Athletic Freaks of Nature?

[links18]

I hear this expression from time to time here. But what does it mean? Who are examples of these athletic freaks we have had? I can think of three that might qualify: Herschel Walker, Deion and T.O. Any others we have been been blessed with to wear the star?

Bob Hayes, Hollywood maybe. Dorsett wouldn’t be far behind .

Bo Jackson is probably the best example.

sorry, I missed the qualifier about wearing the star. Although I bet that sometime in his childhood he probably wore some Dallas swag

 

[VaqueroTD]

This year? Micah Parsons. I would put Tyron Smith there too.

The all time freak athlete is prob Jim Thorpe.

Bo Jackson a star in two sports injury perhaps robbed him of ability to be in two HOFs
Larry Allen (strong as an OX). He was freaky strong
Jim Brown, a guy that big, that fast in that Era.
Dion Sanders...fast, tall, multi sport, not as good as jackson, but he was great CB, best all time
Dak Prescott LOL

Came back to add him but you beat me to it. Really impressive resume.

I was going to say:
Bo
Deion
Moss
Allen
I didn't say Jim Brown because I didn't see him play.

Barry Sanders. If he had played for Dallas back in his prime............... holy geebus.

Barry averaged over 1600 yards per season for 9 seasons. If he had played 14 seasons like Emmitt he would have beaten Emmitt by over 5000 yards.

 

[Ranching]

Deahaun Watson is a freak.....maybe not an athletic freak...but, he is freaky..

If Deion was called for that arm bar, Dallas would have come back and beat the 49ers, then embarrassed the Chargers and won four in a row.

If is used by the fans of the team with the least amount of points on the scoreboard.

If is a word that entertains fantasy, but never reality.

Larry Allen was a freak of nature.
