Bo Jackson is 50 years old today.

[Ebanizar Edmonds]

Bo was a decatlete while in high school, won state without even running the 1500.

He was also a 9.5 guy for 100 yards, Jesse Owens ran a 9.4.

Bo toyed with track, he knew his future was in football/baseball. If he'd wanted to have been a serious trackster he's probably running a sub 10.20. Which was world class back then.

If he'd played 10 years for the Raiders he'd be right there with Payton, Brown, Sanders, Smith.

Herschel Walker was a 10.23 guy and like Bo he knew track wasn't his future. If he'd taken sprinting seriously he's probably running a sub 10.10.

The two did race while they were at Auburn and Georgia. They met in the SEC indoors in a 60. Herschel won.

No back ever dominated an era like Walker did in his USFL days.
