball to the closest official. I don’t mind a little celebration. Scoring a TD is an exciting achievement. My mom is an old stick in the mud. She whines every time a guy spikes the ball when he scores. Like everyone should just slink off the field like a robot. Human emotion adds to the game. Now Chad Johnson and T.O. took it to far with their antics, but still some people need to lighten up.
I think he is the only human to ever break a video game. It was a general rule that you couldn't use the Raiders in Techmo Bowl because it was considered cheating. Litteraly IMPOSSIBLE to stop him.
@@dialecticalmonist3405 okay so what you do in tecmo bowl if someone picks the raiders is you pick the Giants and you play as LT, and aim for Bo every time but SHHHHH don't tell anyone.
@@juliuswarburton It required a bit of timing to do the LT insta-sack. Bo could negate the insta-sack if you ran straight into it. Bo was broken. LT was almost broken, but not quite.
Wilt Chamberlain has yet to be surpassed but i would put Bo second.
I'm old. Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete I've ever seen.
This younger generation have no clue how great he truly was. I've yet to see a better athlete. He's a once in a life time athlete!
Yes Sir! Without a doubt.
James Allen - next to Herschel Walker
@@cozycool3505 They both were world class athletes but bo was faster....
Walter Payton is better. But he is definitely top 3 rbs
Crazy that Bo Jackson, Charles Barkley, and Frank Thomas all played at Auburn the same time
Christian Keller and I can’t think of two more opposing body types than Charles Barkley and Bo Jackson
losangelescardinals Charles was not in bad shape when he was at auburn. Actually his first few years in the nba he was in good shape. The days when he was doing highlight reel dunks he was in good shape.
Andy Tihonow he was in terrible shape at Auburn. He almost transferred due to their attempts to get him in shape.
Christian Keller And how about the number 34 in those days! I haven't checked nation-wide but Bo, Barkley and Herschel wore it.
Wow I meet knew that. Thats crazy
This is some amazing videography- the fact that they can make Bo run in fast forward video speed and keep everyone around him at regular speed is some digital magic! LOL
i had to check my settings to make sure i was normal and not 1.25x holy cow
A Porsche among a pack of mini-vans
Bo was a muscle car, not a sports car.
He wasn't just fast. He wasn't just powerful. The man had EYES, too. Perfect running back.
He was not "the perfect running back " nor was he "the most dominant in college football history" .. He had 2 good years out of 4 in college.. and never broke 1000 yds in the NFL. Jackson is Number 85 in rushing yds/career in college ... Not Top 50. Not Top 25. Not Top 10. Jackson's speed and size look impressive during a Madden video game .. But the reality is he was NOT dominant.
@@arcdestriumph586 you don't know what your talking about
@@mattwoodlief5450 I just laid the stats out for you Einstein. Bo was NOT dominant.. if he was his stats in College would look like Herschel Walker's... and his pro stats would look like Barry Sanders' stats. Bo played 4 years at Auburn .. broke 1000 yds in only 2 of those years.
@@arcdestriumph586 can't say I disagree with the complaints about the title being exaggerrated, but what title isn't anymore? While a short NFL career, there is no fan of the pro game that would ever say he was not the most dominant guy on the field when he was there. Again, a short career that included sharing the backfield with another HOF runner, so never getting full time touches. Even so, he was feared for both the speed and power, and without looking it up I know his yard per carry was well over five in an era where most linebackers were tacklers and did not excel at pass coverage.
@@IDontBuyIt50 He didn't dominate his position... So.. No.. he wasn't "the most dominate guy on the field". Never a 1st Team All Pro .. Never a 1st Team Pro Bowler.. Those were the guys domianting at the time. Bo is an impressive figure.. in video games. Barry Sanders, Thurman Thomas, Roger Craig, Emmitt Smith, Eric Dickerson.. all beat Jackson out in Pro Bowl and All Pro selections.
I remember it was darn near illegal to use him in techmo bowl
Bo Jackson was THE cheat code in Football kzhead.info/sun/a7R7prOwoJWwYGg/bejne.html
Haha loved that game, i could run back and forth with him and never get tackled lol..
It wasn’t allowed. He was too good
Unstoppable on techno bowl.
Walter Payton was just as good as Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl before Tecmo Super Bowl gave Bo the best RB title !
How the hell can you be 230 lb and run that damn fast Bo Jackson was not from this planet LOL
Take a look at Jonah Lomu. He was bigger and Faster.
