yeah Dick Groat most under appreciated in these lists generally, as the above noted.

also a first round 3rd overall NBA pick and played for a bit in NBA but I think he then went to the Military.

after serving he went straight to MLB without any time in minors and got 3rd in rookie of year voting.

he's still going at age 87 as Pittsburgh Basketball commentator for Panthers

Deion and Bo also made Brian Jordan become widely overlook, he was a top 10 all time achiever in two major sports

He was better in baseball then either Deion or Bo and had a pretty successful short career in the NFL going to Pro bowl as an alternate I believe
