There was a time when Bo was larger than Jordan. Hit a major league home run and score a touchdown in the NFL the same day. By far the best athlete I have ever seen
Bo Knows Cross Trainer commercial when he was driving a race car, playing polo, etc.
He was bigger than Jordan at that time.
Before there was Deion Sanders
And starred in a cartoon with thee immortal hulk hogan at the same time both of those events were happening!!BO KNOWS EVERYTHING!!! LOL
Yup! I remember the day he got hurt. My brother and I were so sad. All of our friends too. And it wasn’t long before the reports that he’d never play again started to come in. It was so sad bc he was only getting going.
Deon was special. He’s the greatest CB by far. Nobody has even been close. He was a true shutdown corner, but if he got the ball the probability that he would take it to the house was so much higher than any defensive player EVER! He was a great returner for the same reasons. The only reason I give Bo the nod over Deon as greatest 2 star athlete was bc he was arguably the best baseball player at the time too. If he’d only played baseball he would have been. Deon was never as great at baseball. But obviously Deon having a full and long career makes it difficult to compare in the end. Bo barely got going. Ended career at his peak.
Running as fast as you can then looking back and seeing the massive human that is Larry Allen straight hawking you down from behind has to be absolutely terrifying.
Fr tho
Larry Allen standing between me and the ball carrier every play would be even more terrifying.
Larry Allen was an offensive lineman? Why would he be running you down from behind. Great athlete, but you personally, should not be commenting on football. It’s okay bro, just stay in your lane next time.
@@jamesbuddell7307 did you fucking watch the video? What a loser you must be
@@jamesbuddell7307 I actually hope you read this comment and never talk to anyone again. Please let everyone go on with their lives never having to hear another word out of your mouth
Larry Allen robbing the Saints of a pick six never gets old. Watching him sprint THAT fast will always be absolutely insanely
Larry has always been criminally underrated IMO while still receiving major praise. Dude was just that good. Played every spot but center and never missed a beat. He just didn’t lose reps. Much respect 7-3
I remember watching that game, I couldn't believe he was that fast.
I shouldn't need to mention this guy as an honorable mention but Lawrence Taylor. Literally changed the way defense was played in the NFL and paved the way for guys like Reggie white, JJ Watt, Aaron Donald, and Von Miller.
LT is the GOAT on defense. Absolute monster.
Thank you! I wanted to mention LT, than saw your post. To me he should even be in the top 10.
@@schaefer1898 yup! LT single handedly wrecked opposing offenses. He changed the defensive aspect of the game so much that opposing teams wouldn't snap the ball until they knew where LT was on the field.
Reggie was a DE in the ranks with Mean Joe Green, Deacon Jones, Bob Lilly and those guys. LT was a menace and probably the best football player ever, but he was an OLB
@@bigb2494 oh I know. But this list was top 10 freak athletes. LT should be on this list somewhere
I remember when JJ Watt had a cameo on New Girl. Easy to forget how freaky athletic these people are until they're standing next to regular people
Oh yeah, him on SNL was trippy like, he was still just massive even sitting down
He also was on that fantasy football show the league and he towers over everyone
How can you forget something so basic like that?
its a poor list. talking about freakish physique. i got to go with dk metcalf and miles garrett. this physique didnt really exist that much before that. the closest thing we had was TO.
@@dodu8281 Calvin????he was easily the most comparable to TO
Few modern fans seem to be aware or truly appreciate Eric Dickerson as a football player and an athlete. Dude. He was SUCH A BEAST! I became a fan as a kid because of Tecmo.
This dude was 6.8 and he was fast for his size real fast
@@allonisaacr2929 6.8 what?
There are better athletes around the world 😮
A Donald 6”1 should be #1
eric dickerson was a bad motherfucker in nfl street man
One thing I didn't hear mentioned about Bo was his size, 235 lbs and faster than everybody else, incredible.
Bo Jackson and Randy Moss are the best athletes here and remain the prototypes for their position.
@@patrickr2691 Herschel Walker is just as big as Bo but faster and his athletic resume is better than Bo's

Awesome list overall, but definitely missing Randall Cunningham. Dude punted the ball 91 yards (70+ in the air), regularly won quarterback club competitions for distance, ran like a deer, and then came back to the NFL after time off to lead the Vikings to their best season ever.
Nice list...I'd put Deion @ 2, Megatron @ 8...and Larry Allen @ 2!!!
Larry Allen has EVERYTHING to do with Emmit Smith gaining more yards rushing than anyone else; He is THE reason!...PERIOD.
