re: Best 2 sport athlete of all time? LSU

I think Cannon is the greatest easily - 2-time All American and Heisman winner in football, and had world class ability in the 100 and in the shot put. I think it was Alvin Roy that said Cannon could have been a contender in both the Olympic 100 meters and the shot put if he had trained for it. Of course he couldn't because he was a football player first and foremost. I think his 100 yard dash time was only one tenth off the world record in the late 50's.
