My choice of Sanders over Jackson is based on watching each play football and baseball, not their personalities. Sanders could play offense and defense, Jackson was a running back. Jackson certainly had more power as a hitter, but had a lower average and was a crummier fielder. I think if Sanders had put more energy into baseball and less into self-promotion (as previous poster noted), he could have been a much better player. But neither of these guys would make my top five "greatest athletes" list.
