Todd Gurley To Wear #21 For Falcons, Against Deion Sanders' Wishes
Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports
New Falcons RB Todd Gurley will wear the number 21 in Atlanta this season, against the wishes of Hall of Famer, and former Falcon, Deion Sanders...
quote:

"Prime was hatin' on me. He told me don't wear it," Gurley said. "If I was Prime, I wouldn't want nobody be wearing my number either."

I'm sure there are a bunch of FAT NONATHLETIC Deion's in this world that were named after him! Man he is gonna have his hands full looking and telling the ones with the last name Sanders, you cant have it!

There have been several notable players to wear 21 at Atlanta. Doesn't make sense Deion would even care.

Sounds like Gurley asked him to wear #21 out of courtesy, even though he didn’t need Deion Sanders’ permission, and Deion decided to be a bitch about it.

The best thing Deion ever did was dump a bucket of water over Tim McCarver’s head.

That was a fricking a-hole thing he did.

He’s in their Ring of Honor, the number isn’t retired. Deion ‘Past his Prime Time’ Sanders should know that.

ok...you said "if I was Prime, I wouldn't want nobody wearing it either" So then why would you wear it then if you wouldn't want someone doing you the same way with your number? Little hypocritically there...

Read it again and think about what he's REALLY saying.

What is Prime’s beef? Did he have beef with Eric Metcalf for wearing it after Prime bolted? Love you Deion but you’re being silly here.

If I was Prime, I wouldn't want nobody be wearing my number either." Sports is a great outlet for people that could be meaningfully employed anywhere else.

Deon’s having a “do you know who I am?” moment. Never a good look
