He couldn’t even make a roster today because everybody is so much bigger and faster and stronger
There is no way in hell anyone could convince me that Bo Jackson in his prime couldn't make a current roster in MLB or the NFL.
Do you really believe what you posted?

The studs would absolutely play. The average middle of the pack guys wouldn’t stand a chance

100%
Remember, too, especially in baseball pitch velocity is tracked out of the hand now instead of at the plate. This adds mph.
Guarantee you Bo, Ron Gant, Will Clark, et al could still mash in today's game.

Bo Jackson is an anomaly.
Just go watch a college football game from back then and watch one from now. The size of the linemen is the biggest difference by a mile. Here's an example:
In 1971, Nebraska had what was at the time, probably the best college football team ever. Their defense was anchored by their two defensive tackles, Larry Jacobson and Rich Glover, who would go on to win the 1971 and 1972 Outland Trophies. Jacobson and Glover were about 240 pounds each and were considered giants.
50 years later, in 2021, Georgia won the national title with a defense with two star defensive tackles, Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter. Davis and Carter played college ball at about 360 and 300 pounds.
