Journalist and New York Times bestselling author Jeff Pearlman’s biography on Bo Jackson, “The Last Folk Hero,” drops next week. In anticipation, Pearlman has tweeted his top 10 favorite Jackson plays from the star’s playing days in college football, the NFL and MLB.
For those who never saw Jackson play, it’s a reminder of the otherworldly skills of the former Auburn star. For fans of the Auburn Tigers, whose offense is near the bottom of the SEC, this may be the time for you to check out.
Pearlman’s first tweet was a clip from Oct. 19, 1985, when Georgia Tech hosted Auburn. Georgia Tech was up 14-10 late in the fourth quarter when Jackson made an epic touchdown run virtually untouched on 3rd-and-6.
