The second sentence is the only accurate one of the post.

I heard this story from Bo Jackson.

Bo only played 7 games in his first year and 10 games the other 3 years. He wasn't playing full seasons. Nor was he at training and practice like the rest of the team.
He was busy being the best athlete anyone had ever seen.

The company I work for was a sponsor for an event he spoke at.

patrick peterson rookie season

what a massive bust patrick peterson must have been after his rookie year with those shitty stats

It has been widely known, since the day that Tampa Bay cost him his senior season of baseball, that he would never play for TB under any circumstances. He wanted to play in the NFL. That is why Al Davis drafted him. If you watched the 30 for 30 on Bo, it was talked about how Al Davis asked Bo before the draft if he would play for the Raiders. That was from Davis and Bo's mouth.

How can that be considered a bust? The Raiders knew exactly what Bo was going to do and that was play baseball. Al knew the exact amount of time he would get out of Bo so the expectations were on the table as far as the time he had there.
If you are talking about the injury, are we including a career ending injury into the bust category? I think that is ridiculous. Bust is a negative term on a players expectation of skill. If he has a career ended by an injury but had success before the injury then he is a bust?
I'm sorry that makes no sense.Posted on 5/9/14 at 12:40 pm to narddogg81

So Terrell Davis and Bo Jackson are bust? Wow. The NFL will tell you different.

I have met Bo four times. I think he is one of the best humans alive.
But this is about NFL Bust. His stats and years played would put him in the bust list.

Yeah not even close. Not even taking into consideration PP7's value as a return man, those stats are useless without including "thrown-at" and TDs given up. Nice try though.

Yep, and the stats were 2013 stats not his 2011.
PP7 has 4 Punt Returns for TD's his rookie year...

my mind just imploded... i cant believe bo and bust are even in the same sentence... you might want to take a look at a few of his highlights... he targeted and destroyed some of the best LBs in the League... surely you are not this retarded... surely... right???
ETA: See Brian "Boz" Bosworth career ending hit by Bo

Even worse. After 2 years teams rarely throw at him anymore. Unless megatron is lined up across from him.
