I have him between 20-25.

He's perhaps the best athlete to play in the league.

Couldn't tackle
Didn't want to take a hit

Best girl to ever play

You must be a snowflake. You can't put a guy that is scared of contact and plays a defensive position in the top 20 of alltime. He's a one trick pony. Make this about Rod Woodson and it's legit.

Probably the best pure cover corner I've ever seen but his aversion to tackling made him a liability in the run game and hurts his overall ranking, therefore I think your 20-25 is probably in the right area.

Overall NFL best player lists are stupid. If you break it down and say best CBs of all time, Deion is top 3 imo which would put him in the top 50 or so.

As far as an athlete, he was extremely skilled, but I don't see how you judge him against a Reggie White or either of the LT's.

Deion's an 8x first team all-pro, a NFL Defensive Player of the Year, 2x Super Bowl champ and even achieved 53 ints with 22 total TDs particularly since teams purposefully avoided throwing the ball to his island. He was a first-ballot HOFer, top 20-25's probably pretty accurate to reflect his career.

I'd have him there. People forget how damn good he was as a cover corner. He was basically Revis with amazing athleticism.

I'd rank him in the Top 5 for most Over-Rated players in NFL history.

He's the best cornerback of all-time and I really don't understand how there can be any debate about that.

Not sure where he ranks, but he was the most exciting player with the ball in his hands. Everytime Deion touched the ball, it was a sportscenter highlight.

The term "shutdown corner" was coined because of Primetime.

Best coverage CB ever and one of, if not the best kick returners in the NFL during his prime. As much criticism as he gets for not coming up to make hits in the run game, if I'm putting together an NFL all-time team...Deion is definitely going to be one of my CB's. So I guess that would justify him being in my top 25.
