Greatest 2-Sport Athletes 21-30

Spend time yesterday making up a list of the greatest all-time multi-sport athletes. Sports Illustrated ran three stories about the topic, including one by a young guy who proposed that Deion Sanders was the greatest two sport athlete in history. I rank him no higher than fifth. For athletes 31-40 click here.
 
30. Lolo Jones competed in the Summer Olympics as a hurdler,
and in the Winter Olympics on the bobsled team.

29. NFL Hall of Fame QB Dan Marino was drafted by the Royals.
28. Hall of Fame QB John Elway played minor league ball
in the Yankees system.
27. Tom Brady has won more Super Bowls than any QB in NFL history.
He was drafted as a catcher by the Expos.
26. Braves hall of fame pitcher Tom Glavine won over 300 games in the majors. Coming out of high school he was drafted by the LA Kings.
25. Tim Tebow was one of the top three football players in SEC history. 
NFL QB. Now he’s playing minor league baseball in the Mets system.
24. Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player in history, a six-time NBA champion (and NCAA champion). After he won his first three championships he took a break from basketball to play minor league baseball (and shoot the movie Space Jam).
23. Before Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn collected more than 3000 hits for the Padres, he played college basketball for San Diego State.
22. All-Pro defensive lineman Julius Peppers was named one of the greatest kick blockers in NFL history...
...perhaps because he played basketball at North Carolina.
21. Hale Irwin: Hall of Fame golfer. He also played quarterback and defensive back at Colorado.
