Tonight on ESPN.

I wasn't that old enough to remember Deion in his true prime.

I remember his later years with Dallas and Washington, and then again with Baltimore.

But very intrigued by this one.

Should be a good one.

These always are.

Don’t think Deion’s the greatest corner of all-time but God was he fast and talented and added entertainment value to the game and people loved it

Really hated him back then when he made New Orleans think we had a shot in hell of signing him.

He and Bo Jackson are the two greatest athletes ever. I give Deion the slight nudge bc he played basketball very well. He could have played OB or Corner in college. He played football at the highest level. He ran college track at a high level and played baseball at the highest level. He is the best cover corner ever and probably top three return guys ever. He dabbled at WR. He had issues hitting a curve, but was still good enough to play everyday in MLB. Bo’s injury makes it difficult to compare the two bc Bo didn’t have full careers in the NFL or MBL.

I'm excited to see more in depth of him before the NFL and his baseball career.

Deion said on his Instagram a while back promoting the thing: “I finally did a 30 for 30 but it should've been a 90 for 90.”

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.

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

I saw Deion hit a triple to RF in Houston against the Astros. It was absolutely the fastest I have ever seen a human run.

Was truly amazing.
