Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and Titans safety Kevin Byard exchanged words on Twitter after Sanders named another safety the best in the game. Sanders praised Tyrann Mathieu on an NFL Network segment and All-Pro safety Byard wasn’t too pleased.
After Byard confronted Sanders via Twitter, Sanders replied by calling him a fan.
All love to the defensive legend Sanders, but Byard has a reason to be mad. Byard closed out last season with eight interceptions, and Mathieu had two. Mathieu has struggled since his shoulder injury from 2016. He was cut from the Cardinals and signed a one year deal with the Houston Texans.
No one argues that Sanders is one of the GOAT DBs of All-Time, but he isn’t a GOAT analyst and sometimes speaks down to people on and offline. The fact he didn’t even know he was talking to an All-Pro safety says a lot about Sanders and not in a positive way.