Chevy Rangitakatu He was bigger, but he was also 4 inches taller... 4 inches taller and 30 lbs heavier, so yes bigger but not faster at all. Jonah’s 100m Time was 10.8, whereas Bo ran a 10.39 100m. Stop spreading lies. Bo is the better athlete all around as well, that’s why no one knows who Jonah is.
@@crackuhsnackuh you are right, Bo was .41 seconds faster. But to be 4 inches taller and 30 to 40 pounds heavier and still run a sub 11 seconds is just crazy. You obviously dont know jonah if you think no one knows him. He is the most well known rugby player on this planet. All beef aside, just check his highlight videos out and tell me he isnt on the same level as Bo.
@@crackuhsnackuh Wtf is a Jonah!? 😂
@@198746779838 Bro, I think I know who you're talking about. And he ain't even remotely close to being better than Bo Jackson!
I see mr Jackson a few times a year because he lives near me(I'm nowhere near rich though)and his kids went to school with my oldest and he was literally a soccer dad who is humbled and it seems content with being a regular dude, which makes me appreciate him more..
The 80’s were great years for college running backs. Marcus Dupree, Bo Jackson, George Rodgers my favorite Herschel Walker, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith and so many others. The golden age of running backs.
You forgot about Eric Dickerson!!!
@@joeblow538 Who?
@@Harpoon2theRescue SHUT the fuck up. You know who he is.
Mike Rozier
Dickerson
Would have been the best running back in NFL history if he hadn’t have gotten hurt.
Cooper Smith you said it. True.
I think thats part true that guy up in Detriot was the same also could put up numbers
Barry was great but Bo was just a freak of nature! Definitely the greatest athlete of all time... if he wouldn’t have gotten hurt he would’ve been in the hall of fame for football & baseball!!!
Cooper Smith 2nd behind Barry Sanders maybe
That's actually false. Look at his stats out of the single back formation. You gotta admit it help to have a h.o.f. pro bowl running back (Marcus Allen) playing full back for you. Just a little. .
It’s almost a joke how much faster he is than everyone else on the field. Never seen anything like this and never will.
Until he got chased down by Jerry Gray at 7:19 and Deion at 8:27 lol.
@@357twilson only way you chasing Bo down from behind is if he is already tired. No one bearing him at a straight up foot race. NO ONE
@@357twilson PrimeTime did not run him down but Gray had the angle.
@@jrsands yes they both closed the gap on him. Other players in the video had angles but Bo ran passed them. Bo simply couldn’t separate from Grey or Primetime.
@@357twilson did you know he was injured in that game?
It sucks we didn’t get to see him play a full career in the NFL. If he hadn’t had such a devastating injury there’s no telling what we would have witnessed. Bo was the best athlete of all time. In high school he won the state decathlon his junior and senior year without running the mile. He beat everyone doing just 9 of the 10 events. That’s a true athlete to be so successful at so many different athletic events. Jordan was great at basketball, but couldn’t make it in baseball. Bo excelled in the NFL and MLB. How many guys could field a ball at the wall and throw it to home plate for an out?
It’s absurd how quickly he can pull ahead of everybody else on the field. Plenty of great athletes out there, Bo just leaves them all in the dust.
😂exactly
that run at 2:10, the 76 yarder vs GA Tech, OMG. It was like he was shot out of a cannon. Unparalleled explosiveness.
The Greatest Athlete of all time..
Nope the greatest athlete of all time was Edwin Moses!
Mr. Wizard love Edwin but hell naw!
No he's not Jim Thorpe is
Idk man, Ali and Tyson in their prime were pretty amazing actually, but bo is no slouch for sure
what about lebron
Cannot believe how fast he was. Guys have the angle and he just finds another gear. And his running motion was perfect. No wasted movement ever
Jz
Until he got chased down by Jerry Gray at 7:19 and Deion at 8:27 lol.
@@357twilsonDeion didn't have to walk him down. He was already in position to attempt the tackle.
@@357twilson All three of those dudes had elite speed, so it's not really that surprising.
@@357twilson Both of those guys had angles AND blazing speed.
I didn't know he was that fast ! At 6'0 230 lbs. He said on ESPN he ran a 4.13 40 yd dash. I doubted it BUT after seeing these highlights..omg
6'1"
Its a record for the fastest in combine history to this day
@@Tone22845 no it's not, and it never was. The record is 4.22 by John Ross. Bo never went to the combine, and there's no proof he ever ran a 4.13.
