Can we just stop arguing and appreciate 2 of the greatest NFL players of all time🙌
Niner Empire As a huge primetime fan I concur JR was one of the greatest receivers ever. and Deion was the greatest cover men
Niner Empire I agree
Agreed. Man growing up in the 90’s watching some of the greatest players of all time is a great feeling.
Hall of Famer's.
@Notorious MCV OK, skipper.
The best cornerback ever vs the best wide receiver in NFL history.They’ll never be another rivalry like this.
Ramsey and adams?
And this was when you could jam at the line. Those were the days. The football we fell in love with
Best cornerback my ass.
Ever hear of Lem Barney, Kenny Houston, Dave Brown, Darrell Green or Mel Blount?
All of those guys could tackle, something Deion was weak at
Barney was a great return man too.
I saw them all play and Deion couldn't tackle a high school girls volleyball player.
@@commander0343 lol, what an absolute joke 😄😄
@@123slasher.16 yawn 💤
Back when cornerbacks could actually be physical with wide receivers. Those were the days.
Jerry Rodriguez Which it was like back in the day, I play corner back and I'm now a freshman. Wide receivers always getting opportunities nowadays.
Which goes to show why jerry rice is the goat. Imagine jerry today.
Jack12today you must don't know too much about football 🏈
@Jack12today you think all you need is luck to have the longevity that jerry rice has? You need to take care of your body well to keep having that high level of performance. That's why he's one of the best. No one can out work or out prepare him. His record is going to stand for a long time.
They still can. Just not past 5 yards.
This is why players should have rivalries now a days. Out of respect. Not out of disrespect.
Exactly!
Not the buddy-buddy, let's go hang out after the game players you have today
Hopkins and Jalen Ramsey
J'aire Alexander and Justin Jefferson got one, although J'aire ain't prime time, Jj is the best WR in the game rn.
@@scottharm3932?
This shows just how fast Deion was, his able to recover sometimes after being beat and make the play. Jerry’s route running is simply beautiful. Legends both of them.
Jerry rice was a lot slower than Deion too back then. It’s just that Jerry was ahead of his time when it came to running routes to where he could stop at a dime and cause Deion to over correct himself which creates a huge gap leaving rice open
I saw quite a few throws that were either late or off target. Deion is the greatest cover corner but Jerry could be covered by no one.
Literally the greatest wide receiver and greatest DB of all time going at it
Prime was fast man. On some of these plays he's beat and he recovers against the greatest route runner ever. 🏈 #legends
But u still gotta give the goat credit because as u said, he got beat
Jerry’s route running was sloppy
@@Ainsi110 Marvin Harrison was a better route runner with track speed
@@veniljackson47 yes ik Ochocinco best route runner of all time
@@Ainsi110 LOL Jerry is the sole evolution of the concept of route-running, just get out of here. The guy basically invented the whole thing. And he played in a pretty modern offense in the early 2000s and put up 1200 yards receiving at 40 years old.
If Rice played now, the numbers would be mind-boggling. You people out here disrespecting the GOAT when he put up insane numbers in the 80s and 90s when a good season for a QB was throwing for 3000 yards.
Just realized how much I miss Pat Summerall and John Madden.
Bruh!! It took me back.
They were great.
Took me back to childhood for a min.
I was JUST about to type this! LMAO
I miss the good ol' days.
Craig Farnam, Summerall had this urgency in his voice, made every play seem like the most important of the game.
Two GOATs battling it out, and respecting each other. Great stuff.
2:54 Proof that a perfect throw beats perfect coverage
Rice gets it or nobody gets it
That wasn’t perfect coverage that time.
@@williamcarothers4976 What are you talking about? Tell me how that wasn't perfect coverage. If he would have draped him any more it woulda been DPI!
Jeffrow Ryan Deion got a little too underneath Rice, he had a misstep at towards the end while timing his attempt on the ball, and he got greedy going for the catch instead of the deflection. 🤷🏿♂️
William Carothers you’re tripping trynna talk smart but making yourself look stupid. That was perfect coverage but the pass was also perfect if it would’ve been thrown just a little more behind that’s a pick or incomplete
Steve young was late on some of those throws.
