Bo Jackson

Bo Jackson was an athlete who did things on his own terms. Though drafted first overall by the Buccaneers in 1986, a disagreement with the organization led Jackson to sit out the year and pursue his other passion of baseball with the Kansas City Royals. He gave football another shot when the Raiders drafted him in the seventh round the following year, and for the next four years performed the rare feat of playing in both the MLB and the NFL before a hip injury forced him to retire from football in 1990. His baseball career didn’t last much longer, as he chose to retire in 1994 at age 32.