@@Tone22845 and may as well google his "4.13" too... there's no proof because he never did it at any actual event. There's plenty of people who say they ran something... without proof... it didn't happen. That'd be like you saying you were ran a 3.5 ... if there's no proof it didn't happen
@@Nobody2day553 yes he did and it is not the record because it was hand timed. He also ran 4.17 and 4.18 for scouts and there were hundreds of witnesses. Pea brains like you think anything that wasn’t video recorded never happened. Grow up
No isn’t just a great athlete. He’s a great person too.
*Bo
My auto type is as horrible as my reviewing before hitting the send button…thanks for the correction! 👍
He’s so fast it looks like the footage is sped up.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Everyone else's footage is normal, but his is sped up. Lol.
Trust me
Made it look easy to run right past people
Until he got chased down by Jerry Gray at 7:19 and Deion at 8:27 lol.
@@357twilson They both had the angle on him and only one of them actually made the play. Deion got stiff-armed into oblivion
the acceleration is insanity. He has cornerbacks that he a Outweighs by 30 lbs tripping and stumbling chasing him because there is no way they can get up to that speed. That's crazy.
That's what I came to type. It was nuts. He'd be at 3/4th speed as he negotiated the line of scrimmage. Then, the LB's and DB's would be at full speed and at a perfect angle to get him and ..... fucking goodbye!
Prime time says he weighed a buck sixty when he meet Bo's palm. Bo outweighed the only guy that could even come close to hanging with him, in the speed department, by 60#.
Until he got chased down by Jerry Gray at 7:19 and Deion at 8:27 lol.
@@357twilson No
“Hang on and wait for help” Statement says it sll. I was heartbroken when Bo went down for good. He was one of my favorite RBs of all time.
Mine too
I'm 49 and he is easily the most physically gifted athlete I've seen in my lifetime.
And we all respect your opinion right? Idiort
@TheAmericaninchina how old are you boy?
I didn't see him play, but Wilt Chamberlain may be the best athlete.
That stiff arm on Deion Sanders was classic! 😂
Sanders could cover, but never made a solo tackle in his life
That time he got facepalmed by Jackson, priceless!
Randy Dreibelbis That's extremely false. Deion is the 🐐 at CB
@@mitchpeterson2158 honestly I hated him when he played, but have to agree best CB to play.
8:29
I think many people forget how good of a MLB player BO was also .... a cannon of an arm !
And moon shots
Having been born in the early 50s, I can say that I’ve seen some great football and baseball players in my life. I will say that I’ve never seen a better football player and he did some unbelievable things in baseball, too. Can’t imagine what he would have accomplished in a full career. Blessed to have seen him play both.
That throw to get Harold Reynolds out at home is crazy
He never even had to work out. All natural. All American. Pure talent and ability. Beautiful.
It's amazing that he outruns guys 10 yards ahead, down the sideline.
When asked what position the Auburn quarterback played he said "I'm the guy who takes the snap and hands the ball to Bo Jackson."
Size, speed, quickness, strength, vision, patience. He had it all.
Did they ever tackle him🤔
Only thing he didn't have was that wiggle/elusiveness, Imagine if he had even a fraction of what Barry Sanders had, go back and watch how good Barry Sanders was at making people miss absolute freak and legend
Exactly!
I remember watching Bo Jackson in the 80's he's the fastest and best running back ever seen...great job BO!
God sure did bless Bo Jackson with everything you could want as an athlete. He was so good in Football and Baseball. Would have no doubt been in the HOF in both sports if he didn't get hurt. There hasn't been a running back like him since. Just amazing how fast and powerful he was. Loved Bo Jackson!!
NO
Saw lots of those runs in-person, thanks to my father, who bought season tickets. I even got to race Bo in a 100 yard dash with other young boys. He gave us a 30 yard lead. Still smoked us.
Lol
Y'all sad for laughin at that dude lmao

That was the last time Deion Sanders tried to tackle anyone.

This is why he made that comment
2 Great comments gentlemen!!
@@northcackalacky4694 Thank you Deion learned to spell the word LONGEVITY

Would have made the hall of fame in both sports. 235 pounds and a 4.12 40 in football is deadly. A power hitter who is the fastest guy on the field is freakish in baseball.
