With rumor of Dobbs wanting to play baseball as well it made me think...who are some of the best 2 sport athletes, college or pro? Obviously there is Bo but who else you got? Charlie Ward and Neon Deion come to mind.

Maybe not the best but Julius Peppers, besides his obvious dominance at DE, was a beast on the basketball court for UNC.

Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders

Had both guys come through my clubhouse in Seattle. Bo loved my wife's banana pudding. Bo was a tremendous specimen with his shirt off. Very talkative. Deion was surprisingly very quiet when he came into town with the Yankees.

One of my neighbors was a two-sport athlete. Ron Reed, who pitched for the Braves in the late '60s, early '70s, also played in the NBA for a time. Ron won 18 games for the Braves in '69 when they won the West Division the first year the leagues divided.
He's a great guy to boot.
