Super-athlete comparison.

We sadly didn't get to see Chad do his thing due to the wreck but consider this:

Chad played safety and Bo was an RB. RB's are high profile.

Chad made huge plays from safety including the JPW strip sack which is why we have a 2007 BCS trophy.

Chad was held at the LOS against Arkansas and from a dead stop after breaking the hold ran down Darren McFadden when McFadden had a 10 yard head start. McFadden is probably one of the fastest RBs the SEC has ever seen and Chad ran him down like he was standing still until he caught a noncall clip.

He then showed up with little pitching experience and threw major league worthy closer stuff and won the CWS.

You're comparing Chad Jones to Bo Jackson?

Take off the P&G glasses. I love Chad Jones, but he wasn't even on the same planet as Bo.

This actually crossed your mind as a legitimate thought? Find professional help.

Ummm, Bo Jackson is probably the best athlete of all time. Dumb comparison is dumb.

Bo Jackson is possibly the greatest athlete to ever walk the face of the earth. I love chad jones, but he's no Bo

Chad Jones was a decent football player. Not a great one. Not a top ten safety at LSU even. He returned kicks and students loved him. He had a few weeks of a baseball career. Bo had commercials. He dominated two sports his entire life.

See the difference.

don't disrespect Bo

Chad Jones isn't even the best athlete to come out of LSU's modern era. he's not close to a freak-level athlete

I'd never say a negative word about Chad, on a sports level or personal level. He is a special special Tiger.

The world, sadly, may never see another Bo Jackson.

Lsu is winning both of those titled without chad jones, sorry.

That strip sack was a 3rd down play. Bama was punting from deep in their own territory to lsu.

Lsu was up about 7 runs when jones came in to pitch that 8th inning

Love me some "Dreadlocks of Doom" but no, just stop. They are not in the same class. Your comparing a great player to one of the greatest athletes in history.

Jones was a remarkable athlete, but putting him in the same coversation with Bo is unfair to him. Bo was a once in a lifetime talent. Jones showed he could hack it, but I would not put him up there with Bo nor wold I put him in the same park with Deion Sanders who arguably had a better career in both football and baseball than Bo
