Initially Jackson had said he would continue to focus on baseball and would not sign, but his interest was piqued. Thus, a contract was negotiated where Jackson would be permitted to play the entire baseball season with the Royals and would report to the Raiders once the season was finished.

Jackson joined the Raiders in time for their Week 8 match-up against the New England Patriots , where he rushed for a total of 37 yards on eight carries. Jackson shared the backfield with Marcus Allen , himself an All-Pro and former Heisman Trophy winner, but eventually supplanted him as the featured running back despite being listed as the team's fullback.

Perhaps his most notable performance in his rookie season came on Monday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks in Week Prior to the game Seahawks linebacker Brian Bosworth insulted Jackson and promised in a media event before the game to contain Jackson. Jackson responded by running over Bosworth on his way to a touchdown near the goal line.

He also made a yard run in the 2nd quarter, to the outside, untouched down the sideline. Jackson rushed for yards that night and two touchdowns. He added a third with a reception. The yards was a single-game record for the Raiders at the time. In his rookie season, Jackson rushed for a total of yards on only 81 carries for a 6. He played in seven games, starting five, and scored a total of six touchdowns four rushing, two receiving. The next year, Jackson played in ten of the Raiders' sixteen games with nine starts, recording a total of yards and three touchdowns.

Jackson's season was his best in the league. In eleven games, with nine starts, Jackson rushed for a total of yards with a 5. In his abbreviated campaign, Jackson rushed for yards and was selected to the only Pro Bowl of his career. Jackson suffered a NFL career-ending hip injury from a seemingly routine tackle at the end of a yard run in a playoff game on January 13, , against the Bengals. In his four seasons in the NFL, Jackson rushed for 2, yards and 16 touchdowns with an average yards per carry of 5. He also caught 40 passes for yards and two touchdowns. In his last game, the aforementioned playoff victory over Cincinnati in January , Jackson suffered a dislocated hip following a tackle.

In the film You Don't Know Bo , Jackson claimed that after he discovered the injury, he physically popped his hip back into the socket and in the process damaged the blood vessels supplying blood to the area. Within a month of the injury, Jackson had been diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the hip joint.

Bo Jackson

He also was found to have lost all of the cartilage supporting his hip. Jackson would return to competition with the White Sox toward the end of the baseball season. Jackson became a popular figure for his athleticism in multiple sports through the late s and early s. He endorsed Nike and was involved in a popular ad campaign called " Bo Knows " which envisioned Jackson attempting to take up a litany of other sports, including tennis , golf , luge , auto racing , and even playing blues music with Bo Diddley , who scolded Jackson by telling him, "You don't know Diddley!

Touchdown" Angelosetti have a finishing move called "Bo Jackson". Called "the greatest athlete in video game history", [42] Jackson's digital counterpart was nicknamed by fans as "Tecmo Bo" since being featured in the video game Tecmo Bowl for the Nintendo Entertainment System , where he was all but untacklable. The game featured both baseball and football. Jackson made an appearance in the video game NFL Street 2. Jackson was a character in ProStars , an NBC Saturday morning cartoon show which also featured Wayne Gretzky and Michael Jordan fighting crime and helping children, although neither he, nor Gretzky, nor Jordan voiced their respective characters.

He was also in the episode 'Naked Babies' on Diagnosis Murder , playing a nanny to four babies who had just had their mother kidnapped. Bo Jackson's number 34 jerseys are still sold by the Oakland Raiders. Before Royals games, Jackson used to shoot at a target with a bow and arrow in the Royals clubhouse. In , Jackson completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Child Development at Auburn [3] to fulfill the promise he made to his mother.

The New Adventures of Superman and Married Jackson is married to Linda, a rehabilitation counselor , and has three children — sons Garrett and Nicholas, and a daughter, Morgan. He is one of the bank's advisory directors and is said to be "rolling up his sleeves" and working along with everyone else to make sure that the small bank becomes a success during tough financial times. We're a small community bank and one thing we all decided, is that if we are going to do a bank in our community, it needs to be owned by the people who live in the community.

The White Sox went on to win that game on a 9th-inning walk-off home run, then swept Houston Astros for their first championship in 88 years. In his second appearance, he easily defeated amateur athletes in a home run-hitting contest. When he bunted instead of swinging on his final try for a home run, the announcer stated: He is part-owner and CEO of the facility.

He has been successful with other investments, including a food company, N'Genuity. He often says that while he may have been great for sports, sports were no doubt greater for him considering the post-career opportunities that have been afforded him. On May 9, , Jackson delivered the commencement speech at Auburn University's graduation ceremony.

His speech was centered on the benefits of stepping out of one's comfort zone. On July 12, , Jackson threw the ceremonial first pitch before the Home Run Derby at Angel Stadium and participated in the celebrity softball game. In December , he was named a winner of the NCAA Silver Anniversary Award , given annually to six former NCAA student-athletes for distinguished career accomplishment on the 25th anniversary of their college graduation.

