Default Greatest athlete of all-time

Come on, that guy was a self-promoter. If it wasn't for his mouth you would have never known he was on the field in the first place. And let's face it, cornerback isn't exactly the hardest position.

Dave Winfield excelled at three sports in college, drafted by four teams and played one professionally. How is this better than Bo playing three sports in college, being drafted by two teams and playing for two. If you want to go down the route of being drafted in other sports don't forget John Elway was drafted by the Yankees.

I will still take Bo Jackson. He was drafted by the Yankees out of high school. Won the Heisman trophy as the best college football player and was going to be selected number one in the draft. Played two sports professionally. And is still the only player to appear in two professional all star games. He was a human highlight reel.

Nothing against Dave Winfield though. One of my favorite players.
