Bowden and Holtz both said he was the best athlete ever at their respective schools and he never even played for them. Jackson was great. Brown was too. Deion Sanders was too. Joe Mauer is another top one. Maybe Dave Winfield is comparable.
Well if Lou Holtz said something it must be true.

Bo Jackson was a better athlete and so was Jim Brown. Aside from running the fastest 40 yard dash ever at the combine, Jackson also ran track at Auburn and qualified for Nationals his freshman and sophomore years. I'll take that over being the HS state champ in West Virginia, but just for good measure Jackson was also a two time state champ in the 100 meter dash, in Alabama. He was as good as Moss, if not better in college, he averaged over 6 yards per carry and won a Heisman. He was able to make an all star team in pro baseball and pro bowl in the NFL in his brief career.