👍🏿Eric Dickerson #29 was no joke though
Moral of this comment section: there’s an insane amount of freak athletes in the nfl. Appreciate them all
Adrian Peterson should’ve at least got a mention
that's what im saying. dude came back from what used to be a career ending injury and had one of 2 or 3 greatest rushing szn's ever
Big facts
They really put cj and saquan in here over him lmao
Who remembers when Mike Singletary made vernon davis cry?
Without a doubt
Bo Jackson is definitely the greatest athlete I have ever witnessed. Running back, outfield or at the plate he was dominating. LT with a broken ankle and the giants were not having any of it. How is LT not on this list. He Changed the way the game is played and sadly ended pro ball player’s careers. All while addicted to crack and not training. If that’s not a freak of nature I don’t know what is. ❤
Bo was not dominating in Baseball. His stats were average at best. Have you ever seen Herschel Walker?
Find yourself someone who loves you as much as John Madden loved Larry Allen.
3:15 😂😂😂😂 big 73 moving like a man on a mission
Ain't hear much from Darien Conner after that 😂😂
Larry Allen! Great props for an absolute legend.
I miss the 90s
@@packersauburneric3625 born in 02. I sit here sometimes for hours watching 90s football. I missed some great football
Julio Jones should've made the honorable mentions list
At least !
Randy Moss is the freakiest athlete I have ever seen. His speed, his height, his hands, his hand-eye coordination, his balance proprioception, his body control, his agility for such a tall player, his INSANE acceleration in his prime, his jumping ability, and the fact that NO TEAM EVER went a full game without doubling him. He was the one player in NFL history you couldn't afford to single cover lest your team get torched.
HIs nickname was SuperFreak lol.

Darrell Green did it too holding Moss to 5 catches 64yds 0tds in Moss' rookie year.
There have been many phenomenal pure athletes in this game’s history. None can touch Bo.
Except Injury 🥸
Reggie white should be on this list though
@@xw.powerhouse1 I love Reggie. You’re right. Top ten football player ever and an even better person.
Your mom could touch him
bo was just bo he was an absolute freak wish injuries didn’t take him out but then again he chose to play baseball over football
Julius Peppers was definitely an honorable mention
or even Cam
I love hearing the unearthly stories about Darrell Green's speed, not just in his late NFL years but *well* after his retirement. Particularly running a 40 yard dash on his 50th birthday just for the heck of it and somehow coming up with 4.43 seconds.
My one complaint: How can you show Chris Johnson and not show the one where Gus Johnson goes "He's got Running-Away-From-The-Cops Speed!!!"
Actually two complaints... I feel Lawrence Taylor is a glaring omission. Even as a rookie he was destroying all opposing offenses, and he hardly dropped off from there.
Make your own video..
and Hershel Walker beat him in a 100m dash...you can find it on youtube. Walker was very similar to Bo Jackson in size, strength, and speed.
I LAUGHED HARD WHEN HE RAN OUT THE STADIUM.!!!
Moss was the perfect receiver. Big guy and fast guy rolled into one. Him never getting a ring is such a fucking shame 🐐
@stuxnet750 yeah Rice obviously better statswise and not disputing his stature, the man is an absolute sports legend. I' just saying Moss's physical atributes are some ofif the not THE most desirable for what he was trying to do, ever
No Herschel Walker? I remember back in the day when they would have the all-star challenge on television. He was out lifting lineman.
They must have forgotten him, because he's a Republican Politician now!!!
He used to race trains in the rail yard too, and he was MMA fighting in his late 50's! Herschel is what pure dedication looks like
@@charlesburroughs9770 bro... let me guess your a republican? It's the lesser retarded of the two options but anyone who claims to be either Democrat or republican and votes and watches news ect . Is highly unintelligent and brainwashed . Democrats are the worst and the most popular of course and they are using the Democrats to increase control , create more restrictions and spread their evil agenda. And they get away with it by having the Democrats begging for more restrictions cause they beleive blatant obvious lies and can't see they are creating these issues and /or straight up just making it up to give a reason for yall to support them stepping in a takin away more rights . ( Republicans at least only beleive half the BS)
Yall both a problem . It's because yall make up 90 percent of the population. That's why we have to pay this government money just for being alive or else get ass r***** in prison. Also we must sing anthems standing and removing our hat with hand over heart about how proud we are to be owned by the government. And if we don't like any of it thats offensive to those who died . Nevermind they died for a lie at the hands of the government. But yall let that slide cause some how thats offensive to those whom died fighting for... freedom .. ( I was in the army ). You don't fight to keep freedom. You fight to gain freedom . Wake up
@@pryingopenmythirdeye1830 Actually, I'm a Constitutionalist, and also an ARMY Vet!!! I'll leave it at that!!!
@@charlesburroughs9770 cope
DK chasing down Baker is great because Baker thought he was gone, turned to wave in celebration and was like “oh SH*T”
6:37 This run here is what makes Barkley so awesome to me. Reminds me of the old days.
To have that type of strength, center of gravity, and just to have and display that type of balance and personal/physical awareness and control of his body is so amazing and reminiscent of the 90’s when we’d practice (or at least attempt to practice) keeping our balance as we ran with the ball in RB drills. Ball in one arm and then running practically in a 3 point stance. It’s a beautiful thing to watch back then. Great to see him doing it now.
How can you ignore LT? Talk about a freak of nature!
Who was doped up on coke lol.
Are you talking about Taylor or Tomlinson?
@@relentlessberlin5609 crazy thing about your comment is you probably wasn't even alive when he played you just repeating what you heard
@@coreyhiggins6890 He literally admitted to being on crack almost every game lol
LT wasnt a freak athlete. Someone like Jadaveon Clowney who was 2 inches taller, 20 pounds heavier and ran the same 40 time is way more of a freak athlete than LT was. LT was just really good and loaded up on crack lol
I 100% agree with this video, in fact i had the honor of playing under Bo Jackson's back-up running back/half-back Kyle Collins. So i've gotten to hear a lot of stories about him.
Wow NFL Throwback, how does Earl Campbell not make this list? The guy was one of the greatest running backs ever, nearly impossible to bring down and no one ever caught him from behind. Super rare combination of power, speed, and elusiveness, we'll probably never see another like him.
Bo Jackson played in an all star game with a prosthetic hip! The greatest!!
All time dream matchup in the trenches. Larr y Allen vs Aaron Donald! Talk bout wow!
I must have blacked out for the whole section on Gronkowski
Just imagine a team with Vick, Bo, & Moss in their prime. I don't know if the world could handle that greatness.
I think it safe to say this list should be revisited & expanded. Too many missed monsters in their day.
I gotta agree with the top spot. That dude may just be the finest athlete the entire human species has EVER produced.
Bo knows
Americans lol
Greatest athlete to ever walk this planet…….Bo Jackson
I actually had a college independent study where I researched this type of stuff for 1 full semester and had to present my findings.
with one exception! Wilt Chamberlain.
@@MrUsnavyvetthis isn’t me trying to hate, and I love wilt, but he isn’t as athletic as Bo.
My absolute favorite thing about Randy Moss (outside of his legendary career of course) is his country bumpkin accent I’m from Georgia and he makes me sound like I’m from New York lol
I grew up in Alabama as a Bama fan and I’m about 12 years younger than Bo Jackson.
*Look-up ESPN Sports Science Greatest All-Time Athletes contest where they analyzed film to measure speed, quickness, etc*
Bo Jackson totally wrecked Bama, in particular in 1983 when he had 2 long TD runs of ~70 yards each.
*Find Auburn vs Florida highlights in 1983. Bo had a 55 yard TD that I watched about 50 times in a row trying to figure out how a dude that big was that agile when he 1st caught the pitch from the QB*
To top it all, I recently looked up his high school state track meet performance at Alabama State Meets,indoor & outdoor.
-*15 Individual State Titles* during 3 years in high school (60 yard dash, 100 yard dash, high jump, long jump, triple jump, 120 yard hurdles, 330 yard hurdles, Decathelon)
-*6 State Records*
-*Won the team meet ALONE 1 year* based on his individual events
-Won the Decathlon in 11th & 12th grade *while skipping 1 event each year* because his lead was so big he didn’t need the points
No Reggie White? Will never forget how effortlessly he tossed people aside with his signature “bump”?
I'm pretty sure I've seen a clip of him tossing Larry Allen once. Now that's impressive.
Hump move was a nasty power move, putting the best linemen on their butt. Including Larry Allen
Bo Jackson throwing fast runners out from the outfield in MLB was no joke. He had ALL the firepower in his arms and legs to get it done.
I remember on Sports Science they said Calvin Johnson's catch radius was roughly equivalent to a two-car garage 😂
I remember playing basketball with Randy when we were kids and he was easily the best basketball player in the state of WV getting basketball offers from elite D1 programs. Keep in mind that Randy played on a HS basketball team with Jason Williams, who had a long NBA career and Randy was the two time WV BBall player of the year not Jason. He was such a freak show on the court and basketball wasn't even his sport.
Rod Woodson, Reggie White, Junior Seau, Sean Taylor, Julius Peppers, Adrian Peterson.
Marshawn Lynch was a freak athlete the guy would literally throw dudes off him like nothing he'd carry 5 people into the end zone
Number 1 is so obvious that they needed not even mention that he was also an amazing MLB player with the most pop and armed with the one of the greatest outfield arms in history.
Awesome!! The best clip is of Bo running over Bosworth man. "Bo Knows Best" Haha 😁👍
The two players that I was waiting for were Lamar Jackson and Lawrence Taylor ngl.
This is a top 10 video not a top 20
your so wrong, lawrence taylor shoudlv'e not only been on the list but also been top 3
@@velzun8075
Where is Jevon Kearse? Whenever they make Freak athletes list they always forget about The Freak. Maybe it's because all the Philly fans are upset when they moved into a 3 technique and wasn't as effective. Which is why he dropped off when he went to Philly. Guy took games over when he was the Titans first ever pick.
JJ Watts was a pleasure to watch. Except when he was playing against my teams. Which was too often.
i think that marshawn lynch deserves an honorable mention on this list for how nobody could ever take him down.
His tricky footwork was incredible.
Adrian Peterson should have been on the list
Shook Ray Lewis out of his shoes, had him run into his own teammate!! #BeastMode
That's more balance than athleticism
The first clip was JJ tackling Lynch one on one.😅 But for real Marshawn was definitely a freak athlete.
I think Myles Garrett should be on here
imagine a current rb making 10 pro bowls barry was built different
I don't think people realize that Randy Moss..never really ran as fast as he could...and THAT is terrifying.
i think he did one time on that screen vs dallas where a guy was 7 yards in front of him with an angle and he still ran right by him. i feel like thats the only time in his entire career he approached 99% to 100% full speed for a second or so. he was just like prime time. he was so fast there was no need to run full speed. deion was faster than 90% of the league when he was high stepping and showboating down the field. even at 90% speed they couldnt run with moss, and even at 90% speed, he still outran the ball almost every single time. go watch his 40 yard td highlight reel. its nearly 20 minutes of underthrown passes that he has to sit and wait for the ball to get to him and the DBs catch up. the stark contrast in moss highlight reel, where you barely see any passes hit him in stride, vs that of jerry rice are astounding. the only time you see deep balls hitting moss in stride throughout 20 minutes of highlights is when he played for NE and a handful of passes from the other teams
Moss is the best athlete in the games history.
@@patrickr2691 I might have to agree
@@PeteZam best comment in this thread
For real
This list makes sense. For a second, I thought they were gonna do something crazy and put Brady or someone like that on this list. But it's a very good list.
If the list of Freak athletes does not have Jim Thorpe or Herschel Walker on it, it makes no sense.
@@sydboski This is very true
The NFL loves Mike Keith man. He on so much clips.
Moss and Bo are the rarest of the athletes here. put them into todays NFL and they're instantly best at their position. Nobody moved as well in full football pads as Randy Moss. Of the handful of guys in his class for straight speed, none of them have his top-end speed, none of them could jump like he could, none of them are his height at 6'4, and only a few of them could change direction like he could. Bo Jackson was an epic straight line burner, bit quicker initially than Moss though not quite the same top speed, much stronger than Moss though couldn't cut like Moss could.
Lol watching Steve Atwater hit the turf when Larry Allen comes at him is hilarious
Nice video. Keep up the great work.
Saquon is suprising
Ik.
Thought Barry should have been higher. Strength, Acceleration, Agility, Balance and Quickness. No matter who Sanders was up against 1 on 1, he always had more attributes in his favor no matter what. That is why nobody could tackle him.
Not to diminish his greatness, he is one of my all time favorite players, but he did take a lot more TFLs than he made big runs. But when he made those big runs, they were awesome to watch. You didn't want to miss a single play because you never knew when it would happen.
@@TheJudgementofDog How many TFL's did he take in college? Give him some talent on the line in the NFL and he would have have AVG 6.0 every year
@@talkintennis8124 That's right. People have been saying that since he was in the league.
@@TheJudgementofDog Dude played on a horrific Detroit Lions team. They knew he was getting the ball every time. Still made Emmet look second rate behind one of the greatest lines in NFL history. Carried them on his back to the NFC Championship game.
@@twothbeavewhat does Emmitt Smith have to do with Barry sanders
I love being stuck in the middle of old and modern greatness. A lot of new people wouldn’t even know who some of these guys were if madden didn’t exist
Only Darrell Green (2), Larry Allen (1), Aaron Donald (1) and Deion Sanders (2) have Super Bowl victories. Just goes to show that this is a team sport.
Cam Newton shoulda been atleast a mention, dude was unstoppable in his prime
Cam was very effective for one season, but he's not the athlete that any of these guys are.
@@pickardw bro was 6'5 245 and moved like Mike Vick, if that isn't at least deserving of a honorable mention idk what is
His Prime was one year.
@@EvanDriscoll-cv7tl Either you don't know who Cam Newton is, or you don't know who Michael Vick is, because no way in hell Newton moved like Vick.
It wasn't just that Mike Vick had tremendous speed at 4.3, it's that he MOVED differently from everyone else. He didn't look like a QB or even a CB or WR, it's like in the game his speed went up to 4.1 and he had such tremendous body control and agility. It's like everyone else was running on ice and Vick was running on land. His speed and maneuvering on the field were absolutely freakish. He also had an all-time great arm, guy could throw absolute darts and bomb it 80 yards downfield. Crazy athlete.
10:45 "It seemed like, he was like, a videogame character playing out on the field"
Mike Vick: Literally pulls the Goldeneye crouch against a defender
I am surprised they didn't include Walter Payton.
Can't forget Reggie White.
Fax
He’s not really a freak athlete though…
@@PastLifeVillian I saw a video of the strongest NFL players of all time. Had Larry Allen at number 1. Last clip showed Reggie throwing Allen down like he was a kid.
@@nascarsteve Larry Allen was a rookie in that clip, never happened again after that. He only did 18 bench press reps, and generally these videos are done for people with supreme combine results
@Nice Crook he's s freak athlete he threw 300 pound offensive lineman consistently like they were kids
That Larry Allen play blows my mind every time I see it. Anthony Munoz, Bruce Matthews and Larry Allen are the Holy Trinity of offensive linemen.
21:07 And Bo Jackson never liked running out of bounds. At the end of a run up the sideline, he’d turn back inside and gain a few extra yards. But he didn’t do it just for the few extra yards, he wanted to lay one more hit on a defender to remind him who he was playing against. Yes, he played the game very physically as shown by the example of him turning back in bounds to get one more hit on a defender to wear the defender down physically, but he also did it because he wanted to wear the defender down and punish him psychologically. Bo Jackson was amazing and by far my most favourite player of all time (at least of all MY time alive on earth lol).
Shit that was impressive watching that big Lineman Allen chase down that defender that's alot of weight to be hauling around
Where's Julio?
I would have put Lawrence Taylor on this list, the most feared, respected and talented defensive player of all time. If Calvin Johnson hadn't retired early he would be in the top 3 receivers ever, size, speed, strength, athleticism and hands. The complete package. Barry Sanders is the goat of running backs.
Very surprised not to see Adrian Peterson on this list. How did he get left behind so many other running backs? I am just confused...
No Regie White?
I'd love to see a 40 yard and 100 yard foot race between Moss, Green, Deion, CJ2k, Megatron, Hester, Tyreek, and Henry. And anyone else really fast.
Derrick Henry is nowhere near the level of speed those other guys are at
@@MrWizkid84 On the contrary, in the 2021 season he hit a speed of 21.8 mph and nobody matched it all season. While his 40 might not be as fast as those guys, his 100 might be. His top speed is actually pretty insane.
@@hybridce99 tyreek has topped 23 before it’s not even close
@@MrWizkid84 Google says nope, 22.6 is tyreek's fastest. Bro, do some basic research before posting.
put bob hayes in modern day shoes on a modern day track and he'd smoke all of them. none of those guys has olympic gold medals and world records that lasted for decades.
Adrian Peterson, Rob Gronkowski, and Terrell Owens were super physical athletic freaks!
Good list 😮
How can you not have the original freak in the top ten Javon Kearse
Lamar Jackson should be on this list somewhere he did break a bunch of Vick records
Kinda fair, but we gotta see more of his career before he's on a list like this. If his career keeps up like this, totally agree
@@pickardw Well, if Saquon Barkley can be on the list (which he was), then Lamar definitely deserves to be on the list.
The run by Barry Sanders at 7:50 in mind boggling. They attempted to tackle him 'after' he's gone. Helmets are smashing into each other - he's running toward the end zone.
