Bo Jackson was a career .250 hitter who struck out a lot, but could run, throw, and hit for good power.
He edged Iowa QB Chuck Long in one of the closest Heisman votes ever his Sr. year.
Bo wasn't even a top 10 finalist for the Heisman as a freshman, sophomore, or junior.
Nike did a great job inflating his reputation. There certainly have been much better baseball players and there certainly have been better college running backs.
Every single season Herschel Walker had in his 3 seasons at Georgia were all better than Bo's best season at Auburn.