Buns Network his power was freakish also. He was known to regularly blast 500 foot homeruns in batting practice. In fact his high school coach tells a story about him hitting a ball so hard that the batting cage they were in collapsed because of the force off his bat.
The 4.12 is a myth..It never happened..It was more like a 4.28...
@@jldp24 Proof? Either way, 4.28 at his size is freakish.

He ran a 4.2
Had he not been injured, Jackson would have been the only athlete in history to be inducted into the pro football and the pro baseball halls of fame.
John Lynch is in both baseball and football's hall of fame. Though, really only through a technicality

Probably the most gifted running back to ever play the game. Legitimate 4.2 speed at 230 pounds.
He never ran a 4.2 just stop
@@JoeMama-mp9jb This is well documented.
@@gskessingerable hand time is different than laser time
@@JoeMama-mp9jb It's well documented that he ran a sub 4.2 40 yard dash. Your ignorance of this fact is of no importance.
@@gskessingerable are you actually retarded or just messing with me? I said they did it with hand times instead of laser times. Human reaction times tend to add around .2 seconds over a laser timer. He was fast but come on now
"3 touchdowns, 181 yards, with 51 seconds to go in the first QUARTER" - Bo was unfortunately having on off day - proving that he's human like the rest of us.
man, i forgot just how fast bo was. bo surely knows how to turn the corner. he just pulls away from the secondary. unreal the acceleration he had.
After watching @4:31 his 4.12 forty is almost guaranteed. He went from the 50 to 35 yard line literally in a second
That's the most explosive 15 yards I've ever seen. Incredible that a 230lb man can move that fast. Hell, that ANY man at any weight can move that fast. Incredible.
I wonder what it feels like to be able to be his size and run that fast. I mean damn..... this dude could not be fucked with.
@Randummm that is because he didn't have great long speed. But if you look at his acceleration and burst, 4.2 is legit
can only imagine how hard tackling bo jackson was. ironically, a future auburn tiger running back was the hardest tackle i ever had to make. i was a linebacker too. the force from our collision was on a totally different level. i remember that first tackle to this day & how much different it felt. knowing the guy i hit wasn't even in the same stratosphere as bo, id rather jump in front of a armored car going 40mph then meet a charging bo at the 1 yard line. bo jackson was UNSTOPPABLE!
Bo actually ran a 4.13 at the combine but it was not an official run so it wasn't recorded. And the fact he is a 6'1 230lb man is just unreal. But not only was he fast he was strong as hell. Bo Jackson was the most gifted athlete on the planet and still is today. There has never been another and just may not ever be.

Bo running like it's about to get dark and he's far from the front porch 🏃🏾♂️💨💨💨💨
It is amazing how freaking fast, yet powerful this guy was in college and pros. So many times the defender thinks he has the angle, only to be a step short and having no chance in hell of arm tackling Bo.
This guy could run over you, right through or run by you, even if you had an angle on him. That's because he was stronger, tougher and FAR faster than anyone else on the football filed. What a phenomenal talent.
Watching him just fly past dbs who had a 15 yard lead off on him is just true insanity makes me so damn sad that we never got to see how many more jaw dropping feats he had left
Big ! Strong as Hell , Super human anticipation and situational awareness. A physically perfect specimen of a human being and a bunch of people that almost got to that level.....Bo Jackson
Bo was a freak of nature, so much fun too watch and so much God given talent. Had he not been hurt he would have destroyed every rushing record ever! We as fans got screwed because he was so much fun to watch. He is a great person as well.
It was and still is a pleasure to watch Bo run. When you weigh 230 and moving as fast as he did, the fact that his head was never bobbing like many runners do when they are exerting themselves. Just perfect form and when he put it in overdrive, GEEEZZZZ!
He’s the greatest ever..dude had it all and for a moment in time God blesses Bo with something we won’t see again...beautiful
UNBELIEVABLE THIS FOOTAGE OF BO JACKSON STILL GIVES ME THE CHILLS TILL THIS DAY!!!😮🏈...#💯
Bo had one of the greatest 2nd gears I've ever seen. That run he did around the 2.15 point against GT was beautiful. Three dudes surrounding him and he turned up the acceleration
Best run of his college career..game was on the line AUBURN trailing in the 4th quarter...and Bo outran the Black Watch defense of Georgia Tech..all 4.5 or better and 4 guys had the angle and he smoked them all Touchdown.. game winner...Legend.
