Former NFL running back Bo Jackson delivered a hot take about today's brand of football. He claimed that he can impose his dominance even better if he played today with the way modern NFL players are playing the game.

He was apparently not impressed with the young ball-carriers in the league as he spoke on Deion Sanders' podcast:

“Nobody wrap up and tackle no more,” Jackson said, via TheScore.com. “With me being a ball carrier, my coach taught us, number one, he said, ‘I know you can run, but I’m gonna teach you how to carry that football.’ He said, ‘that football is like your newborn baby, don’t ever put it on the ground. And keep it away from the enemy.’ It’s like this – and I watch technique – I don’t see nobody hitting or wrapping up. Everybody’s running into each other and trying to use their shoulder pads to knock the ball carrier down. And I’m like, if I played during this era, man, I’d be averaging 350-400 yards a game … because nobody wraps up anymore. They run into each other with their pads.”

Despite having a short-lived career and a full-time gig in Major League Baseball, Jackson still made his name known across the league with his playing style on the ground game. In his four seasons with the Los Angeles Raiders organization, the former Heisman Trophy winner rushed for 2,782 yards and 16 touchdowns with an average yards per carry of 5.4. He also caught 40 passes for 352 yards and two touchdowns.

A career-ending hip injury sustained from a tackle in 1991 eventually cut his NFL career short. He went on to continue his baseball career with the Chicago White Sox from 1991 to 1993 before he retired with the California Angels in 1994.

Bo Jackson remains to be one of the best multi-sport athletes that the world has ever seen. However, his claim of rushing 350-400 yards could be an exaggeration as he only averaged 73.2 rushing yards per game in his 38-game football career.
