Bosworth was a damn good linebacker at Oklahoma and in Seattle as well. I've watched his NFL videos - he had great technique and was a force for 2 years. Injuries caught up to him after that, like it does to so many other players.
He was very good with great reading skills when the offense lined up. The anabolic steroid abuse definitely worked against his physical stature. The androgens weaken the tendons and bones.
Bosworth & Bo Jackson could have had a GREAT rivalry if they'd both stayed healthy. Everybody calls Bosworth a bust but he really wasn't a bad player at all.
an underated player, the media loves to undermine his skill because of his persona. the bo jackson thing is bull, everyone misses tackles in the nfl. the film on bosworth speaks for its self.
His number with the Sooners was 44, and so named his company 44 Boz Inc. When he went to NFL, he did use the number 44 for 3 Preseason games, however once the regular season started the NFL would not let him use his number because those numbers were for defensive backs/safety, and numbers from 50-70 were for linebackers. He then filed a lawsuit and was only allowed to wear 44 for one game and then had to use 55.
These two videos along with his numbers during his short career prove Bosworth was no bust. He had the shoulders of a 65 year old man. Just couldnt play anymore.
Boz was a beast! People always associate the negative with him but he was a hell of a player. Steroids, yes, so was 75 percent of the league. Bo Jackson ran thru him, yes, but Bo ran thru every linebacker.
BS Bo got 2 yards on that carry....Boz tackled him and was playing the sideline, Bo squared up and got 2 yards. Big deal. Boz was a leader Seattle in tackles (3rd), and was All Rookie NFL team, Defensive player of the week same yr
Hi, got all the videos of his games on vhs, transferred them over to dvd and my wife 'produced' it on the Roxio, she's getting better.lol Got more to put up tho, probably 6 or more. thanks for your comment. O, did you notice that Boz posted comments on the other videos? check it out.
Boz was basically Dick Butkus in college. He was a good linebacker in the pro’s. The Bo Jackson game sort of skewed what kind of player he was. If he has stayed healthy I think he could have developed into a pro bowl caliber player. He just needed more time to develop, but injuries cut short what could have been a good career. He probably would have been like Gary Payton. Payton was dominant in college, but it took him a little while to develop in the pros.
The best thing about YOU TUBE is the ability to tell a story that needs to be told. I think you have done an excellent job here. Thanks for putting this on the net. How did you get a hold of all of this footage of the NFL games?
Hi all Boz fans. Want more BOZ??? I recently have had requests for more videos on the Boz. As some may know I've been meaning to post more highlights, however the editing software, roxio that i previously had was so tedious. Need to find something more user friendly. If anyone has any suggestions, much appreciated. Would also like to know if there is a calling for the Boz's complete football games, college and professional,just thought i'd mention it. If there are any games in particular that you would be interested in watching, I will try and upload those as well. Again, thank you for your comments and support, I certainly appreciate the opportunity that TH-cam has created awesome ads and thank them. Go Boz!! Would also like to ad that Brian Bosworth has viewed my videos and was very appreciative that i I posted these. I believe he mentioned, "humbled". If you view past comments, his name is okieboy44 :)
Madjohne is on the money. On the Bo Jackson highlight I expected a more devastating physical dominance by Bo over Boz. I was unimpressed. It did not live up to the hype. If you see a lot of Bo Jackson runs you will notice The Boz did better than most in wrapping up the two sport freak. All I know is the amount of steroids the both of these dudes were doin cancelled each other out and Bo wins barely in that infamous clip.
Hi, I'm rbg wife. Wanted to reply to the comment of the preseason highlights. The only reason these are the only highlights I made this far, is because I stopped. I always intended to put all his games' highlights for my husband, rbg. I just haven't gotten around to it. So as far as 'Volume' goes, there's nothing to it. Happy commenting
i agree with you, but i think he was more concerned about spotlight than play football. He could be a great player if he wanted to. agree also about Bo Jackson thing, Bo Jackson ran a 4.2 40 and was almost 230 pounds i'd like to know anybody can stop him.
Man if only those shoulders had stayed healthy. You can tell his shoulders bothered him. Teammates kept slapping him on the back and on the shoulders and you can see the Grimace in his face.
As someone with shoulder problems--it limits/wrecks your previous standard of athletic ability. Takes away strength and I can't imagine tackling 220-245lb guys with bad shoulders...not to mention taking on 300lb blockers...

