Just how much of an athlete is Stingley?

Compared to the likes of Deion Sanders or someone of that magnitude, how does Sting match up? Is he a possible 4.2 guy? Could he become one of the all time DBs in CFB history?

don't think he's good enough to equal or surpass Deion though.

Why?
He just walked on to the highest stage, literally, in college football and dominated as a true freshman. Both physically and technically.
He’s got legitimate “GOAT” written all over him.

Thursday night December 3, 1992. NO Saints vs Dirty Birds in Superdome. Deion Sanders intercepts Bobby Hebert's Hail Mary on last play of 1 st half at around Atlanta 10-yard line. Deion gets past every Saint and has ONE man to beat around the NO 40-yard line. He is brought down in the open field by Bobby Hebert. Derek Stingley, Jr would have would never been tackled in that situation. I was there. I seent it. Bobby Hebert is a better athlete than Prime.

I think he’s a very good athlete with top level measurables who has great technique, ball
Skills and is mentally a high level competitor.
He is not an elite player with the ball in his hands though. Good. Not great.
Elite ability as a cover man. Average sec
Player on offense or return teams imo.

He’s alright

He doesn’t need to be a 4.2 he’s actually got the skill set package better overall than Neon Deion

Deion Sanders didn’t have an INT that game
Bruce Pickens did tho

Doesn't Stingley have some sub 4.4 times on the book?

He matches up with Deion Sanders and Charles Woodson!!
I mean, look at his body of work as a Freshman CB in the SEC West and how he and LSU took care of 7 top 10 teams' best WR as he basically shut them down. Led in Int and pass breakups and that play against that tall WR from Texas, heck they did not even dare throw to that side of the field after that spectacular attempt of the interception.
His speed is elite, his technique is off the charts, and he proved that as a freshman in the toughest Conf, League, and one of the hardest schedules ever- he basically dominated! So, if you compare Sanders and Woodson and the other best ever CB's against Stingley as Freshen, then Stingley had the better season.

Lmfao!!! Stingley is outstanding and already an LSU favorite but to say he’s got a better skill set than one of the top 3-5 athletes to ever play football is down right insane.

Yes. As a true freshman was Sanders better? I don’t think so. Remember, Stingley was a TRUE FRESHMAN ALL AMERICAN. All he’s going to do is get better

4.2? Man, some of y'all have no idea how stupid you sound with some of the shite you say. That's ridiculous. Lol.
There's only been like 9 players to run the 40 at 4.29 or better. Nobody needs to be that fast in order to be a great nfl player. Matter of fact, none of the guys beside champ Bailey turned out to be worth shite and you've never heard of them. Henry ruggs ran a 4.27 and he will prob be pretty good, but it's nuts how people think you have to run a 4.2 crazy 40 time when in reality, the best players don't run that or anywhere near that. People get caught up on players times and shite too much. Stingley is a hell of a ballplayer and has a chance to be one of the best of all time. Just watch his tape and you can see that, you don't need to see him run a 4.2 for that.

First off college freshman production is never the deciding factor on someone’s alltime career and has nothing to do with skill set which is what I replied to. Is Leonard Fournette better than Barry Sanders because his stats were better in one category as a freshman in college? The premise is absurd. And FYI Sanders was a great freshman player who scored multiple TDs that season. You’re comparing a freshman college player to the best corner who ever lived lol and what’s funny is there’s not a single hesitation in your analysis. Stingley is a great college player Deion is an alltime NFL great stop the foolishness it isn’t fair to our guy. Deion was a 2x All-American and Thorpe winner, Stingley isn’t even at that point yet.

I'm not sure he is the purely physical specimen even some of our folks (e.g. PP7) are as far as sprinting and jumping.
What he has is body control (and certainly enough speed, acceleration and strength to play the ball), football knowledge/instincts and ball skills that you just don't see in a kid fresh out of high school (or, now with 1 hell of a year).

Being a corner is about covering a receiver, breaking up passes and interceptions. Stingley will be probably be regarded as the best corner in CFB for 2020. As far as history? I guess we'll just have to see.

Just looking at Freshman stats, it is hard to make a determination. Sanders is a legendary figure so that is a tall task but I do believe he is close to that.
Lets look at stats, though comparing any one year, freshman in particular, is dicey at best.
Sanders
30 PR 255 Yds 8.5 YPA 1 TD
1 INT 100yds 1 TD
Stingley
17 PR 163 Yds 9.6 YPA 0 TDs
6 INT 17 Yds 2.8 YPI 0 TD
1 FR
Sanders had 14 INTs his 4 years at FSU. Sanders also scored 6 TD, 3 on Picks, 3 on punt returns. He had an astounding 126 punt returns for 1,429 yards in his time at FSU. I think the big thing about Sanders initially was that he was a multi sport athlete who also played baseball and ran track at FSU at a very high level.
Being a top level multi sport athlete who legitimately competed at every level will always place guys like Deion and Bo, rightly or wrongly, on a different level with single sport athletes when comparing who is "the best athlete"

Sting is more athletic. Sanders had great stats & hype, but his speed covered his lack of technique.
