Former Auburn great Bo Jackson will be featured along with Charles Barkley and Frank Thomas in the SEC Storied documentary "Bo, Barkley and the Big Hurt" on Aug. 21 on the SEC Network.

AUBURN -- A short clip from the SEC Storied documentary "Bo, Barkley and the Big Hurt" chronicling the short time when Bo Jackson, Charles Barkley and Frank Thomas were all on the Plains was shown to an audience of students on campus riday.

The trio of Auburn greats discusses how Barkley believes he's the greatest Auburn athlete of all-time.

"Everybody knows Barkley is going to be pissed because his name's not first," Jackson said. "Barkley is No. 1 in his eyes, and we allow him to think that. His name for me is No. 1 and he calls me No. 2."

Last year, Jackson was named the greatest athlete of all-time by ESPN.

In the short clip, Barkley and Thomas are shown on the sideline at a football game and Thomas, who will be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame this summer, asks if Barkley is dropping him to No. 4.

"You're not going to go lower than 3," Barkley says. "I got respect for Cam Newton, Cam Newton was only here like 13 games."

"Bo, Barkley and the Big Hurt" will debut on the SEC Network on Aug. 21, after originally being scheduled for Feb. 24.
