At the 1986 combine Bo Jackson as a rookie runs a 4.12 40 yard dash - the fastest ever recorded, and by the way - dude is a 230 pound rock. In baseball he would snap baseball bats in half over his head and over his knee regularly.

You couldnt tackle Bo Jackson straight up unless you wanted a separated shoulder or your jaw wired shut. You couldnt tackle him if you had the perfect pursuit angle either because he would easily out run it being the fastest on the field. You just stay the **** out of his way and watch him score because you suck.

bo was a stud till the injury against the bengals in the playoffs

Yes he was. 4.12 40 yard dash at 230 pounds is scary and video game-ish. He probably won't make it because of how short his career was and because he played only a part of the season each year lol. But anyone who knows football knows that Bo Jackson as a player was unreal.