Reminds of adrian peterson gears at his prime
Its sad seeing a Legend that will never be in the NFL hall of fame. Watching that game and hearing the extent of his injury killed me as a kid. Love ya Bo
Best two sport athlete that ever lived!!!! Bo Jackson was the most phenomenal player in Auburn history!!!

Bo is the greatest ATHLETE of all time.
Nick Milstead Michael Jordan is better
Lol Dude Michael Jordan played one sport and busted his butt to be great at that sport. Bo just went out in both sports and said I am better than everyone else and showed it on game day. He hated practicing for any sport he was in.
Andy Tihonow are you stupid? Michael Jordan played baseball too.. he was good enough to just walk into the white Sox.. and then return to basketball and still be dominate and win 3 more championships.. bo is no where near his level
Andy he’s just a troll... and let’s be real Michael wasn’t shit without pippen 😂 (1-9 in the playoffs)
Lol Dude Jordan was terrible at baseball. Bo was an all star in 2 sports.
Damn, I miss Keith Jackson!

#88 TE for MIami My god this dude drove me nuts as a Bills fan living in south FL at the time.. I'd put my hate/rivalRespect for him in my top 5 Dolphins with Brian Cox,,,Brock Marion,,Terrel Buckley & Pat Surtain & Sam Madison.
Whoa Nellie.. the big uglies, Saturday afternoons aren't the same..hands down the best college football announcer there has ever been. When born, God said,He shall call the games on Saurdays in the fall.

Keith Jackson, the epitome of old school COOL 😎 🏈
My goodness so fast so strong. Also amazing that there is a Bo Jackson home run territory at KC Royals Kaufman stadium. What a legend.
Amazing the angles these DB’s and Safety’s have on him and he runs right by... The Greatest!
Bo over the top!!!! He WAS and still is the Greatest athlete during my lifetime. The only running back that I can compare him to by weight, speed and breaking tackles is OJ Simpson. They are pretty close and look at what OJ did on the Football field. Truly awesome to watch Bo play ball. It didn't matter if it was Football or baseball, he was able to do it all. Peace out everyone
O.J. couldn't run through tacklers the way Bo could.
John Koziol Earl Campbell could
Lol
Saw all of OJs college game-Bo was faster in a football uniform, much quicker acceleration. far more punishing , an almost as shifty. Far more elusive than Herschel walker . He was a fast Jim Brown- much faster Eral Campbell. Juice may have been close in a 100 yard dash in a track uniform, but warning pas for forty yards not in bos league. For college, Bo was the GOAT at RB.
Juice had yea a bettter career Bc he played longer . But As far as the eye test , na OJ wasn’t moving in this fashion or format , he mighttttt have maybe moved smoother but No running is a cheeteah OJ is only like a bobcat . Not even close
Dude was fast af. All these NCAA defenders were the fastest at their High School but then they couldn't run down Bo.
The blend of speed and power is almost unmatched. Adrian Peterson was a great blend of both as well, but it was a little slower and not as strong and that is saying something because that dude was a monster in the NFL and college. Bo just ran people over like it was not problem, only one play in this highlight film did he not blow by everyone. I mean he looked so much faster that many times you could see people sprint for an angle and they still couldn't get him. Dude was a straight monster.
To be that big and be able to out run DBs....always an amazing thing to watch.
The greatest athlete the world has ever known.
When he turned the corner on a Monday night game in Seattle.
He ran over the boz.... .
Ran thru the tunnel
The second gear that Bo had was nuts. A lot of RBs have good burst at the line of scrimmage. But the way that Bo left defenders in the dust in open space was pretty unique.
Speed on 99 Acceleration on 99 Trucking on 99.

I consider Bo Jackson to be quite possibly the best all-around athlete ever. That is considering strength, speed, throwing, stamina, eye-hand coordination, the works. However I might go with Herschel Walker as the most dominant football player in college football history. I can't argue with Bo Jackson though.
Chicago Shawn - Herschel Walker , Deion Sanders and Jesse Owens were just as good !
+Cozy Cool As far as I know, Herschel Walker and Jesse Owens could not hit a baseball or throw 90 MPH from the outfield. Deion Sanders was not as strong as Bo Jackson and strength is a vital component in being a great all-around athlete. Better choices would be Dave Winfield and Brian Jordan. Neither of those two could tie the shoes of Bo Jackson, athletically.
