Bo pushing Sanders down once is about the most terrible argument I've seen in here

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


seems fair since Bo Jackson did not actually join the NFL until 1987 and then only played half the season LINK

so that 5 years really becomes 3.5 right off the bat, add in the fact that deion was playing from the beginning of the season while bo would join AFTER baseball ended LINK

Plus, Deion was simply a base runner. He was an okay fielder but he was used to get on base and steal bases

Bo might have been a better athlete, but Deion had a better career.

Bo was great, but it was a small sample size. Deion played for years and became a champion. Deion the greatest CB and return man in NFL history. Bo is the greatest "what if" RB to come through the NFL.

Neither one was a very good baseball player. The argument that Bo could hit a baseball very far is ridiculous.

I had no idea Jackson hung around the Bigs for 8 years.


he didn't play 8 years. he played about 6 seasons with two of those seasons with a fake hip.

woodson spent half his career as a safety. blount played back in the day when CBs could maul the recievers. haynes was an alltime great CB, but he's not Deion Sanders.

Deion = best CB ever

Obvious trolling but just saying:

Bo Jackson - The greatest athlete of all time.
