Bo's an alien man... 6'1, 230lbs, and running a 4.12 40 like are you fucking kidding me? He probably knows how to do the kamehameha
Lmfaooo 😂😂
6'2 (228)
The 4.12 is a myth
He trained with Goku, didn’t you know that?
😂😂😂
Bo’s parents: So do you wanna try out for baseball or football? Bo: yes
x zack or track or biking or archery? Bo: yes
Sure okay quaknquakquackity quak
Bo knows Cept hockey lol
People forget that he was also a Heisman Trophy Winner. You don't hear much about his college career, which was also legendary.
Bo Jackson is, without a doubt, the greatest athlete I’ve ever seen in my life.
Still the greatest athlete I've ever seen...EVER!
It´s between him and Wilt Chamberlain
NachoA999 not even the same level
OTKP maybe you should see MJ
Barber ShopPole are you kidding me? MJ is no where near Bo when it comes to athleticism
Definitely a good call. So many people don't know about Wilt. Either way, Bo was an animal.
Definitely deserves a place in both Halls of Fame!
He probably does, but I can see why he isn't there since the body of work is just too short. It's a shame the world didn't get to see a full career out of Bo.
@@MattPawlowski I think in his case they should make an exception.
All star in 2 sports he definitely deserves to be in Hall of fame!!!
No matter how you feel personally (and believe me, I think he's the greatest athlete ever), he just didn't play either sport very long. Last season Zeke Elliott led the NFL in rushing. He ran the ball over 300 times in 16 games. Bo also played in a 16 game season. The most rushes Bo ever had was 175 and he never topped 1,000 yds. The most MLB games he played in was 135. He played 6 MLB seasons and 4 NFL. He topped 100 RBI's once. Had he played only football, he'd probably have three 1,000 yd seasons. But, he'll tell you himself, he wished he would have never played in the NFL....Obviously.
@@scottmcman7659 Bo never played all 16 games in a season, he would finish the baseball season with the Royals then start with the Raiders in October.
4:33 rockets around the bases for an inside--the-park home run, and still has the stamina to do a nip-up from laying flat on his back after sliding into home. Legend.
One thing about Bo Jackson I have to remind you all is that he woke up this way. He did not practice 80 hours, he did not even practice 1 hour IN HIS career. He did not take steroids or was on some super high tech diet. He woke up every day and played pro athletics at an all star level and still kicking their asses simply by waking up and putting on the uniform. I cannot say it enough. He IS the athlete of our century and perhaps even more...
This is inaccurate. Bo practiced with the team. What he didn't do was any weight lifting or strength training. He was naturally that strong and fast, which is literally mind blowing.
Jonah Lomu>Bo Jackson 100 in 10.8 40 in 4.5 6'5 260-70lbs And never ever played rugby at 100% due to a kidney disease...BRUH
@@jackjohnson744 I don't know how that was possible
@@forcekin7469 and Bo would have trucked him, get real. If Jonah wanted to make real money and come get some he would have. Lots of big, fast people tried Bo, not one of them succeeded.
@@scottrackley4457 ill put any amount of money that Bo would of got folded from Jonah mate. Jonah played on both ends of rugby, offense n defense. Bo was only a runner. Jonah would've cracked him with or without the ball mate 🤣 that's if we're not using shoulder padding like Bo did tho....
His blessing was a curse. He ran so hard his body couldn't even handle the force.
Indeed. I was never a world class athlete, but I was an excellent fighter that cross trained with the football players and sprinters at the University of South Carolina, where I attended. Anyway, when I was at my athletic peak in 2003, at age 28, I weighed 228lbs with a 32 inch waist (6'2"). When I approached my strength (225lbs for 32 reps on the incline bench) and speed (sub 11.0 sec 100 meter sprint) thresholds, it felt like my muscles were too strong for my skeletal frame. When I'd throw a left hook, it felt as if my rotator cuff was being shredded, and when I threw a Thai round kick once, it felt as if my pelvis was ripping away from my hip flexors. It's no coincidence that my last competitive year was in 2004, at age 29. To think I had to train with elite athletes to get into the shape I acquired when, by all accounts, Bo Jackson didn't train very often, at all.
