PP even laughs at Dion Sanders. Sanders was a very average cornerbak. The only thing that made people think he was good was his speed. He could close quickly. He also couldn't tackle worth a lick. PP will be much better when its all said and done.

PP is better at run defense than PrimeTime was (see the attempted tackle at the goalline against Bama), but that is it.

Sanders was an elite athlete but according to most pundits so is Peterson. Peterson is much bigger than Sanders and has more upside as a safety at the next level IMO. That's not to say he can't play corner because he is a great college corner. I just think an Ed Reed type safety is more valuable in today's NFL than an elite corner. Deion was fluid beyond compare IMO. Peterson exudes power and confidence. Two different types of athletes but both fun to watch. Only time will tell how great PP can be. In college he was every bit as good as Sanders in his on way.

Trent Richardson is a BEAST and hasn't been the same since PP7 shut him down on that play. Richardson won the battle (scored), but PP7 won the war. Dion would have watched the guy skip across the goal line.
