Bo made one All Star game and one Pro Bowl. He was the MVP of the All Star game but oh well.

Bo in my opinion. But Deon was a bad arse nonetheless. I think had jackson not destroyed his hip, he could have been in the HOF for both sports.

Since they both careers started at different times, lets do a comparison. Since Bo only played 5 years lets compare the first 5 years of both

Bo Jackson 1986-1990 1 Pro Bowl (1989)
Deion Sanders 1989-1993 3 Pro Bowls (1991,1992,1993)
along with 3 all Pro selections

Did you watch the video of Bo pushing down Deion like he was a little child?

Good point! If Bo had played for Bama he would change his tune.

What could Deion do that Bo couldn't do?

The fact he played a much more demanding position, was bigger and just as fast prove he was a better athlete.

In baseball Bo hit balls as far as some of the greatest that have ever played. He could beat out infield hits, run down balls in the gap and throw guys out from the track. Deion had no power and a weak arm.

You're going to make a case for "Deon"? Who's that?

If you're going to start the thread at least spell his name correctly.

I saw both of them from their college days through their pro careers. It's Bo and as many others have said, it's not close.

The next tackle that Deion makes will be his first. A hell of a coverage corner and returner but the safety on his side made a lot of tackles.

So basically because he wasn't strong is what you all are saying. Got it. The fact that it took Bo almost the entirety of his career to become a pro bowler and the fact that he wasn't even all pro says a lot. And for the hitting a baseball far, i can counter with these guys. Kung Fu Panda, Manny, Papi, Prince Feilder and even Jose Conseco. All of these guys destroy baseballs and have high strike outs. Are they better than deion too? Prince Fielder and Kung Fu Panda are fat as frick for crying out loud, but they both can crush a baseball.