If you notice players now when they get tackled they drop like statues i believe this technique was developed because of the type of injury bo received
So is there a limit to the skeleton in terms of how much muscle it can carry? Is there anyway to predict how much somebody will have at their athletic peak? Or does it depend person to person?
David Laush varies from person to person; i.e., heavily reliant on genetics. The will of the individual to reach one's full potential is very important, as well.
David Laush I always thought that when your doing something like weight training it will strengthen both, your bones and muscles
Crazy how a world class sprinter Chris Johnson is still slower than a man much bulkier. Imagine if bo Jackson was 30 lbs lighter or so...dude would break the sound barrier.
@Shawn Kemp First off, you're full of shit. Second, you're an asshole. Being heavier does not help in sprinting, more weight means slower strides, more muscular resistance, and quicker exhaustion. The fact that Bo was that fast at that weight is absolutely extraordinary. You don't have to be a fucking prick to someone because he dared to share a thought.
@Shawn Kemp You take the award for having the dumbest comment in the video.
Well that extra 30lbs didn’t slow BO down any! Actually seemed very good at knowing his body and very natural athlete that didn’t lift weights or practice very hard but could turn it on game time.
Jeff Watson emmitt can’t get out of bed to get dressed to go to his car to get to the store of level of greatness of Bo. PS you don’t know spit about sprinting
@Jeff Watson Yo you're a fucking idiot. Yes, being heavier might make you place your feet quicker but thats minimally. Barely has any effect compared to the effect of size on muscle exhaustion and agility. Funny how you're an uneducated adult who probably thinks a bowling ball falls faster than a baseball. Moron...
Bo Jackson: a victim of his own power. I remember the orthopedic surgeon/physiatrist that worked on Bo being interviewed. The injury he sustained was virtually identical to those that thoroughbred race horses suffer when their hock joints are damaged from the force of their hooves planting. The sheer power of Bo planting his foot to break the tackle transferred up his leg and essentially fractured/shattered the bone in his hip socket. Truly sad, because he was the best natural athelete, even better than Dione, one person that even Barry would have had a hard time catching.
This it is BO angry with Bat?... Bo used Steroid I knew what i did science this They don't have about 4 different player speed world record 40 time did not same BO speed, Strong, muscle, and other? This Bo is cheater play old game. U all idiot fan. It is steroid!!!.
I saw that same orthopedic doctor on a medical visit when his career was in the early stages. I was a child then.
Hands down best athlete ever placed on our Earth. Such a shame we were all denied the chance to watch such a humble, tremendously talent man do what he loved to do.
I was born in 81, so Bo was an athlete that I really looked up to as a kid, I even did a book report on him after reading his autobiography. He was, and still is, the single greatest athlete I've ever witnessed in my lifetime.
dsauce223 - Same here. I did a report on him, too.👍
I went to Auburn with him. Everything you read and see and hear is understated.
Bo knows Bo. Loved that book, still the greatest athlete I've ever seen
💯
Same here! The cover of that book is a legendary picture with the bat and shoulder pads
The way he turns the corner on a sweep....I've never seen anything like it....Simply amazing
I was blessed enough to watch Bo as a kid, and now my kids know stories about him. Still my favorite athlete of all time.
Some athletes are incredibly fast. Some athletes are extraordinarily strong. Only Bo Jackson had speed and strength in such an awesome combination.
Look up Wilt Chamberlain and be shocked
I'm willing to throw adrian Peterson in that mix and he was 15-20 lbs lighter, just as good pound for pound , not a knock on Bo, but a real contender
What about wat about Walter Peyton
@@ericklang9132 Adrian Wat? There was NOBODY who compared to Bo Jackson.
