Mac Engel: Why Bo Jackson thinks there won’t be another 2-sport athlete will surprise you

At 62 years old, Bo Jackson was honored in Arlington for his standout 1985 football performance at Auburn by being named to the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame.
Jackson concluded his college football tenure in 1985 and went on to play professional baseball at the highest level between 1986 and 1994, overcoming a hip injury in 1990 that nearly ended his athletic career.
He played for the Chicago White Sox in 1991, 1993, and 1994 and returned to baseball after the injury stopped his NFL career.
At AT&T Stadium, Jackson said, 'The talent pool is too deep,' and advised parents to let kids play multiple sports before choosing one in high school.
Jackson stated that today’s professional sports would not allow an athlete to compete in two sports as he did, but he remains satisfied with his legacy.
