Bo Jackson
If there were any NFL player to get a “Last Dance” type of documentary, it would be Bo Jackson. Jackson is one of the most recognizable athletes of all time, and many feel he is the best athlete of a generation. The Heisman Trophy-winner would go on to be offered a contract by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but would refuse to play for them, and would be selected by the Raiders instead.
Jackson would be hard to negotiate with, as he wanted to play baseball still, but he would find his way into the largest non-quarterback deal in the league.
Jackson would only play 38 games in his NFL career, but the impact he left in such a short amount of time is something that cannot be argued. In 1990, Jackson would suffer a career-ending injury in a playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but this would not be the end of Jackson in sports.
After an incredible career in both professional baseball and football, Bo Jackson would go on to be endorsed by NIKE, becoming even more well known off of the phrase “Bo Knows” which is still popular today. In a short amount of time, Bo Jackson was able to dominate the MLB, NFL, merchandise, and video game world.