In April , Jackson participated in Bo Bikes Bama, a five-day, mile gran fondo in support of victims of the tornado outbreak in Alabama. The five-day gran fondo was a one-time event and has become an annual [57] maximum single-day gran fondo lasting approximately 62 miles.

In a interview with USA Today , Jackson admitted he never would have played football if he had known the health risks associated with it. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Because if there was one person on the Hill who would make sure that the people up there could sleep easy at night, it was Bo. He was a protector. But if you got on his bad side, there was really no help for you.

But Bo was more than that — and for a very good reason. There was a reason that he had a garden. There was a reason that even in April, he was stocking food for the following winter. The past is a bit of a blur. But there was always the constant. Bo was always the constant. He was perfectly happy to live off what he could make himself, raise himself, pick from the ground himself. He had to protect his baby. One of his hearts was like rock, and the other was soft just like modeling clay. She trailed him up and down the road the mornings he went to pull water in the five-gallon buckets that he held in his hands, which seemed almost effortlessly lifted as he went up and down the Hill to get water.

Kevin says that it was like Bo was a demon, he could be equally merciful or wicked depending on where you were standing. He had those two hearts pulling inside him, always trying to gain an advantage. And when that night came with Shannon and the Jeep, it seems clear what side won out. Although they were just cousins, Bo and Lee were virtually inseparable when they were growing up. Photo courtesy of the family. You need to know that he was a Ford man, would even pass up the opportunity for a Porsche if given the option, because he believed God gave Ford as a gift to the world.

You need to know that he could eat. That he ate cereal from a punch bowl. Ate snake, squirrel, rabbit, mushrooms, blackberries, ham — and virtually anything that came out of the ground. You need to know that the man, the way he looked, could send people to the other side of the street. But also that for every year of his life, he had a cake featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and would have taken the toys even in his 20s had someone actually given them to him. That the spray on his casket almost matched the color scheme from the cartoons.

One of his hearts was like rock and the other was soft just like modeling clay. When the two got together, they talked about death and other things. They talked about the pickup Bo had just purchased, and how proud he was of that little red truck. But for all its twists and variations, the conversation inevitably came back to death. He lived the best he knew how to live, he lived it. When Tom died, Bo was there to give him mouth to mouth. It was already too late, they told him. And when he was killed up there on the Hill, that last protector was suddenly gone. Her safety net had been taken away.

There was no one there to catch her. A clock chimes on the hour with bird calls instead of bells. A bag of potatoes is on the ground. The family is spread out on the couch, slumped over the side of the ottoman, halfway in the kitchen, halfway out the door. Bo is on the television.

He is putting his face into a cake frosted with the likeness of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Holding his daughter, Makaylee, on his lap. Celebrating a 21st birthday, not entirely sober. Country as country can be. Not everyone can stand to see it one more time, because of what it means. But there she is, behind the couch, eyes fixed on the screen. She is a small woman with sharp features. Big eyes that are frequently ringed below or swallowed up with hints of red or blue or even green powder. The afternoon has gone by in a blur. These are the things that keep Bo alive.

She talks about how important it is that the family continue to host these dinners. When Tom died, they let the death drive them all apart. Dee comes around to the family on the other side of the couch. The road to the Hill. Other things which appeared and comforted and consoled were more tangible, less open to interpretation or skepticism.

Things that would have under any other circumstance been claimed as coincidence but that now took on special meaning. Things that people clung to. The house is made of wood. There are three ashtrays on the table with several new-looking stubbed-out additions, indications of the one vice she allows herself and which has imbued her speech with a certain raspiness shared by many in the family. It makes her seem smaller than she is. She leafs through the photos stacked in bricks filling the Ziploc bags and albums spread over the couch.

Fine to the extent that it can be fine. It makes me too sad. All the obligations pressing her forward start to press once again. There are bills and petty disputes to be addressed and resolved, affairs to be made right and rectified. Dee and one of the many photo albums she has filled with pictures of Bo.

Dee calls and says she should have said something before. The back porch is screened in and looks out onto a barn, the woods, and it has a green couch with legs that have been clawed into tatters. Taking the two urns, she curled into the corner of the couch, looked out through the window, and she drank her coffee with her son and her husband. It ought to be said outright that the two men the Hill took away, her son and her first husband, died in very different ways.

Because getting together requires commitment. Reality is if Dee calls, people get killed. The hill was a place that Bo left for a few years after his dad died, but then he came back because the trailer there was a place he could rent for cheap. They still have family up there.

Makaylee will never have the father that she should have, but people around her will tell stories about how he lived, and because he was a good man, and because he was a strong man, those are better than they might have otherwise been. People can stay alive in many ways, and the gatherings that they have now are where Bo will be most present. Then Lee and Angie start up the Hill. It was the beginning of the end.
