Thanks for posting that article...
I like to research a lot of the old school players combine information to assign them ratings in the game and this is one of my favorite scouting reports for those players

I agree with his speed and acceleration just from creating him in NCAA 11 and Madden 13.
Bo's EA's Ratings (99 speed, 98 acceleration and 97 agility) vs My Ratings For Bo (98 speed, 99 acceleration and 86 Agility)
I calculated his ratings like 3 years ago for Madden and NCAA so it's good to see that I came very close to what EA will be using for him in NCAA 14 Ultimate team.
However, I disagree with EA's Agility ratings because Bo in no way should have 97 Agility which would put him on a level with Barry Sanders. I prefer to seperate these two RB's in Agility and Strength ratings in order to make Barry cut on a dime but Bo would be the more physical runner to bring down.
Now EA does tend to inflate the Agility ratings in order to give a substantial boost in the overall ratings for their top players.........even if they didn't perform well in their NFL combine drill for agility.
Overall, I'd say they did a good job rating Bo in the game but I also fear they will have tons of other players with 90+ speed and Agility which isn't warranted.
This is my created Bo in Madden 13
Bo finishing off a run vs two defenders
Bo using his juke move
Bo breaking off a long run
