I'm not talking about Bo or Deion but guys you watched or played against who dominated and had offers to play two or more different sports.
For me it's the Dixon brothers, of course Anthony stuck with football but his brother and maybe brothers are now in the minor league.
Then there is Justin Woodall guy was a beast on the pitchers mound, was drafted by the Yankees, but choose to play football at Bama.
And the best I have ever laid eyes Billy Hamilton. Guy dominated in football, Baseball, and Basketball. Signed with MSU in football but was drafted by the Reds in the first round and is now known as the fastest man in Baseball.
There is Also the legend of Brian Cole from Meridian, Ms but I never saw him play. But just goggle "Sports Illustrated Brian Cole"

If you are talking about Anthony Dixon...RB for MSU. His brother Rashun is out of the A's organization now. He is a student at MSU and may be playing football soon.

True, a first ballot baseball hall of famer with 500 homers doesn't matter because Alabama fans don't care for baseball

Allen Iverson has been regarded as maybe the best QB in Virginia High School history.

I was going to say Frank Thomas, but someone beat me to it. Loved the guy (once he left college, of course :) )
I eventually lost interest in professional baseball after the home run race (McGwire vs Sosa) that I watched intently, only to see all the juicing and obliterating of records... and meaning nothing.
Frank was a guy that did it all on his own, during an era of chemically enhanced players. To me, that makes him a champ. The college he went to be damned.

And then Michael Vick happened.
Allen Iverson was better than Michael Vick according to pretty much everybody who saw them both play. Vick was very raw in HS.
Ronald Curry was also better than Vick.
ETA- Iverson is thought by many to be the best HS football player period in VA history, not just QB. Curry and Lawrence Taylor are the others in that discussion.

Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey Jr both did it the right way, a shame that neither was ever able to get a world series ring.

Greg Hardy came to Ole Miss for basketball. Now he is a top 3 DE in the NFL.

Chad Jones was pretty good at football and a nasty left hander on the mound.
