Bo Jackson Signature Foods
“I became a food connoisseur at the tender age of 5, while watching my mother cook for my nine siblings day in and day out!
Over the years, I acquired a passion for preparing great tasting food in the kitchen; now that I am out of the world of sports that is what I do best.
I want everyone who enjoys cooking as much as I do to experience the quality of Bo Jackson Signature Foods.”
Vincent Edward “Bo” Jackson (born November 30, 1962) is an American former professional baseball and football player. He is the only professional athlete in history to be named an All-Star in both baseball and football.Jackson’s elite achievements in multiple sports has given him the reputation as one of the greatest athletes of all time.
Jackson played college football as a running back for the Auburn Tigers, and won the Heisman Trophy in 1985. He played in the National Football League for the Los Angeles Raiders and in Major League Baseball for the Kansas City Royals, Chicago White Sox, and California Angels. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1996.
In 1989 and 1990, Jackson’s name became known beyond just sports through the “Bo Knows” advertising campaign, a series of advertisements by Nike, starring Jackson alongside musician Bo Diddley, promoting a cross-training athletic shoe named “For Jackson”.
A 1991 hip injury on the field ended his football career, and his baseball career ended in 1994. Jackson expanded into other pursuits, including the completion of his Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Child Development at Auburn. In addition, Jackson appeared in small roles as an actor in television shows such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air[5] and Married… with Children, as well as films such as The Chamber.
