Vincent Edward “Bo” Jackson (born November 30, 1962) is a retired professional baseball and football player. He is the only athlete to be named an All-Star in two major American sports. He was named the greatest athlete of all time by ESPN.
While at Auburn University, Jackson won the 1985 Heisman Trophy, annually awarded to the most outstanding collegiate football player in the United States.
In football, Jackson played running back for the Los Angeles (now Oakland) Raiders of the National Football League. In baseball, he played left field and a designated hitter for the Kansas City Royals, Chicago White Sox, and California Angels of the American League in Major League Baseball. He ran a 40-yard dash in 4.12 seconds (hand-timed), which is still the fastest verifiable 40-yard dash time ever recorded at any NFL Combine. A hip injury in January 1991 ended his football career and severely impaired his professional baseball career.
In 1989 and 1990, Jackson’s name became known beyond just sports fans through the ” Bo Knows” advertising campaign, a series of advertisements by Nike, that starred Jackson alongside Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician Bo Diddley, promoting a cross-training athletic shoe named for Jackson.
After a 1991 hip injury on the field ended his football career, he focused on baseball, and expanded into other pursuits, including the completion of his Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Child Development at Auburn University.
