Fact, but....





Best Cornerback in history??




Deion Sanders: 53 INT 493 tackles

Champ Bailey: 52 INT 812 tackles

More pro bowls by a CB in NFL history.

Teams would GAMEPLAN to NOT throw to Deions side of the field... Thats game changing...... Plus you are barely old enough to remember him playing AS IT HAPPENED............

Don’t think Deion’s the greatest corner of all-time


He is and it's not even close.

Deion was great in coverage, but he refused to tackle. Revis and Champ Bailey were just as dominant in coverage and had full, well-rounded games.

I wouldn't use Deion's return skills as evidence that he was a better CB.

TBH Peej, I think Willie "OLD MAN WILLAYYYYY" Brown changed the game more than Prime, he literally invented a coverage with the Bump and Run that corners still use today thats transformative

Deion was a great kick returner and a great CB. But he wasn’t the greatest CB ever. He was a showboat in an era when showboating got you big time recognition. Again, one of the better cover corners in the NFL, but not the the best CB.

Growing up, Deion was the most exciting player in the league with ball in his hands. Either an int or punt, it was must see TV...and he played defense. Amazing

Deion is a punk and the biggest self-promoter of
all-time. Very talented, but I still cant stand the guy. Hopefully, they will discuss his bullshite suicide attempt.

Deion was a terrible hitter




not factual

5 year stretch between 92-97 he hit a respectable .280/.333/.411


Billy Hamilton for comparison: .245/.298/.333


in 1992, Deion led the league in triples....only playing 97 games

One of best friends was a major Deion guy and that poster was on his wall. Genius marketing

I was really looking forward to this one but it sucks so far. Just the way it's put together.
