Bo Jackson was one of America’s most beloved two-sport athletes, having played professionally in both Major League Baseball and the NFL. After winning the Heisman Trophy as a running back at Auburn University, Jackson was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the #1 pick in the 1986 NFL Draft. However, he elected instead to pursue a career in baseball. Jackson started his MLB career with the Kansas City Royals, and later played for the White Sox and Angels as well. Eventually, Jackson decided to also play professional football, and played for several seasons with the Raiders, starting each one after the baseball season ended. His career in both sports was significantly cut short due to an injury sustained while playing for the Raiders. In addition to his athletic prowess, Bo Jackson is fondly remembered for a series of “Bo Knows” commercials that aired during his playing days.

He then threw a strike to Pete Varney to complete the two-point conversion, and, with time expiring, Harvard tied the game at 29. Both Harvard and Yale finish with identical 8-0-1 records.