Chicago Shawn - Herschel walker was a superstar in track and field , 5th degree black belt in karate , MMA fighter @age 55 , Olympic Bobsled alternate , AAU HIGH school softball champ -&- Devon two way player in football / baseball player at elite level , track & field 100 meter champ in high school & college !!!
+Cozy Cool You have a much better case with Walker and Deion Sanders when compared to Jesse Owens. Brian Jordan may come in second to Bo Jackson in my book. Another would be Gene Conley who won the World Series and a championship in the NBA. Not many can make the claim that they won championships in the top league in two different sports. .
@YHWHudah Shuah Ben Dawid Barry Sanders was a great running back. I don't know if he could hit a fastball.
I remember watching Bo in college and thinking to myself. It almost isn't fair. He's too big. Too powerfull and too fast for anyone on that field.
To be that big, that fast, that quick, and that strong is a once-in-a-hundred-years athlete. I got to see him play my team, Bama, at legion field back in the '80's. My friends had to help me get my jaw off the floor when it was over. Damn near alien...
His speed and acceleration stupefied! But I always loved his foot work when he went and broke through the line.
Me to, loved his foot work.... .
Bo is most definitely on the Mount Rushmore of Greatest Athletes of All Time. And honestly the calls by Brent Musburger and Keith Jackson make it even better! Great editing and presentation as usual Mr. Harris. Thanks for the upload. You ALWAYS kill it on these.
I'm a born and bread University of Alabama fan and I am still amazed by this man's talent on and off the field. Roll Tide Roll
The size of a linebacker, but with the speed of a cheetah. Bo knows football.
Bo Jackson was the greatest athlete to ever play any sport, professionally, or otherwise period, bottom line. And I'm an Alabama fan. The man is a mythical creature here in Alabama and everything they say about him is true.......
You need to.do.some research on Danny Ainge, you will.be shocked, yea Danny Ainge.3 sport athlete, professional.baseball and basketball, but also a first team in football in high school
@William Gray Bo could outrun that nag, then run up a wall to rob a homerun..... easy....
@@EClark-dj7gh Deion Sanders, Herschel Walker, Charlie Ward ?
@@CleanMusicLover229 None of them better than Bo. Not even close. He's the only one that made All Star in Baseball and Pro Bowl in football.
Not even close , he wasn't even the best football player in college , will always be second fiddle to Herschel Walker . Oh , and he was not in any way a great or even good baseball player
Bo beat Herschel at 60 meters track meet he also ran track and set records that stand to this day in college.
When and where? I don't think so.
fake news. Bo was in HS when Herschel was at UGA
no damn way!
Fellas I was at Auburn at the time. Bo was a freshman when Herschel was a junior. If you know history it was the '82 Auburn vs Georgia in Auburn. The famous Munson call of the sugar falling from the sky when Georgia made a 4th quarter goal line stand to win the game 19-14. The only time they faced each other in football. And yes. The next winter and spring they competed in indoor and outdoor track and field and Bo did beat him indoors in the 60. I was there.
@@dwfaufan1 so no beat him once , any given day . Herschel was a better football player in college , the college goat undeniable. And a far better pro football player Bo lasted a couple years and his frail body blew up on him . Herschel ran a 4.38 with Darryl Green when he was 50 . Herschel owned lil bo
I was at that Georgia Tech game in 1985, I believe. As a 16 year old guy; my eyes couldn’t believe what I just saw. Bo Jackson had 4.2 speed in the 40 yard dash. I believe it!!
Everybody in the stadium and watching on TV knew he was getting the ball and they still could not stop him. Unbelievable athlete.
This is the first time I've really seen his speed, every other video is in slow motion so I could never tell, but he is ridiculously fast. 4.2 is a safe bet, but that 4.12 may not be as farfetched as I previously thought
4.12 is a myth..it was more like a 4.2 plus..atleast that's the way it's told
Im bo fan . But herschel was a rare freak also and had a few times faster than bo and bo beat him sometimes. Both crazy southern black americans that likely are a result of genetics from africa and the way sadly slaves were bred. Over the 400 years they would weee out the weak or less powerful and breed the males with most good genes. You look at bo and his 12 brothers and sisters in pics. 2 of his brothers are bigger and as muscular as him .. its why southern blacks are so powerful
Deion Sanders ran a faster 100m time than Bo Jackson, both college times. The 4.12 was hand timed.