Herschell Walker is easily comparable. And lets not get into specifics as they're both incredibly gifted athletes👍
That injury showed that he was too good for sports. I guess sports has a maximum athleticism
LMFAO!
Right on! Well, put! I gave you a "thumb's up" for your well put comment.
He's among the most talked about"what ifs" ever in sports.
That's what happens with overly-gifted athletes...the Human Body can only take so much force at the usual "points of failure" like...hip joints. You've heard the doc I'm sure, saying "Had he been a less powerful athlete, he wouldn't have had the big shearing force on his body. He woulda gone down on the tackle and probably woulda been just fine."
Smart comment.
He meet Deon Sanders on both MLB and NFL fields.
Nope, only in College for Football never in the NFL.
@@tbokillacam wouldn't have gone well for deon in the pros. he was such a shit tackler
logant44 not really, he knows how to bust knee caps and slow down runners so other people can make the huge hit
RazorBack_Trevor 256 so, a shit tackle.
youwatch2muchtv by shit you mean smart?
It was an honor to be able to live and witness the Bo Jackson era. It's just sad we were robbed of his greatness so early.
As a kid, I remember when Bo Jackson was playing for the Raiders, you literally held your breath if he got the ball. Like, what's about to happen. Something incredible probably
would have been the best running back had he stayed healthy no one would have came close to him
zane brown..... Barry sanders tho?
King Lando nah he's considered one of the goats in just a couple seasons he gets a full career and the man holds records that still aren't broke.
King Lando Barry sanders is my favorite running back ever, but Bo was 100x better
I believe you're counting out emmit, I don't know if Bo could have played that long, just a thought...
zane brown The idea that no one would have come close to him is kind of absurd. Just look at his stats. He didn't score many touchdowns, he didn't run for very many yards per game. He was great but not that great. The only stat working in his favor in yards per carry. To say he would've bee better than Walter Payton and Barry Sanders is a long stretch considering their consistency and dominance. Could he have maybe been one of the best? Of course. Will we ever know for sure? Nope.
The greatest athlete of all time
Shawn Kemp 2 professional sports for bo.
MJ played BB about as good as I do...
@@mr.wizard2974 two beasts
Some of you guys have forgotten about the Great Jim Thorpe. He was great in Baseball, Football and he was an Olympian gold medalist!
@@cheesegyoza he wouldn't have compared to Bo. For example, Jesse Owens "only" ran a 10.38. Turns out so did Bo at the Olympic trials and missed qualifying by 0.01 seconds. Then, there's the size and strength differential...
I've seen some exceptional athletes in pro sports in my 52 years but Bo ...he was just another level.
That throw he made to get Reynolds is still the greatest throw in baseball history in my opinion. I don't think anyone else has ever made an assist from the warning track on a line to home plate. That is legendary.
Best raw talent ever. That throw to get Reynolds was awesome
Raw really dude
Best sports play ever!
When Reynolds got to the dugout, he asked his coach who cut the throw off. When they told him nobody did and that Bo threw him out from the wall, he didn’t believe them. He went down into the clubhouse to watch the replay, and returned to the dugout replying “I don’t believe what I just saw.”
AS PE I think Herschel Walker is
And Reynolds was an absolute speed demon...
Can you imagine if he stayed healthy. So many records would've been set and prolly never broken.
If, if, if.
Gary Pulliam Gaylord alert we got a Steelers fan alert 🚨
Bo knows KZhead. Those big tackles were like little bumps to him. The Super Bo theme here is so fitting. There are only maybe 10-15 athletes through history that are legit Super Hero level. Respect. Btw his injury was a matter of being too athletic for his own good. Peace
Hands down the greatest athlete I’ve ever seen! 4.13 40 yard dash at 230lbs is insane. His arm in baseball and his power at the plate. Don’t think we will ever see anyone like him again in our lifetimes.
Unless they make some cyborg athletes in the distance future nobody will ever see another like him. There is only 1 Bo. Greatest athlete to step on any field and it's not even close.
