re: Why do Auburn fans think Bo Jackson was a better running back than Herschel

That list came from literally the NFL itself. It's on their website.

It came from one writer that works for NFL Network. Barry Sanders is almost unanimously considered at the worst a top 5 RB and he had him 8. How can you defend a list that has a rookie (Elliot) among the greatest of all time. It's another click bait article to get people talking.

Here's another list (top ten) from that very same writer. In this he has Barry Sanders no.2 not 8.Some of the other player's rankings are different. He also doesn't even have Bo Jackson among his 6 honorable mentions.

If plenty of people truly considered Bo among the greatest of all time he would be in the Pro FB HOF or at least in the discussion for it. I do believe he had the talent to do so but others things came in the way.
