What made Deion Sanders so great was, outside of his natural athleticism, Olympic track speed and swagger, his natural instinct, ive yet to see another CB with his instinct. The man was a ball hawk, he was always afound the ball even if the QB went to the opposite side, Deion was already breaking to that side, by the time that QB chose his receiver. So glad i grew up in this era of NFL/ NCAA Football. Deion, Bo, Barry, Emmett, Troy, Jerry, Elway, Marino, Lott, Cunningham, Favre, Montana, Young, Tim Brown, The Sharpes, Thurman, Kelly etc.....i mean damn what an era.
Both could have played in the nba for sure. In high school they reminded us of Jordan. Mike was a killer basketball player at st Thomas High school. One time I was with him at st Thomas. And he was 16 years old and I was 14. He jumped straight off of the vertical and dunked three times in a row. Without putting the ball down. He had some serious vertical jump.
I went to my first FSU football game in 1988 in Deion's senior year, and was hooked. I love 80s and 90s FSU football. Those were some exciting teams to watch.
It was an honor. What people did not know is he was the first player in to practice and the last one to leave practice. Mickey always said he was the hardest worker. He was Prime, but he backed it up.
Man this dude is one of my all time players besides Eric Dickerson I got an A on a school report about him there will never be another Prime Time in my book!!!!
Man I'm a Miami fan I remember watching these 86 matchup at the Orange Bowl. Shoutout to Florida State and Bobby Bowden like Miami they were an Independent they were playing against Nebraska and Michigan on the road. Much Respect. See how nimble Jim Harbaugh was at QB. Also these 86 and 87 Miami/ FSU matchups had like 40 guys go pro. Incredible talent!!!
By far one of the greatest athletes to ever play professional sports. Period. He was a serious threat on both the football field and baseball field, and was the flash in track. "Neon Deion" aka "Prime Time" was a rare talent, if you got to watch him you you were a fan unless your team was playing against. 🤣
Um...no. Deion Sanders [512 tackles (254 solo tackles), 20 tackles for loss, 53 interceptions, 1331 interception return yards, 9 interception return TDs], Rod Woodson [1158 tackles (530 solo tackles), 10 tackles for loss, 71 interceptions, 1483 interception return yards, 12 interception return TDS], Dick Lane [ 68 interceptions, 1207 interception return yards, 5 interception return TDs], Ronde Barber [1251 tackles (1044 solo tackles), 88 tackles for loss ***only player in NFL history with 30 interceptions and 30 sacks***, 47 interceptions, 923 interception return yards, 8 interception return touchdowns]. These are just a few players that can make a claim to being greater than Deion Sanders at the cornerback position. Charles Woodson, Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott, Mel Blount, Everson Walls, Lem Barney, Paul Krause, Aeneas Williams, Champ Bailey, and Mel Renfro all have legitimate claims to being better than Deion Sanders too. Flash and substance are two different things and making interceptions is only half the job of a corner back. Sanders was a lousy run defender and every single one of the players that I listed is a better tackler and better against the run that Deion Sanders and many of them are superior pass defenders too. Quit believing that ESPN tells you to believe and learn to make an objective independent decision on your own.
Best shutdown corner in NFL history! Sure he might have less stats then some, but thats because nobody would even throw to his side of the field for years!
I think all the super greats have three things in common it starts with insane fast twitch reflexes combined with an extreme competitive nature and finally that bizarre work ethic. great video thank you. I now have a JSU hat and flag. FSU grad here
Neon Deon that's what we called him at FSU. He helped make the program, stadium, fans, what it is today. Class of 77, ticket holder for many years. Saw it all and screamed my lungs out. Proud member of Lady Seminoles. Go Noles! So proud of you Deon😊
1:18 I cannot believe Deion had that face mask before. First time I’ve ever seen that lol. Back in peewee football we used to call his signature face mask “The Deion”.
YO PRIME!!! Thank you for being such and inspiration and motivation to me if it wasn’t for MY high school coaches..I would not have learned about your college career... MUCH LOVE
You know what makes elite freak athletes... their body mechanics. Deion, MJ, Lebron all have this natural ability to adjust their speeds and use their turbo boost. They also all land super soft when exploding. Watching Deion get tackled or run is beautiful mechanics wise.
@@CleanMusicLover229 aw hush and let the guy have his comment/opinion. You dont believe in GOD giving ability ! Some folks are just different you know...in a naturally way genius!!!!
@@CleanMusicLover229 LeBron was a high school phenom and could jump out of the gym and move like a guard at 230 he didn’t work for that. Has he worked hard yes but he didn’t gain those qualities from hard work.
Deion Sanders singlehandedly made cornerback a glamor position. Before Deion, most of the slim-built boys in the hood wanted to play running back, quarterback or receiver because those were the positions that received the most attention. Then Deion came along, and black boys wanted to play corner and wanted to have the impact of a Deion, including my son. He was truly electrifying on the field and shifted into a gear other players simply did not have. As for Deion not wanting to tackle, my question is ... tell me the last time he missed a tackle that resulted in the other team winning? Yeah, that's what I thought.
@@Maker004 lol, that I've seen in person and on film. Dick"night train Layne, Mike Haynes, Mel Blount, my second favorite corner Lester Hayes, Darrel Green just to name a few, we're great corners. But none of them impacted the game at his position like Deion did. In addition, because of him, the the financial landscape for how much DB's got paid changed dramatically. And the guy was a student of the game as well.
Love PrimeTime. I was a Strong Safety at the same time. Would loved to have teamed with him at some point. A knee injury took my game, so I lived thru PT.
God made Deion Sanders different. Not just physically gifted, but mentally also. The G.O.A.T label gets tossed around very liberally nowadays. Deion,Walter,Reggie,LT,DT and both Woodsons. Now that's 🐐 status.
So many legends and pro football hall of famers in this video. Brett Favre, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, Bo Jackson, Martin Mayhew, Leroy Butler, Vinny Testaverde, etc., and not to mention Deion Sanders.
I see in College he would do a big hit if required. He wasn't really doing that in the pros, but i did observe that he usually made his tackles without putting himself in excessive harms way.
PrimeTime another Superhero! I did't know you played QB, Just imagine the original Michael Vick/Lamar Jackson!!! We's a whatin allowed to play QB in those days. Still balled out PrimeTime! Thanks for being Great and You!
He turned out to be such a great guy too. They say there isn't one former or current player who talks to more young people than "Prime." Pretty sure he might even fund a private school, where he is a volunteer football coach IN TEXAS (~70 hrs work per week) but check me on the details. Regardless, the guy does great work in the community, and he is a real influence in so many young lives. And I like him because he advocates for white players lol Julian Edelman, Troy Apke, etc.

