the bucs
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a different kind of blunder in 1986. They drafted Bo Jackson, a power back who ran perhaps the fastest 40 yards of all time — 4.12. Bo could bang as well as fly. He also could hit a baseball with power, as well as dunk a basketball and high-jump nearly 7 feet.
"Leeman, don't worry. I'll sign him," owner Hugh Culverhouse told his coach, Leeman Bennett. "So we drafted him," Bennett said. "A year later, I got fired."
Jackson rejected a record $7.6 million Bucs contract and signed with baseball's Kansas City Royals for less money. Jackson played parts of four seasons for the Oakland Raiders, who drafted him in the seventh-round of the 1987 gaffe draft.

He attented Auburn, was amazing in football and baseball. He got drafted number one to Tamba Bay but did not want to be on a horrible team so he did not play and went to baseball. A couple years later in like the 6th round the raiders were like what the heck and redrafted Bo then he actually played with them and did great
