He didn't play full time football though. And he also shared carries with Marcus Allen. So it isn't surprising he didn't get to the 1000 yard mark because he only played 2/3 of the season. Al Davis let him finish the baseball season and then report in September or October. Deion was much better in football, because he skipped baseball in some years. Bo didn't have a good start, because he refused to play football after the Buccaneers tanked his college baseball season, and spent the next few years playing baseball out of spite. He only played for the Raiders because Al Davis let him play baseball and didn't put any restrictions on what he could do. That he was able to be an elite player in both sports early on, and was just getting started, that shows how good he was. One of the MLB scouts who watched him in college said the only thing he needed was to play more baseball and the rest would figure itself out. He also ran track at Auburn and was an NCAA qualifier. So he was definitely capable of being great, it was just whether he wanted to be or if he had enough practice. The story for him in high school was he won the decathlon pole vault event, but he had never practiced it before and his high jump record stood for many years, and still might. I know it's high school, but that's pretty impressive for a guy built like that.