The planet with that swag and could back it up with a
World class performance
The best high school, college and pro football player of all time.
Whoever made this, is the GOAT!

He was P Diddy before P Diddy
Right💯👍🏿
4SURE
Deion and Michael Irvin had some terrific battles. Both Hall of famers now. Great stuff.
Both could have played in the nba for sure. In high school they reminded us of Jordan. Mike was a killer basketball player at st Thomas High school. One time I was with him at st Thomas. And he was 16 years old and I was 14. He jumped straight off of the vertical and dunked three times in a row. Without putting the ball down. He had some serious vertical jump.
It's crazy to see Emmitt Smith and Deion battle each too and then help each other up 😄
Irvin won every time
I went to my first FSU football game in 1988 in Deion's senior year, and was hooked. I love 80s and 90s FSU football. Those were some exciting teams to watch.
I agree great football era
I remember when they had Charlie Ward Warrick Dunn and William Floyd
Word.. Charlie Ward is my fav player
It sure was fun wasn't it. Thank you Deion. Thank you Bobby.
As a child being a Florida fan.........MAAANNNNNNNN 😂😂😂😂😂 them rivalries was the reason why florida had dropped out of the top 5 in the 90s
I'm from his hometown. Always love for HIM
Damn .. he was the man even way back in the day . What an honor to be able to see him play in college
It was an honor. What people did not know is he was the first player in to practice and the last one to leave practice. Mickey always said he was the hardest worker. He was Prime, but he backed it up.
Not against Miami
Watching him play football was like watching a man play with children... he stood out so much.
Who said Deon don't hit. His little skinny but was agressive 💪🏿💪🏿
Ahhh the good ole days...... Neon Deion
Prime time was crackin some heads back in his college days!! I didn't expect him to be a physical tackler....
He made a business decision in the pros so he could last longer Playing TWO professional sports at the same time
@@taj2supa277 yeah a vet told him he wouldn't last long hitting like that. Watch his 1st and 2st yr falcons highlights . He would hit
@@taj2supa277 plus he focused on the ball interception/ strip
Had that hungre. Plus that speed bright him into tackles with berserk head of steam. Grace on his feet and fire in his heart.
Headache gang!
Coached here in Texas against Prime with Desoto Youth Football! Enjoyed the competition! Good dude and good staff!
Deion Sanders and Lawrence Taylor are arguably the two best defensive players of all. #FACTS
Both changed the game ...forever impacted how offense and defense we're played I'd say that's one box that needs to be checked for GOAT status.
LT first though.
Ray Lewis
Aaron Donald
@@TheSTEVEN3000 no
Man this dude is one of my all time players besides Eric Dickerson I got an A on a school report about him there will never be another Prime Time in my book!!!!
It’s amazing how players set records back then with those huge shoulder pads.
Lol no kidding.
That's all we knew!
This man was amazing.

