Bo Jackson has some advice for Russell Wilson, who has spent time with the Texas Rangers after winning the Super Bowl as the quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks.

"Stick to what got [Wilson] in the headlines, not baseball," Jackson said. "Twenty-five or 30 years ago when I did it, I'm not trying to say anything negative about other athletes, but the talent pool wasn't that deep. In this day and age, with all the high-tech training, computer-engineered workouts and the proper food and diet, if you try to concentrate on two sports, I guarantee you're going to ride the bench in both because the talent is that deep. Stick to whatever sport you're comfortable with and let everything else go."

The Rangers selected Wilson in the Rule 5 draft in December.

Jackson, the only athlete to be named an All-Star in both football and baseball, doubts he could play both sports at an elite level in today's athletic environment.

"I probably couldn't, no," Jackson said. "Just because the talent pool is that deep now. If my kids want to do both sports -- 'No. No. No.' ... If you try to do both you're going to be riding the bench in both. You'll never get to that level that you want to get to if you split your time between multiple sports."
