Bo Jackson is arguably the greatest athlete to ever walk the Earth. He also was very nearly (and probably should have been) the running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Leading up to the 1986 NFL Draft, the Buccaneers, knee-deep in their phase as the “Yucks”, had to first overall pick after yet another putrid season. Jackson and his unofficial 4.13 40-yard dash time, was seen as that year’s draft prize, a freak athlete and former Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn.
