Skip Bayless has paid tribute to OJ Simpson in the wake of the ex-football star's death, claiming he 'could be the greatest running back ever' and remembering him as the 'most charismatic athlete I ever knew.'
Simpson, who died Wednesday at 76 years old following a short battle with cancer, was an astounding talent in the NFL, earning six All-Pro selections en route to a Hall of Fame induction.
Of course, he was also found civilly liable for the deaths of his ex-wife and her friend, and Bayless cautioned fans 'not to discount anything that happened after [his playing career.]'
'He's the most charismatic athlete I ever knew and that includes Magic Johnson,' Bayless said on FS1's Undisputed. 'You could make the case he was the greatest running back ever, greatest college running back ever.
'His commercials were legendary. What a personality he was born with. Just electrifying. I don't want people to forget that he was something. In his day he was something.