I lived in Seattle then and this man was a force on the field and provided a lot of energy to the great northwest. Labeling him as a bust is fucked up
He could tackle clean. Those Roids make those muscles fall of your tendons. He literally JACKED Up his own career indeed.
He was very good with great reading skills when the offense lined up. The anabolic steroid abuse definitely worked against his physical stature. The androgens weaken the tendons and bones.
If Bo didn’t land in the end zone, nobody would say that he ran over Boz
I remember watching this game. Brian was a great Linebacker.
Bosworth & Bo Jackson could have had a GREAT rivalry if they'd both stayed healthy. Everybody calls Bosworth a bust but he really wasn't a bad player at all.
He was good till he was injured
Thanks for sharing these. Love to watch 80's era stuff. One of my favorite LBs of all time was Fredd Young who played alongside the Boz in 87.
in. 1987 he had 81 tackles&4 sacks in 10 games. in1988 had 82 tackles in ten games. six games he played hurt. in 1989 12 tackles in 2 games.
He was a beast, but it is a good thing he played "pre-horse collar."

He had great instincts.

Curt Warner was so damn good. Goddamn Kingdome turf.

THE BOZ was FABULOUS!
Fred young was an absolute Beast
The BOZ was a total badass
YA BOZ WAS GOOD HE COUDNT STAY HEALTHY!

Go Boz!! Would also like to ad that Brian Bosworth has viewed my videos and was very appreciative that i I posted these. I believe he mentioned, "humbled". If you view past comments, his name is okieboy44 :)
The fact that a "best of" for Boz is padded with preseason games speaks volumes.
Madjohne is on the money. On the Bo Jackson highlight I expected a more devastating physical dominance by Bo over Boz. I was unimpressed. It did not live up to the hype. If you see a lot of Bo Jackson runs you will notice The Boz did better than most in wrapping up the two sport freak. All I know is the amount of steroids the both of these dudes were doin cancelled each other out and Bo wins barely in that infamous clip.
Even Lawrence Taylor was not able to make a clean tackle on Bo.
If bos stayed healthy def a hall famer and I hated him in college. ! Beast
The Boz got off in that Chicago game .. I was talking shit to everyone that year !!!
Hi, I'm rbg wife. Wanted to reply to the comment of the preseason highlights. The only reason these are the only highlights I made this far, is because I stopped.

@madjohne Well said, 100 percent agree with you!
He was good
Boz was by no means a bust -- Talking heads need someone to tare down - Big Boz Fan !!!!!
How did Boz get to wear #44 in the San Francisco and Detroit game?
They made him change his number in the middle of the year because he was a linebacker
i agree with you, but i think he was more concerned about spotlight than play football. He could be a great player if he wanted to. agree also about Bo Jackson thing, Bo Jackson ran a 4.2 40 and was almost 230 pounds i'd like to know anybody can stop him.
those nebraska boys (Rathman and Craig) are lucky they didnt play vs the Boz in college!
Fred Young was a beast!
On special teams too.
Always wonder about high fives causing injuries...
in 1987 he played 12 games not 10 sorry about that.
whch vid man i wanna see!!! lol what was his name
Hadn't noticed the uniforms,lol.
Man if only those shoulders had stayed healthy. You can tell his shoulders bothered him. Teammates kept slapping him on the back and on the shoulders and you can see the Grimace in his face.
Boz was good in the pros - or as good as a 1 and 2 year lb can be ---- guy was just waaaaaay overhyped do kinda set himself up
Bozturd!
As someone with shoulder problems--it limits/wrecks your previous standard of athletic ability. Takes away strength and I can't imagine tackling 220-245lb guys with bad shoulders...not to mention taking on 300lb blockers...
Kinda like Reggie Bush
Boz was a very good player. It's a shame he prefer do horrible movies like stone cold instead of playing football.
