I still have this Sports Illustrated cover from many years ago.
You will get a few people who don’t think Deion Sanders is the greatest cornerback of all time.
They will say he didn’t tackle, he wasn’t a complete football player and blah blah blah.
The fact of the matter is that Deion Sanders isn’t just one of the greatest cornerbacks of all time he is one of the greatest athletes of all time. There wasn’t anything that Sanders played that he didn’t do well. Cornerback, Wide Receivers, Punt Returner & Baseball Player.
He did it with a flair that well after we are all dead and gone, people will still be talking about Deion Sanders. There are only a few NFL players that become that sort of Legend.
In the end that is what separates Deion Sanders from others like Rod Woodson and Michael Haynes. They might have been as good of players as Deion, but they weren’t PRIMETIME.
