    He actually found that t-shirt packed away in a storgage locker that he and his kid were going through on the 30 for 30 docutmentary.

    Although his NFL career will always be defined by him getting steam rolled by Bo Jackson, he wasn't terrible. Injuries are what derailed him or I believe he would've been a decent pro; but certainly not as dominant as he was in college.

    And he really didn't get steamroller at all. Clearly Bo got the better of him but there have been far better "oh shit" moments.

    I think that play has been over dramatized because of Bosworths mouth.

    Disappointing isn't it? Over the years I had it built up in my mind to something like a steamroller crushing a rat.

    True and in addition, there's not a defensive player who's ever played the game that would have stopped Jackson and the leverage he had on that play. Certainly is hype more than anything on that play.