I won the game!, now Im gonna jump, BO JACKSON!!!
Xx LastDestroyer xX haha family guy!
I was 9 years old when Bo hit that Homer in the 89 all star game! I remember my Dad jumping up off the couch and spilling his beer! Then I remember watching him play against the Chiefs and my Dad still rooting for this phenom! He just might have been the MOST ATHLETIC human to ever walk this earth!
Look up Jim Thorpe.
I saw him in the minors playing for the Memphis Chicks who were at that time the AA affiliate for the Kansas City Royals. He hit a home run out of Tim McCarver Stadium you wouldn't believe.
@Shawn Kemp Not true. Football and baseball are team sports. You cannot win by yourself.
@A Rebel With A Cause I'll take their word for it because I don't remember the distance, but it was a blast.
You were a year older than me. I remember Bo being my favorite athlete, which caused so much inner turmoil in me because I was born and raised a diehard Celtics fan, so Bird was and should have been ahead of everyone else. Even Jordan. But Bo, what a legend.
My favorite athlete.... EVER........ I was born in 1991.. Let that sink in
No
Such a humble of a man that I wish that that wouldn't have happened to him. He was such a thrill to watch both on the gridiron and the diamond. No one could even come close to his athletesism. Not even Deon S. could match his speed and movability. The man was and still is the original highlights reel.
Can he beat Mike Tyson in boxing 🥊
Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson are my two favorite RB's of all time.
same

Joe Alvarez The original beast mode was Marion Motley.
..and never forget the man had class and humility..one of my favorites, I'm still frustrated he got hurt.
Me too
After watching Bo Jackson highlights I’m always left moist eyed from the excitement of being able to see him play on original telecasts.
Bo Jackson is the reason why I'm a Raiders fan.
I still wear his jersey, proud raider fan.
Me too
Marcus Allen handled that situation like the true pro HE was, too. Don't forget that. And Marcus liked Bo; he just hated to be put in the situation of being a FULLBACK. Who wouldn't? But he was a great teammate. People forget that, and I'm a Bo "fan" having gone to Auburn with him.
If only those two split the rb duties equally. Bo might not have gotten hurt and a superbowl win would be likely.
@Tee Snacks Yeah after Bo was injured. But Marcus wanted out because Al had been treating him like crap ever since a year or so after they last won the superbowl. Can't blame Marcus for leaving. I think Al was going senile since it was totally unwarranted. Marcus still had it in him.
Everyone says "he would have been the greatest (had he not gotten injured). This man was the greatest anyway. The most incredible and versatile athlete to ever play in professional sports. Yes, he would have annihilated records and everything, but just because he got injured it doesn't negate that he was the best of all time.
@sha broussard He played 4 yrs in the nfl and 8yrs in mlb(years after his injury). To play at that skill level easily contends him as the greatest athlete of all time. His football numbers were ridiculous. Immaculate fielder and power hitter.
@sha broussard I don't think athletic ability has anything to do longevity. Deon's skill set is not comparable to Jackson's. To be the greatest at a sport takes the numbers, sure.
@sha broussard Hindsight is 20/20. In 1986 you wouldn't pick Deon over Bo. I'm talking about athleticism. These discussions aren't about absolutes. There isn't only one. Wilt was a phenom, for sure, as Bo, natural strength and ability. MJ was no where near the physical specimen of either but his mental prowess made him great, and he made his teamates better, which Wilt did to maybe a lesser degree, and wouldn't say Bo had that. I'm speaking of pure athleticism and ability, not greatness of a sport.
@sha broussard Barry is a GOAT for sure. Again I'm not talking about the greatest in a sport. Athletic ability is about the moment. Bo excelled in college and at multiple sports, any sport he tried really. No one would remember lots of greats in a sport if they had careers cut short. But everyone remembers Bo not only for his accomplishments, for his potential, which is athletic ability. I'm not saying you're wrong, I think we're arguing different perspectives.
