Bo Jackson, the former two-sport star and NFL running back for the then-Los Angeles Raiders, will be available for games to use on Madden at the end of this month.
If there’s one thing that entertainment entities can count on, it’s power of nostalgia for kids of the 1980’s and the 1990’s. For the latest example, consider this bit of news.

Madden NFL Mobile will provide players with the option to use Bo Jackson. Literally every person who ever played TECMO Super Bowl remembers what it was like to play with Bo Jackson. You better believe they will look forward to the chance to recreate that experience.
Here is the news, from our friends at Extra Mustard:
"Between Dec. 22 and Jan. 1, Jackson will be unlocked in the Madden Ultimate Team and on Madden NFL Mobile. Since Madden didn’t acquire NFL rights until 1993, Jackson has never been featured in the video game series."
For so long, we have told the tales of our incredible games with Bo Jackson. To some, they might even be considered tall tales. Now, if Madden did things right, we will all get the chance to prove it.
We will get the chance to prove the glory that is Bo Jackson on a video game. This is good news.
