The hyperbole here is great. Ever hear of Bo Jackson? How about Jim Brown?

They weren't as good as Moss. Other than strength, there isn't any measurable thing I could think of that places them higher than Moss. We're talking about arguably the best receiver in history that was also a state 100/200 meter champ in track and was good enough to be voted top basketball player in the state over a future top 10 pick NBA player. Bowden and Holtz both said he was the best athlete ever at their respective schools and he never even played for them. Jackson was great. Brown was too. Deion Sanders was too. Joe Mauer is another top one. Maybe Dave Winfield is comparable.

Well if Lou Holtz said something it must be true.

Bo Jackson was a better athlete and so was Jim Brown. Aside from running the fastest 40 yard dash ever at the combine, Jackson also ran track at Auburn and qualified for Nationals his freshman and sophomore years. I'll take that over being the HS state champ in West Virginia, but just for good measure Jackson was also a two time state champ in the 100 meter dash, in Alabama. He was as good as Moss, if not better in college, he averaged over 6 yards per carry and won a Heisman. He was able to make an all star team in pro baseball and pro bowl in the NFL in his brief career.

I agree. Bo Jackson is a better all around athlete the best of our lifetime.

no doubt. the guy was amazing.

moss could have been the best wr ever, but i don't think he was. i think he was his own worst enemy.

Baseball wise, Jackson was Adam Dunn with more speed. You would think with him being as fast as he was, he would have stolen more bases or that his steals success ratio would have been much better. Bo was a career. 250 hitter. He once led the league in strikeouts. He was pretty much feast or famine. Yao Ming got more votes than Shaq. Jeremy Lin got more votes than James Harden.

A simple "you're right" would have sufficed. The year Bo made the all star team, he was deserving. He finished 4th in HR's, 4th in RBI's, 10th in runs scored and 10th in stolen bases in the American League.

Bo Jackson was a career .250 hitter who struck out a lot, but could run, throw, and hit for good power.

He edged Iowa QB Chuck Long in one of the closest Heisman votes ever his Sr. year.

Bo wasn't even a top 10 finalist for the Heisman as a freshman, sophomore, or junior.

Nike did a great job inflating his reputation. There certainly have been much better baseball players and there certainly have been better college running backs.

Every single season Herschel Walker had in his 3 seasons at Georgia were all better than Bo's best season at Auburn.
