SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Bo Jackson says he wouldn’t change a thing.
The 1985 Heisman Trophy winner told about 300 people attending a College Football Hall of Fame luncheon Thursday that people often tell him how sorry they are that his football and baseball careers were cut short by a hip injury he sustained in 1991.
The 46-year-old businessman said the injury was a blessing. The former Auburn star lives in the Chicago area and is part owner of a bank and a sports complex.
Jackson says being a businessman is just as rewarding as being an athlete. He says sports gave him opportunities he wouldn’t have otherwise had.
