Video: Bo Jackson and Brian Bosworth reunite for ‘Tecmo Bo’ ad

Auburn legend Bo Jackson will forever be linked to former NFL linebacker Brian “The Boz” Bosworth. While playing for the Oakland Raiders, Jackson trucked through Bosworth — then a member of the Seattle Seahawks — to score a touchdown in a nationally televised Monday Night Football game in 1987.
Nearly 29 years later, the two have reunited for the latest of Kia’s “Tecmo Bo” ads.
While Jackson is regarded as one of sports’ greatest two-sport athletes, he’s arguably as well known for being the most dominant character in the late 1980s and early 1990s video game series “Techmo Bowl.”
Like many YouTube videos, the ads show Jackson weaving through opposing defenses, only this time he’s behind the wheel of a Kia Sorento SUV.
