Deion...Bo would have been but his injury made his time too short to be the answer! He had the best few years ever ... but a few doesn’t do it!!!

Incorrect. Bo all day every day and twice on Sunday. Imagine Bo running a sweep to Deion’s side. Deion would move out of the way and then try to catch him from behind and jump on his back but there ain’t no catching a runaway freight train. And in baseball Bo was a better outfielder with more range, a better arm by a long shot and way more power and higher average. Don’t think Deion could crack a bat over his thigh or his batting helmet either.

Deion had a higher career batting average than Bo did

He's also the only athlete in history to:
- Play in both a World Series and a Super Bowl
- Hit an MLB home run and score an NFL touchdown in the same week
I'm not saying he was better than a healthy Bo, though.

Dadgummit JD you always have the actual numbers! OK Bo had 300 more total bases in just 230 more at bats. I’ll go with that.

Bo, even if it was a short period. Deion never tackled anyone in the NFL. Go back and watch some tape, he was a master at whiffing or appearing to make just enough effort to miss hitting anyone.

Bo! Deon was a great CB and decent baseball player, but Deon did not like tackling in run support. He preferred to catch the runner and try to sling them down as I remember.

Deion has rings, and is in HOF.
Bo is an all=time stud , derailed by injuries.
Both were Great.
I will take a healthy Bo every time all day.

Hard to make a comparison where they both played different positions. I'll take Prime Time being the best cover corner ever/punt returner. Think Bo could field punts? Never
Unfortunately I did witness the Rooskie game. One highlight that will never go away. It looked like all the Tigers grabbed a knee him taking it to the house getting pummeled by schedule cups

Bo. He was not afraid of contact. Deon would not tackle.

Also like Bo's attitude much better.

longevity I don't think there would even be a discussion, but since he didn't (one of the great tragedies in sports history), it has to be Deion.
