Deion had better stats because he played longer. Theres no way you can argue that if Bo never got hurt his numbers in both sports would demolish Sanders. Just a bunch of what ifs. If he never got hurt we could be talking about one of the best football players at any position ever. You could argue Deions not even the best at his postion.
@jefftink34 you may want to recheck that because he most definetly was! look up his career playing basketball for duke and his baseball career speaks for itself
@tomster6758 Well I looked up his stats when you said something. He only played one season in the NBA, and it wasnt even a full season (26) games. He did appear to be an awesome athlete but not a 2-sport all star in professional sports. And yeah his baseball career was legit. BUTONCE AGAIN BO JACKSON WAS THE ONLY 2-SPORT ALL-STAR AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HIM. WAR EAGLE.
@jefftink34 you never specified professional. dick groat was a 2 time all american at duke and the MVP of baseball , Bo was a great athelete but his career is more a question of what ifs than actual accomplishments, if he would have stayed healthy, he may have been as one of the greatest of all time, but unfortunetly he did not
@tatertots00 Your an idiot, Being a falcons and braves fan I loved Deion, but to say he was better is retarted. Did Deion win a heisman or was he an all-star in baseball. NOPE.
@tatertots00 bo jackson hit .141 home runs and 415 RBIs in 8 years while either being injured or coming off a football injury. the guy game back after a hip replacement and hit a home run on his first pitch back for crying out loud!
Campbell described this play in a book about Pat Dye... said that he was told by his OC to play conservative since Boston College was protecting the option well. After Dye heard the OC tell Campbell to go easy before this play, Dye got in his(Campbell) face and told him "you better give Bo the ball... or else." The rest is history
ah...for the old Raycom Sports TV days....pre-ESPN college football coverage - Danny Abramowicz, who played for the Saints (WR), was the color man on this game.
@Probo34 Man Bo was just amazing if only he'd just played football he be right there with any of them i mean jim br own size with chris johnson speed.
@jbaby2666 He was the greatest. He didnt get to play long enough to have the stats, but anyone watching any of his games knows he was the greatest. If only he hadnt gotten injured, he woulda had the stats.
@1flynlow YES!! My point exactly. Never mind the stats that these other supposed greats had. WATCH him play!! Just look at this guy run the ball, he was amazing!
Anyone who thinks that Deion Sanders was anywhere close to Bo Jackson as an athlete just hasn't thought it all the way through.

Bo Jackson was never a freshman. OK, OK, when he was 7 or 8, he probably played on his high school's freshman team.
