4. Bo Jackson

Bo Jackson is just really cool. He’s possibly the best athlete in the history of American sports and could have been a Hall of Famer in baseball or football if he was dedicated to one but that’s just not how Bo rolls. There’s a generation of Raiders fans that chose to follow the Silver and Black because of Bo’s exploits and the legend that he created over those four glorious years in Los Angeles.

If you’ve watched the ESPN 30 for 30 “You Don’t Know Bo”, you would have seen a humble guy who spoke about the incredible things he did in the most matter of fact tones. His legendary exploits in high school and college are just as incredible as the ones in the pros and he’s another person who you could spend hours talking to about the glory days.

We could discuss how Al Davis bent the rules for him, why he chose to play both sports instead of focusing on one, and how he felt after running over Brian Bosworth on Monday Night Football. We could even spend some time talking about his time in Major League Baseball though that’s a bit less interesting than rushing for 200 yards on Monday Night.
