True. I never got to watch him in person because he got injured a couple months after I was born, but I've seen numerous highlight films of Bo and had he stayed healthy, he could have been the best running back in NFL history.

I'm 23 and missed out on watching him play , but my father did and hes a huge sports guy , he informed he's never seen a player like Bo before ... But injuries killed him put him in today's age with the medicine and surgery now and he'd be the best we've ever had .

Bo and its not really even close. Not sure who would say otherwise if you had seen him play in person.

The answer to this question is clearly Bo, but even today, I don't think anyone's coming back from a hip replacement to play in the NFL.

Ed Reed would tell you you're wrong about that... and then proceed to prove your overall point by playing like a shell of his former self in the process, and also shying away from as much contact as possible (something that's kind of hard for a RB to pull off).

I did not know he had a hip replaced. Damn.

There's a reason Tecmo Bo is a legend and Tecmo Deion is not.

Bo. Easily.

The downside to that is, put him in today's age, and he would be linked to steriods. He came around at the perfect time.
