And how the **** did Bo Jackson run a 4.13. That’s insane. He is the best athlete of all time

Two fastest human beings I have ever seen on a football field are Bo Jackson and Darrell Green. Deion Sanders was also a burner.

I’ll never forget Bo’s run against the Seahawks on MNF. Dude looked like he was shot out of a cannon.

Bo turned a corner and vanished like no one I have ever seen play football. Easily the most acceleration of all of them.

Whether it was a 4.13 or with laser timing a 4.20, who knows. But the man was the most explosive athlete ever.

He said that the 4.13 was from the machine. But he said one scout hat a 3.98 on his watch. And another scout had a 4.02
 
He did an interview (not sure how long ago - I watched it on YouTube) where he said 1 or 2 guys with the stopwatches had him under 4.0 (when he ran the 4.13).

Who knows?

I love how Bo just keeps on getting faster every year. Will be 3.88 in no time.

His hip came out of place from a routine tackle. He ran w so much force, that when ole boy latched on, Bo’s momentum literally ran his hip out of joint.

I remember when he became a full time baseball player after that; played for my white sox....even w an artificial hip, he was cracking about 15 HR’s for half the season.
I hated the Raiders, but loved Bo. Legit, he probably would be the only athlete to be inducted to both HOFs had he stayed healthy.

It’s 100 true. Go to 1:30 on this video. He tells the story. It is crazy. Some of the scouts had him as a 3.9 and a 4.0 on the stop watch but the electronic timer was a 4.1:
