Deion Sanders or Bo Jackson: Who's the Better Athlete? | Good Morning Football | NFL Newtork

so Bo Jackson heard of him yeah he claims he ran a 4.13 40-yard dash at the 1986 combine our very own and if Lynette works Deion Sanders claims that he ran a sub 4.2 40-yard dash at the combine and then never looked back literally never looked back who was the better legendary athlete of the two is it Dean or Bo [Music] ridiculous question I'd rather push one of my friends off a cliff I'm sorry guys maybe asteroid yeah you're right okay give me the asteroid it's like asking me to choose between my grandmother's I can't really do it but I'll Dion and Grandma Bob I'll break it down like this Dion was everything that his name said it was primetime everywhere he went with the curl and the chains and athletic ability to speed the power he played with the grace he played on the field and on diamond with he was one of the best ever but when you're asking legendary status I'm gonna have to go with Bo Jackson and here's the thing I'll say he tips the scales in a way literally tips the scales Dan was 200 pounds bro was to 30th one of the fastest humans to ever hit this planet in his runs his longest runs his career even though it was only four years in the event hip injury that we all hated 91 yards 92 and 88 when he had the video game bo Jackson and we thought this is unrealistic none enough my brother had that we flipped it over yes it was it was ball playing video game in real life so I'm gonna bow Jackson okay that's as tough as it gets though back in 89 coming sign the dotted line people make fun of Dion's album I had I knew every single word of it I bought it when I was 14 years old I took it dead serious he was my idol and then bo was the other guy so I'm this is very very hard for me I did find something that kind of swings it I think Dion himself is sort of weighted and Dion told a story I think it was on Dan Patrick when he was an 18 year old freshman at Florida State they played Auburn they played Bo and Dee Ann tells a story that they ran a sweep away from him with beau other side of the field and Dion's like but I can fly so I caught up with him and I went to tackle him when I went to tackle him he put his hand out on my helmet and palm my helmet like he was praying for me and then pushed me down into the ground and that's my bo Jackson experience he seems to go with Bo and then there's also a great exhibit that hammer found online last month someone asked it's Black History Month who are some of the great black athletes of all time can we show Deion Sanders tweet in response to this Deion straight-up said Bo Jackson no questions asked no explanation Deion Sanders is my favorite athlete of all time I believe bo Jackson is the greatest Peter Schrager sorry to put you in this difficult situation out in Indianapolis but tell me if I'm wrong Deion Sanders went to a World Series and he went to a Super Bowl well Jackson didn't do that what do you think can with the fuel well Bo didn't play with Steve Young already didn't play with Trey I'm saying I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that there were these two legends just going back and forth playing both sports at the same time madness I can't even imagine what that would look like today that's crazy and K was in the same era so you had your Bono's guys you know bo knows and all those commercials and then you had primetime who had his whole other thing going on one of them was going on in LA which was the center of the universe at the time the other one was going on in Atlanta which was the center of the East Coast at the time with the hip hop culture booming so you got pop culture stuff coming you've got athleticism I'm going Dion I'm going Dion because I feel like Dion has set the standard for cornerback play in the NFL and I'm saying that Dion also was a very accomplished baseball player for those Atlanta Braves teams and he played in big moments sorry Tim McCarver that's just how it is so you've got Dion here you played wide receiver obviously in plays you also kick return a punt return Deion Sanders is a pro Football Hall of Famer and viewed as the greatest defensive back of his generation bo Jackson is maybe the greatest athlete of all time but we talked about accomplished players Deion Sanders is on the first ballot cornerbacks in NFL history bo Jackson probably doesn't make the list of first ballot running backs in NFL history I'm going with prime time one day I will ball and one day I will get the call and I will have a better voice than I do today so if Adele is that it is it even or they even better like Odell and Antonio Brown not even comparable really yeah even better I mean ya know and a tonio friend yeah Tonio brown it would be if it would be I would like to go here but LeBron James quite football that's what it would be honestly it's it would be that big a name in the culture and how it is Odell and Antonio they're great players they don't even scratch the surface of pop culture relevance of would be on and Bo were back when we were in the 90s it's true and Peter be careful on your six I think Tim McCarver is going to dump a pail of water over your head in the middle of this just watch out for that I also I'd like to ask that Dion hi not a real man I I know the dance on the network I don't know what Dianna and Bo's relationship is I don't know if they're friends I don't know if they're good I member years ago Dick Schaap wrote Bo Jackson's book and Boas quote is saying Dion's crackers don't sit well in my bowl of soup which was this weird weird way of saying they didn't drive so I would ask I don't know if they're friends if they're in kind of like I hope they are because they're too great and I'll add this being that I love the business of sports both changed the landscape of Nike there's three athletes it's Michael Jordan of course and then bojack's came along and flipped that whole brand upside down and every single athlete including LeBron James had been riding the wave ever since intercourse Dion yep and Tiger and Dion is in the middle of that as well but bo Jackson game changer for Nike absolute game changer
