Chad Jones and Jared Mitchell both won national titles in football and baseball, Chad Jones being a significant contributor for both teams.

But idk, best athlete I may go with someone like Patrick Peterson if we're just talking raw athletic ability. Him or Shaq. When Shaq was young, what he could do, how he could move, and how high he could jump at his size was absurd.

Yep.

Might not have had the two sport dominance as Bo but great at football. Finished 7th in the Olympics at bobsled, went 2-0 in Strikeforce MMA as 47 year old, and a blackbelt in some martial art.

Derrick Henry.

No man built like that should be that fast. He doesn’t get enough credit for that 2015 season.

ETA - his first TD at Alabama, you could tell he was different even if it was blowout.
