Bo Jackson
I've always been impressed with the way Bo Jackson has handled himself despite being a famous athlete. While being in the spotlight in the 80s and most of the 90s, you never heard one bad thing about Bo. That's rare for an athlete these days.

I was glad to see Bo on the search committee for Auburn's new head football coach. It seems like he's becoming more and more involved in Auburn's football program. And that's a good thing. Having Bo represent Auburn is a very positive thing right now after the dismal season the football team experienced this year. Just seeing him standing in the background last night when Gus Malzahn was introduced as Auburn's new head coach makes things seem a million times better.

I wonder if Bo would ever consider taking on a role with the athletics department like Athletics Director. He couldn't do any worse than the current AD. But, Bo seems like the quiet type and probably wouldn't want the AD job. It would be nice though.

The only negative thing I've ever heard about Bo and I don't really consider it a bad thing but, he didn't go to practice much while he played at Auburn. I don't know how true it is but it wouldn't surprise me. Do you blame him? He was that good.

On the topic of Bo, he will be featured on ESPN Saturday night after the Heisman Trophy presentation at 8 p.m. CT. "You Don't Know Bo" is part of the 30 for 30 series of documentaries that air on the sports network. It will take a look at the man and the myths that captured our collective imagination. I know I'll be watching.
