6'1'' 230 lbs 4.2 40 yd dash... it wasnt even fair... watch that 91 yard TD run against Seattle. He makes those DBs look like 8th grade scrubs. I mean those DBs are running 4.4 and 4.5, and Bo is makes it look like they are standing still. He had over 3100 total yards, 18 TDs in 38 career games and touched the ball just 14 times a game. He had 55, 62, 73, 91 and 92 yard TD runs. He had an 88 yard run that didnt go for a TD, all this in 38 games. Raiders were 11-1 in game Bo scored a TD. His average TD was 27 yards long. He never went to training camp, just showed up after baseball season was over and ran for 5.4 a carry for his career. I mean he came in as a rookie, without even practicing and it took about a game and a half before he overtook a first ballot HOFer (Marcus Allen) as the teams #1 running option. You just don't see that, ever.Originally posted by jjgold
There's speed and then there's game speed. Bo had them both, he probably ran a 4.3 in full pads on uncut grass.
Some high school facts... per http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...ould-have-been
As a senior in football, Jackson rushed 108 times for 1,173 yards, which comes out to 10.9 yards per carry, and 17 touchdowns.
In the ensuing spring Jackson moved on to baseball, hitting 20 home runs, which tied the national record.
He was also fantastic in track. As a senior, he won state titles in multiple dashes, hurdles, the high-jump, and the long-jump.
He was even a two-time decathlon state champion.Comment
