_ Bo Jackson.... _

But Bo was football and baseball; those sports don't cross the same time-line as football and basketball.

I did get to see Bo play for Kansas City against the Red Sox years ago; he was a special athlete.

If he had never destroyed his hip.....he is more than likely the greatest athlete ever. He was just built right. Like Jim Brown, only better.

_ I like those big 6-5 wide receivers. _

Hell yea!

Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates did fairly well for themselves. And dont forget, Brandon Stokley was a member of the Cajun basketball team his freshman year.
I'd like to see that happen. Especially if Deshaun McNeal is as good a basketball player as JohnBoy says he is.

I never knew Brandon was on the basketball team ... maybe we had not moved back by then. Did he play much?

Oops. Good catch, forgot about that!

His coaches in High School and at Auburn wanted him to play...because he was really really good, but Bo didn't like Basketball. He also ran track if I am not mistaken. Think about Bo in college Basketball....think Larry "Granmama" Johnson...but bigger and faster. He would have dominated.

No. Not sure he played at all. I just tried to look it up real quick, and all I could find were stats back to the 96-97 season. Brandon was a freshman in 95-96. I can't recall ever seeing him play, but I do remember him running lay-up lines in pregame, and being dressed out on the bench.