@sha broussard Bo ran 4.1 40, 10.39 100m, 6' 9 high jump, 48' 9 triple, and 50' 1 shot put. Was drafted out of high school by Yanks. In H.S. he won two 100m an decathlon state titles, threw multiple no hitters, and played most snaps on both sides while handling all kicking duties. He's in college football HOF. all-star for nfl and mlb. Career avg per 162 is 30+ HR, 80R, and 100RBI, that includes 3yrs of post injury at bats. His football stats are without question, 6.6 ypc in college, 5.4 NFL. He didnt have the accomplishment of Wilt, but that's not the discussion. Clearly Bo's ability matches up, some better, some less, across the board. Again, I'm speaking of ability, not career statistics, obviously injury prevented him from being the greatest player.
The greatest athlete ever deserves a longer highlight by you bro
When I feel down, watching Bo reminds me that our species is capable of unbelievable things and it makes life feel just a little more magical.
Sometimes I forget that he won the Heisman in ‘85. Dude was an absolute phenom
This was fucking awesome, especially the baseball sequence at the end. Gave me chills
Bo Jackson was the best player in Baseball & Football i remember back in the 90's i couldn't wait until Sunday too watch football i think he should be in the Hall of Fame back then football was a real sport 2day it's not the same
If I had a time machine, I'd go back and not hand off the ball to Bo. So we could of all seen what could of been. I can't imagine all the records he would of broke and made. Greatest player ever.
Greatest athlete in the history of the world.

YES!!if you could mix earl cambells size with deion Sanders speed you would have BOs clone
What an incredible tragedy when he became injured. We got cheated out of a career full of amazing highlights. Bo absolutely, was one of the greatest athletes ever. But God said, do not cry you knew he was my number#1 guy. So please stop that cryin, and take this bad ass Lion. So move along don't tarry And meet #20 his name is BARRY!!
He was to amazing god nerfed him that's why
Wow. Bo was a hero of my childhood but I didn't have a TV so I never actually saw him play. This highlight reel is amazing! They don't make running backs like this anymore.
Thank you for this. When I was a kid, there were a lot of special athletes. But when I was a kid, there was Bo.
seriously just got goosebumps watching this, love bo Jackson, love your edits bro, thank you.
Amazing video with great editing, another masterpiece. BTW, the first scene is probably one of the greatest runs, he completely runs over someone then hits a turbo or nitrous button and changes speeds. In my opinion the greatest pure athlete to ever play professional sports.
A man who worked at Yankee stadium for decades said only three men hit the ball with such force that it made a certain sound. Those 3 men were Josh Gibson, Babe Ruth and yep, Bo Jackson
you actually found highlights of him I've never seen. Amazing man, greatest athlete to ever live. keep up the good work man!
Favorite player ever
Best athletes ever ! God bless him! A thing of pure beauty to watch.
Thanks for the video. It brought back memories. Jo knows Bo!
2:35 Bo was 6’1 and weighed 230 lbs and moving that fast is scary.
Try breaking a bat... Go ahead I'll wait. I'm glad he was around in that era bc today everybody would be saying that he is juicing. My favorite athlete of all time!!!
@Random Guy yeah, maybe a cheap bat.
Durell Dailey God Given Talent and some juice. Talent is undeniable. But the juicing is inevitable
@sha broussard he didn't have to he was a natural athlete who was great at everything he did.
Random Guy with there head though? Lmao
sha broussard you have proof he was juicing? Then shut your mouth.
The production quality & editing of these videos is better than anything I have ever seen on ESPN or any other sports network! Bravo my man!!!!!
One of the best ever I love seeing or hearing the crazy stories about him.
Now imagine if Bo committed all his time to one sport
Blue 800 should habe stuck to football him cracking bats on his knee played a roll
Mike Malley Yeeeaaah OK, lmfaooooo. Breaking bats didn't have shit to do with his injury.
Blue 800 If he committed? Are you a moron or what? He played in his off time of both sports on the other sport.
