I love hearing Bo Jackson speak. It’s so soothing.

[BENJIRD]

I'm 42 and he's still easily the best all around athlete I've ever seen in my life. 4.13 at 230-235 Pounds = INSANE

Who remembers him running up the outfield wall with the Royals!? 😲

[jdogbeck]

I love how they laughed about him saying he’d want his kid playing golf and stopped and then he told them he’d lost friends that he didn’t know about until he saw concussion

This man I respect greatly with how well he preformed and how he was always humble

[edugen]

I feel like adrian Peterson is is the closest thing to bo Jackson in the sense of size strength brute force speed agility. Obviously Peterson wasn’t as fast but he did run a 4.3

[dianebaker]

Bo Jackson is a hall of famer in our hearts and is all that matters

[sharkbait]

Bo Jackson is the closest a human being will ever get to a literal train.

Who remembers bo Jackson in tecmo bowl???

[bluetickfreddy]

Best part

“Raise the door”

Killed it

[paull]

I am 46 and Mr. Jackson is best/strongest all around athlete I’ve ever seen. Also, he is extremely humble and is the consummate gentleman as well. I wish today’s athletes would follow his lead..

He was the best athlete I ever saw. I was at the Seahawk Raider game that he ran over Bosworth. He was passing people like they were standing still. In retrospect, Bosworth did pretty good, that he was really trying to stop a I am honored to have seen him play. Go Bo Go!!

This man is singularly the reason I’m a Raiders fan today. I was lucky to be a kid that was able to enjoy Bo in NFL and MJ in the NBA in the late 80s blowing everyone away.

Bo defines class and I love it; got so much respect for him, and I just hate his football career ended WAY too soon.

[LoganCaneira]

I think Bo would of been the greatest running back of all time if he didn’t get hurt

[blackbrew]

Bo had the best 30 for 30 documentary! I've watched it at least 5 times!

[itsmezed]

Not only was Bo the fastest guy on the field when he played, he would straight up truck dudes all the time.

[talibwise]

Notice at 3:57 he says that athletes are bigger, stronger, and more intense. Usually guys say bigger, stronger, faster 😂😂 No one was as fast as Bo

[danrgoodnight]

when the Raiders had Bo and Marcus in the backfield - it was Perfection.
good times.

[vectorthurm]

Bo Knows!! Dude is so direct and no nonsense! As a player, once showed up late to a Royals game because he stopped to help someone with a flat tire. He is legit and a role model!!

[slimetymeent.]

Bo was different, when he made that statement about opening the door I knew he wasn't lying 😂

[ShawnC.T.]

His likeness will never be seen again in our lifetime, I thank God I got to witness true greatness...
