people are either too young to appreciate deion, or very quick to forget him.
deion and bo jackson were the best two athletes ever! Both played at the highest level in two different sports. Deion is the only player ever to play in a super bowl, and a world series. That in its self is hard to grasp. People also forgot how good of a corner he really was, no he didnt like contact, yes he was a pretty boy, yes he liked to show boat.. but dammit you couldnt take your eyes off him. NO one threw deions way, qbs were terrified of him! And when deion got his hands on a ball, go ahead and put 6 on the board because he was housing it! He also returned punts and kickoffss with the best of them. People are also soon to forget when michael irvin went down with injury early in the season deion played wide receiver AND his normal db position the rest of the year.. pp21 is good, but lets not start those comparisons

I do seem to recall Jerry Rice, the true GOAT, eating Atlanta's secondary, with Deion on the field, for 5 TDs in a single game in 1990.
Of course, Deion was starting to come into his prime. By the time he was there, they had some nice battles. I remember a couple INTs, but I also remember a couple 100 yd games and several TDs by Rice.
I always liked Rod Woodson better, because he would actually try to tackle people, but the way Deion could completely blanket a receiver not named Jerry Rice was pretty amazing.

Oh I agree Deion was possibly the greatest CB to play the game. I wasn't talking about PP now I meant down the line. A. Williams was a great CB also but not better than Neon. I compared Neon because I think he was the greatest cover guy to play and PP because he's young and pretty damn good and wanted peoples opinions.