He ran with everything he had, he ran with such force that when he was being stopped, the momentum was taking him forward. The tackler got his leg and fell on top of it, making a very awkward fall. His hip and leg got damaged. That has nothing to do with breaking wood over your leg.
Your ability to take a joke is terrible

This was beautiful; brought back great memories.
Probably the best all round athlete ever!

This was an awesome homage to a great athlete. Thank you.
One of the people i really wished i could have watched live hands down one of the best athletes ever to exist
Like the Tecmo Bowl ending. There was only one play for Bo Jackson, because two would have been unfair.
Gotta love the raiders on that game I think no was the fullback Marcus Allen the half back
BO JACKSON!!!!!!
The best athlete to play both football and baseball. He deserves to be in both halls. Hands down.
legend. he's the type of dude that should be in the hof. it shouldnt matter if ya win a ring or how long you played. his greatness, in both sports,is obvious. it's why we watch his highlights.
I admire this man, incredible to see how amazing some athletes can be if they work hard enough, it really does stink that he got that leg injury

"You can't tell me that bo didn't arrive on earth naked,in a blue ball of lightning "
3:58 One of my favorite MLB clips! Duel-sport Athlete at the Professional Level & the best of both!! The great BO JACKSON.
Bo was the king of kings in football. He did some great things in baseball, but football was his calling. Had he not gotten hurt in the game against CIncy, he would have been the best running back of all time. As far as I'm concerned he was even through he did get hurt. His career was cut short, but he deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame. No other back could do what he could and to this day hasn't.
complete badass.
it's so sad what happened to him he was going to own almost every record an NFL and MLB player could have he was so humble, yet so good it's amazing what he gave us but he became a what if
I remember that game against the Bengals i wish he would've never got hurt it was a really bad injury but in my eye's Bo Jackson is a true Hall of Famer his name should be SUPER BO 😅😅💯💯✊✊miss watching you play Bo that was the good ole days real NFL Football
What a joy to watch again It brings you right back to that time. And to see what happened to him and have an injury that took it all away and do it as humbly as he did is an amazing thing. I hope he is remembered forever there will never be another Bo Jackson both talent and the type of person he was just amazing
Amazing video! I am a HS teacher in Australia and teach lessons with him as examples of the ultimate freak athlete. Now this vid makes my life easier to preach the Word of Bo.
Give him 10 seasons 20,000 rush yards and 200 TDs easily
*Shawn Kemp* You're correct, Bo could have gotten 20k yards and 200 TD's in 5 years. He had tons more than just straight line speed. But you would know that, if you actually had factual knowledge of Bo Jackson...
If he played 14yrs like emmitt with that offensive line he would've had. 30,000 yards
Make that 20 years. No way would he have gotten 20,000 rushing yards playing 10 games a season.
william smith stop, yeah bo was amazing but watch the last Super Bowl cowboys bills and guess what? The line sucks
The problem is that he wasn't playing full NFL seasons because of baseball. It would've been hard for him to compile big stats without quitting MLB.
I had a chance to see Bo play football in person when he was at Auburn and at one point, when he ran past where I was sitting, he was a literal blur. A BLUR. Certain athletes have made me question if I really saw something happen before, like an Allen Iverson crossover, or an Anderson Silva feint, or a Larry Fitzgerald catch. However, no one - before or since, has ever made me question if my eyes were actually functioning properly. But Bo did. He was the human equivalent of Superman 35 years ago (sorry Cam). And look, anyone who can cause Neon Deion to be self-effacing must be a goddamned legend.
I let my son see his highlights and he was in awe of his body, speed and everything he did on the field. I teach all my kids and those I coach in different sports. Set your Goals High, and Don't stop till you get there!
Man what I would give to see Bo for at least four season in either sport the most Gifted Athlete all time.
thank God I got to see him play growing up..
Enjoyed watching Bo Jackson and both Sports and I loved playing Tecmo Bowl on Nintendo, with Bo Jackson
