'This brotha had muscles in his breath': Bo Jackson tells a story you need to hear

Editor's note: This story is a part of a series by USA TODAY Sports called Project: June. We will publish at least one NFL-themed story every day throughout the month because fans know the league truly never sleeps.

Bo Jackson, one of the most powerful running backs in the history of the NFL, a man who once ran over Brian Bosworth with such impunity, it became legend, was asked a simple question: Have you, Mr. Jackson, ever got, got?

Meaning, did Jackson ever get blasted himself while playing in the NFL, instead of what normally happened, which was Jackson doing the blasting?

The answer Jackson provided is one of the most entertaining NFL stories you will ever hear. It’s one of those tales that takes you inside the sport, and illustrates how violent it can be.

Jackson has always been a Paul Bunyan-type figure. This story only adds to his legend.
