I honestly don’t know where this came from, but it’s an absolutely stunning fact that’s going around social media this week.
If I were to ask you who had more rushing yards in their NFL career between Bo Jackson — a running back who might have been the greatest athlete of this or any generation — and quarterback Jim Harbaugh (remember, he was a decent player before he was head coach), who would you say?
Jackson, of course.
BUT YOU’D BE WRONG.
Harbaugh had a 14-year career with four teams and somehow ran for 2,787 yards despite having a career-high of 338 in 1991.
Jackson, sadly, had just four years in the NFL, with a career cut short by injuries. He ended up with just 2,782 yards.
SERIOUSLY!
