One of Lesnar's old MMA coaches claimed that his measurables(40 time, bench press, vertical jump)were equal to or better than Mario Williams but he was so raw when it came to understanding how to play football that the Vikings wound up not signing him?



I would say T.O. in either boxing or MMA...great size, great athleticism, grew up rough, mean streak, put the beats on a much larger Hugh Douglas:whistle: , and was never someone who totally could make the team concept work....he needed to be an athlete that only had to rely on himself...then he could've been champion.

And you know he could've sold the hell out of a fight w/ his sh!t-talking:popcorn:.

stupidest shyt you ever said

Bo was so far behind a guy like Barry its a joke, meanwhile Deion is the undisputed GOAT corner. so hows that work?

Bo barely started half of his NFL career (and when he did, it was @ FB), he was the 2nd best RB on his own team

bo jackson in his prime is top 3 at a much more competitive position.

lol what?

what did he ever do in his 3 healthy seasons that suggests this? between Marcus and Roger Craig, he was 3rd in the Bay Area alone. dont make me include Eric dikkerson, and a year later (still healthy in 89) Barry and Emmitt

people need to knock the Bo shyt off, he was a strikeout machine in baseball who hit .250, and was never a full time starter in the NFL. raw talent sure hes up there but his productivity was :manny:

Bo was a better football player than Deion? :mindblown:

Deion is top 3 ever in his position. A position that is one of the most demanding in the league.

you're trippin nikka. no way theres some sort of collective consensus that deoin was the better football player. bo jackson in his prime is top 3 at a much more competitive position.

unless we're saying longevity plays a part...which it shouldnt in this case.

did you idiots (more than you said this) ever watch primetime play football?

was bo jackson a great RB? yes of course, and i already said all around he was a better athlete cuz bo was crushing baseball also, and deion was so-so

but deion is ARGUABLY the best cover corner EVER.. and by EVER that means in the whole history of the NFL -

so get the fukk outta here saying bo jackson was a better football player than deion, im convinced some of you guys didn't/haven't see any of these athletes play and just regurgitate what other say or some other bullshyt with no first hand recollection/information

the only person Deion couldn't shut down was jerry rice. gee i wonder who he is. oh right the best Wideout to ever play the game