Matthew 123456 Also, Bo was on steroids man... he didn’t lift but he took anabolics. Look it up.
Bo Jackson would of qualified for the 84 Olympics with a 10.39. Only Carl Lewis was faster.
Bo Jackson is the Chuck Norris of athletics. I once heard Bo raced a fox body mustang for 60 ft and won. Yes it was a 5.0
No, he's the Bo Jackson of sports.
I once heard that Bo Jackson raced his shadow in the 50 yard dash and won by 25 yards.
@@kpolart4137 jumped on top of a VW from standing still..so may things this dude did..once in a lifetime phenom.
Legendary athlete. Closing out with the stiff arm of Deion, did not disappoint :)
Awesome vid. I was born in '70 and Bo is the best athlete I've ever seen and it isn't even close. He was the greatest of my generation and probably top 5 in history.
Not in the top 10
I remember watching games and just saying "Give it to Bo, Give it to Bo" I can't recall being that excited about running the ball with any other back, at any other time in my life.
Should have caught a lions game.
Imagine bo running the spread offense at Auburn today with a good o-line, insane
Trent Lang with his arm he would have been the greatest spread QB ever.
He would be a damn good spread half back. Make it where even on a pitch out you still didn't know if a run or pass.
i hate google so you’re gonna talk shit on a video about an auburn player. Still upset bo declined the offer to bama?
I had the privilege of watching Bo Jackson play at Legion Field against my alma mater, the University of Alabama. Amazingly, we won - because of one of the most ridiculous coaching calls of all time. Bo Jackson OWNED us, ran over us like a train every time he had the ball. At fourth and goal for the winning touchdown, Pat Dye faked Jackson up the middle and swept Brent Fullwood right with the ball. Rory Turner "waxed the dude" at the one. Bama won. Damnedest thing I ever saw. We hooted and spewed trash at the losers... Now I'm an old guy, and I realize the history I was watching. Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete to ever strap up shoes - and I saw him when he was a kid - so was I. There are many experiences I'm grateful for. This is one.
That's awesome you got to see him in person
Jesus, the speed on that guy. Unbelievable!
Barry & Bo were the best at what they did. Barry had the best change of direction/acceleration ever (not debatable). Bo was the fastest/most powerful (also not debatable).
Your high , Herschel was far better than bo in football , college and the pros . Go look at the numbers , and Herschel at 50 ran a 4.38 40 with Darryl Green .....bo ? Fat and out of shape . Bo not in top 10 in football ......not debate able Barry was incredible , however his numbers on grass were far less than impressive that turf . On turf , you had no chance to stop him To bad he squandered his career in armpit detroit
Size, speed, power, strength! Incredible.....once he reached the corners, it was over
The guy hated lifting weights and was still the strongest player on the field. His legs were like tree trunks. What a player.
The greatest all around athlete ever. Had he not been injured, no telling what he would have accomplished.
He had power like all the others, Herschel, Campbell, OJ, his speed puts him in first place.
Such disrespect, Bo was awesome but he wasn't the prototype, that would be Jim Brown. Understand, cinder tracks are not as fast a surface as synthetic rubber, and grass is not as fast as artificial turf. Yet Jim still clocked 9.6 at 100yds. Imagine what his time would have been on the newer surfaces. Also, OJ's World-class Olympic speed puts him first. Nothing against Bo. An OU freshman back named Marcus Dupree was just as awesome as Bo on the football field while sharing carries with 3 other backs in the wishbone, prompting Switzer to switch to the I-Formation the following year. But Dupree was manipulated and misinformed by a Mississippi grifter and didn't return.
@@24gmj2010 Bo would shit on Jim Brown
@@DaGr8Depression LOL! Jim is THE Prototype. All others are out of his mold. You don't know the half of Jimmy Brown's athleticism.
@@24gmj2010 I know Bo was bigger, stronger, and faster hit a baseball harder, could throw farther and catch better than Lim Brown. Brown played against white librarians and can’t even hold Bos jockstrap LOL
Yeah, I miss the days of Bo Jackson. Was a delight to watch.
Always love seeing an elite RB outrunning everyone on the field, then seeing a ref keeping up with him stride for stride.
We will never see another football player like Bo Jackson...Glad I was able to watch him from college to the pros...him and Deion Sanders
