Not at all. The best he could would be 80 yards on 20 carries.

Bo knows…

hehehee I am of the "Bo knows..." generation!

In the right offense.

Maybe against the Cowboys..

Could Bo 10k in 6ip and have 3HR in a single game? We dont need to compare, different eras. Remember Bo and enjoy Ohtani today.

Bo don’t know Championships.

Lotta “probably”, “maybe”, and “arguably” in these replies. Cowards every one.

Burned!

Bo was shohei in football. I think shohei could be bo's baseball equivalent. In football. If that makes sense...

Bo over anybody… …That includes Deon

I'll bet he could pass for 221 yards.

Yes. One of the greatest things ever. And I am, and was at the time, a Seahawks fan. Still love watching Bo just run over and through him like smoke trying to tackle him.

He'd throw for 10,000 yards a season.

I wish Bo could have squeezed in hockey too Could you imagine the checks and the fights?

I think you SHOULD say it! Because it's true!❤️

diddley?

Could Shohei do this

Could Bo Jackson eat sushi with chopsticks?

The horse guy?

No, but Ohtani isn't going to strike out 172 times in 515 at bats either

If Brian Bosworth refuses to set the edge then possibly

Went to a game in the Silverdome in Detroit back in the day where the Raiders played the Lions. It was Bo versus Barry Sanders and they both ran for over 100 yards. What a game

Bo knows!!

Probably the greatest athlete of the 20th century.

Nope!

Or breaking a baseball bat over his head helmet after grounding out. Bo Jackson against the Milwaukee Brewers ~ June 21, 1989.

I doubt it. I remember a football game, maybe it was that one, of seeing him running up the sideline. He was amazing!

Or run smack over Brian Bosworth?

Bo = Paul Bunyan

The odds aren't zero. 🤣🤣🤣

Or play both on the same day

If Bo’s body was broken by the NFL, then Shohei’s body would be obliterated by the NFL… Unless Shohei were like a hybrid kicker/punter/long-snapper - assuming he snaps it to himself - then maybe he could survive

Ohtani benefits from the DH. Babe Ruth didn't. Therefore Ohtani is better than Babe Ruth.

A bad troll is a waste of time only for the troll, i still get to laugh at the attempt. Swing and a miss here, ironically

Showing you are an idiot about both baseball and football🤣😂🤣😊 Just because you adore Ohtani doesNOT make him a football player There are skills that football requires that Ohtani just doesnot possess Bo Jackson PROVED that he could excel at both QBs do more than just aim a ball to a glove😁

Sho knows.

I got to see Bo Jackson play for $5 at a preseason game in Tucson when I was down there rock climbing on Mount Lemmon with a friend. Small crowd, he was signing autographs afterwards. Super chill

BO KNOWS!!!

Different body types Ohtani could have thrown or caught 400-500 in a game

Fuck no , bo was a true dual threat athlete I watched him in college and the pros it was football that gave him that devastating hip injury and it was from 1 freak sideline tackle by bengals Kevin walker , his claim of infamy

classic baseball reference 😊

Give Shohei the football. Maybe he can.

Bo knows

Maybe

If they made up some special rules for him in the NFL like the MLB, then maybe.

He probably could if he was playing against the Giants.

Bo definitely knows…

Hell yes. I saw him play baseball once. I went to the game just to see him.

Depends if he is taking the same steroids that Bo Jackson did.

I always picture that 90+ yard run he made in the Kingdome against the Seahawks. Pretty fast for a big guy 😉

No. One.... loved it when ran over Dr Pepper Bosworth!

Can Shohei catch a deep fly ball and double up a runner coming home ..with no bounce .to the catcher

Can Shohei catch a fly ball on the warning track and walk on walls?

Still taking Boz

I got a feeling Ohtani could truck a feller.

Maybe, have you seen that guy???

There's no reason to believe that Shohei couldn't have been one helluva football player but who are these baseball fans that don't know Bo? We need to talk.

TBH, I think Sho could prolly walk on water

Would be awesome.

I feel like Ohtani would be an edge rusher if he played football at his size.

No way.

Actually….

thy* shit

That's really some bullshit.

Bo’s arm was amazing! He threw a guy out from the track to home plate and on target. I have no doubt he could pitch if he wanted to.

With the right O line

He was something special.

Or play D-Back in the NFL like Prime?

He was one of those rare two sport professional players.

With his bat? Who’d stop him?

Young man doesn’t understand history.

Probably

Bo was a freak. Said he never lifted weights also said he realized he was special at nine years old.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he could

If he grew up playing football?Probably. Dude stole 50 bases and hit 50 HR IN 2024. He ranks fourth in career OPS among players today, and 6th in career ERA. Sho knows baseball.

One is arguably the greatest baseball player, the other is the greatest athlete

Well Boz was significantly overrated to begin with.

The wall in that corner read 316 feet...he was just inside the warning track...he threw a laser 300 feet on a DIME...anywhere else and the runner scores...announcer trying to simultaneously say the Royals got a break, but admitting Jackson nailed him...props to Bob Boone for a perfect catch and tag.

MRIs existed then, not sure an easy fix was possible, given the blood supply loss he had with the dislocation. But you're right, his chances would have been better with today's tech ... and yeah, Ohtani and the rest of them ... ugh, it's been sad lately as a lifelong Dodgers/Lakers fan 😞

That’s a fair question. Equally fair: could Bo pitch his way through MLB hitters and strikeout more than 750 batters across 600 innings and carry a 2.83 ERA?

Everyone go watch the video of Bo shooting a bow and arrow with his feet! It was a 30 for 30 I believe. Bo knows bow

He was my favorite running back. Still remember that cover.

Bo knows

Bo Jackson never got enough credit. I think he may have been a Hall of Famer if his baseball career wasn’t cut short.

Who cares?

Well, yeah — but, also, could Bo Jackson, in his prime, have struck out a single MLB batter?

Great question….. Because “Bo knowed and Bo showed” 🙌🏾🏈⚾️😂

or bust a bat over his knee?...

No. I always judge great athletes by them doing something I’ve never seen before. Remember when Bo caught that ball and ran up the outfield wall? Who does that?? He may also be the first I remember snapping the bat in two. Ohtani is unique too, so he’s there, but he’s no Bo Jackson.

Just two home runs would make him cover 240 yards, so yeah. Lots of times. More pertinent question is, how effective was Bo Jackson's splitter?

I’d be willing to bet he could play a nasty LB.

V confirms this claim checks out. Shohei Ohtani is a professional baseball player, not an American football player, so he has never rushed for yards in a game. Real-time fact-checks on your feed: https://veratify.ai Errors or comments: info@veratify.ai

apples to oranges

🤣 Bo knows Diddly! Ohtani is great, but he doesn't.

Niners draft assessment categorized him in a class by himself: RARE

I would like to say no but honestly I am not really sure.

I don't even know the length of a football bat.

Probably the greatest athlete of the last 100 years. But can Bo throw a 100 MPH fastball, a curve, a change up etc? Could he, in the same game, steal his 50th base, hit his 50th homer, hit three homers in the game, pitch 6 scoreless innings striking out 10 batters?

Maybe if it was a game of "Tag".