I knew an OL player for the Raiders who was around Bo Jackson from Day 1 in the NFL. He saw Bo up close and said that he was BY FAR he was the fastest man who ever lived. And was physically Perfect in appearance. Not an ounce of fat. Carved out of Granite. And Nobody ever challenged him. Even the position coaches were scared of him.
Mike Vick was truly such an insane talent. Just stupidly fast with an absolute cannon.
Ray Lewis should be a honorable mention
Shawn Taylor, Kam Channelor, Gronk, LT, the Bus, so many freaks in the NFL
If Mike vike played today he’d have 1500 rushing yards
How can Rob Gronkowski not be on this list?????????
The thumbnail was enough for me! 😊❤🎉 AD the WHOLE PACKAGE!!!
Barry Sanders was a like a musical improvisation. I have never seen somebody have so much agility and balance on one leg.
Cam newton needs to be here
Top ten in history. You are for sure delusional
@@rockchalk9078 prime cam was different
@@patrickegan6203 I know. And Prime Cam was very good but still lol... We're talking top ten. So would you put LT over Cam?
JJ Watt is just the lunch pail type athlete that you'd let date your daughter. He's first in the gym, last out
That's the whole Watt family tbh
Lot of grit, toughness, high IQ player, nothing flashy but he gets it done the right way. A truly fundamental player. Super scrappy too, he just finds a way.
He's an absolute gym rat, plays with a high IQ, and is deceptively fast
Good list, but you cant argue with bo at #1. Bigger, stronger, quicker, faster, quicker reflexes.
Lol honorable mention for Dk. He is a human freak of nature.
The only things that held back Barry Sanders:
1. Playing for the Lions.
2. Primitive shoe technology. He utterly destroyed 2-4 pairs of shoes per game, tearing the soles out of them due to his insane cuts and speed.
3. Poor field turf. He would cut so hard that he ripped normal grass turf and AstroTurf to pieces.
Imagine what he could have done with today's technology? 😳
Great list, but there are a few missing names here....
Lawrence Taylor - possibly the greatest athlete in NFL history. One of the craziest of the field as well, but he was just dynamic.
Marshawn Lynch - Beastquake, Beastmode engaged.
Eric Dickerson - Elegant, powerful running personified.
Adrian Petersen - Came back from an ACL injury to be the best running back in the game. Athleticism is also about durability and recovery from injury.
Hershell Walker - He's a joke now, but back in the day there was no one like him, he definitely deserves an honourable mention (just ignore everything after he retired.....)
Couldn't agree more with #1 though. Bo Jackson was just on another level when it came to atheltic ability. Size, power, speed, hand-eye co-ordination, reflexes, balance. Only person ever to be an All-Star in two professional US sports. Bo knows :)
No Lawrence Taylor?
Not a freak athlete
Crack made LT super human
It's wild how effortless Vick makes it look. Like he so fast it looks like they are moving so much and still not keeping up
Daryl Green was amazing in his speed. They still don't give this man enough credit. So many beasts...loved JJ watts!! True beast!!
- Jerry Rice
- Julio Jones
- Marshawn Lynch
- Adrian Peterson
...how they didn't make the list or the honorable mentions is pretty wild.
Your list of player unjustly left out is doo-doo!
Walter. Payton. If you wouldn't take him over every other RB ever, that just means you didn't watch him play. (okay, maybe Barry)
If Bo Jackson was all in on football, and if he doesn’t get hurt, he’s the greatest player in sports history.
Never even had 1,000 yard season and yall talk about him like a top running back of all time. Most overrated player in history
@@PastLifeVillianFr there making him overrated in football
@@PastLifeVillian He never played a full season (split time with baseball, his primary sport) and was sharing the backfield with Marcus Allen. He still managed 5.4 ypc. Raw statistics don't tell the whole story.
2:22 nasty closing speed
Polamalu not even an honorable mention? Seriously
Lt need to be in this list
I’ll say this right now. Emmit wasn’t better than Barry(even though he has the numbers). It was because of that offensive line Emmit got where he was. If Barry would’ve had HALF the Offenses that Emmit had, there would NEVER be a doubt on who the greatest RB was.
yep, every one of these threads contains a comment just to shit on emmit. Yet, none of emmit's highlight films have anything to do with his o-line. Just him making the defense miss or just plowing right over them. Barry gets the consolation prize of praise by every cowboys hater cause he didn't get super bowls or records like emmit did. We had a great O-line. if you think an o-line by itself wins super bowls then you're an idiot.