Deion Sanders he was a bad man best corner back hands down
One thing I learned from this video that I wasn't aware of - Deion was a beast against the run in his early years.
Got to the NFL and stopped being a big hitter more of a cover guy and a return guy
@@deejones8858 Possibly to preserve his BODY & CAREER concerning his LONGEVITY...🤔
I think it was because there's way more RPO in college especially back then
It’s easy to see from these highlights where Shiloh gets that natural big tackling ability from.
I noticed that too on this vid, a good hitter, very sure tackler.
His change of direction was unbelievable he play off a receiver to bait the quarterback to throw that way and then close in a hurry to break up play.
Exactly!!😳🤔
My last year at NFM highschool was Deions first year. What a player!
Look at those names he played with and against, Irvin, Emmitt, Kosar, Harbaugh, Tillman, etc. He went thru some great. 🙏🏾God bless you coach
Man that was a great era in college football. Miami fan here I loved this era. Also Bo Jackson!!!
what a difference between freshman Deion and Senior Prime Time. He was amazing.
Best Corner in the history of the sport bar none.
David Mazzini-Arguably, he’s the best punt returner of all time. I’m a Miami fan and it’s not easy for me to compliment a Nole.
Saint Michael unparalleled smoothness on those returns .
YEP! He won his first Superbowl with the 49ers on my BIRTHDAY Jan 29,1995 One of the happiest bdays Ive ever had!!! #PRIMETIME!!!!!
Saint Michael devin Hester exists.

Greatest football player ever.
The speed he showed in the nfl combine.unbelievable.july2020.
This was a great watch 🔥🔥🔥
Deion is Gifted, God blessed him
We finally get to see his college highlights.
He knew he was the best player on the field every play.
Loved the Emmitt Sanders tackle. Hall of Famers recognize one another.
Every year at FSU he got better and elevated his game!
My HS coach went to FSU with Prime. Said dude is the best athlete he ever seen in person but Prime was never in class. You know he ain't lying!
He was a great athlete period
Best all around athlete ever him and Bo Jackson
Amazing how he kept his jersey so clean playing football.
Best defensive player ever! PRIME TIME
Nahh Ed Reed #LetsGoCanes
Naww, I'd take LT.
I was lucky enough to watch prime in his prime every saturday.
Best shutdown corner in NFL history! Sure he might have less stats then some, but thats because nobody would even throw to his side of the field for years!
That was a smart move to still go to school and was able to make the 75grand while in College. He was destined to be great..
Nice video. ..So Sanders used to hit & tackle when he was in college
Awesome and hella dope vintage footage!!! #Prime #NeonDeion #Goat GoNoles‼️🔥🔥🔥
You should've saw him play basketball in high school. He had crazy speed & hops! One of the best athletes ever born! #PRIMETIME
Natural God given talent end of story go noles
The one and only the goat prime time!🤗
And now he's the Head Coach at Jackson State...The man's got a lot of mouth, and can back up every word...God Bless him...
*COLORADO
They wondered if Deion Sanders would be as good as Bobby Butler.
Atlanta Falcons fans find this even more hilarious than others do.
Lmao
Everyone talks about "Revis Island". This dude is the GOAT.
Who is Revis Island ?

PaYBACKS BEEN HELL in Tallahassee tho
It's about got damn time!!!!!!!!!

It felt like he did all that in one game 😁😁

The term..."Shutdown Corner" was coined for NEON DEION put some spekt on that man's name
Deion was laying the wood.
But Deion didn’t tackle though...
Myth-Busted!!
Not in the league only to save his body tho