Yea. The only plays deion didn't get burned were bad throws.
Yea, he was too concerned about Deion closing speed
A lot of throws😂🤦🏾♂️
Yep I was just saying that and commented before seeing this comment. Steve was late on a lot of those throws. It made me realize how much better Drew Bree’s is in comparison. Montana also had better timing with Jerry Rice. Drew Bree’s and Jerry Rice would have been a nightmare. I think Joe Montana then Bree’s for best QBs.
@Real Truth exactly in era that was way tougher for QBs and this is why I hold Joe Montana as the best Qb goat over Tom Brady.
Deion was a phenomenal CB and an absolute shutdown corner. People who weren’t old enough to see it will struggle to comprehend. As a CB, 9 pick 6. Punt Return TD, Kick Return TD, Receiving TD and Rushing TD. That’s insane
My biggest take away: Steve Young is NOT Joe Montana
EXACTLY!!!
@Man E Mr. J Young was still a pro bowl quarterback
You're right, Joe Montana never thew 6 Tds in a Superbowl.
Brandon Smoot Montana never played the Chargers in a super bowl either.
How many Super Bowls did Montana win in the 90s when Defenses caught up to the west coast offense?
Those were the days! Having CZcams to re-live these great games and match-ups pumps my adrenaline as if I'm watching it LIVE all over again.
Deion was the best at everything... Except tackling
Didn't need to tackle when you move like lightning,and he did tackle when needed!
Ain't gone be no tacklin, nothing but picks all day for the bills and meals y'all feel me. Lol He'd say that too.
The skill he needed the least, was tackling, he had a kind of game plenty of other skills
2:52 he loses a foot race to Rice.
ohio stin you can kinda see that deion made up the separation and was actually there for the pick but he didn’t get it
Amazing to watch these two battle. Hats off to both. These guys were remarkable. True competitors.
This the probably the greatest on-field matchup ever. 2 of the greatest at what they do, going at each other. And the concept is so poetic too. On the offensive side, you a have Jerry who is the hardest worker ever that is very humble and on the defensive side you have Prime Time who is the most relaxed man ever that is the definition of showboating. And they ate each other alive. It is amazing to see 2 all-time greats that are the clear cut greatest players of their positions matchup in their primes.
I love how you can tell these guys have great respect for each other after playing against each other.
Madden's voice takes me back to my youth...
Fr
Its beautiful to see this type of play..wish they played like this now
Two great players facing each other! Wild rivalry!
3:07, Jerry forces a Deion fumble after the INT, goes out of bounds. What a great rivalry.
Yo that last clip was insane catch up speed 😮
I mean I love Steve Young but all the passes that were intercepted by Sanders was very late ass passes. If Steve release early Rice would have had an explosive record game. Period!
You mean like Montana
Yelp, like Joe Montana!!!! A lot of left hand QB’s have a delay in their passing mechanics. That’s why Steve only won 1 Super Bowl. He had plenty of chances to get two more before or after if he didn’t run so much. It led to concussions that he had no choice to retire before Rice... Hell, we won two on the bench with Montana.
@@chocolatethunder9040 Steve also had happy feet
It's because Young had a weak arm and if a guy with a weak arm doesn't anticipate the throw quicker, he's going to be picked. But still, Young is one of the best Qbs ever and made the most of his physical ability.
@@chocolatethunder9040 No Jerry Rice would have been caught by prime
PLOT TWIST: Deion had more receptions and yards than Rice in this clip
Deion PrimeTime Sanders is the greatest CB of all time ! #FACTZ
Tony Romo #9hunnit #ScrambleGod He looked best in a cowboy jersey.
Sanders>Barber
Sanders>Woodson
Deion is not better than rod woodson sorry
Best cover corner of all time.
Vontray Lockett you need a drug test 🤦🏼♂️
Jerry Rice is one person i get extreme nostalgia about because i idolized him so much as a little kid
Watching head to head battles like these two, is what made you love football.
What a Life Treat
What you see is Rice had Prime beat several times but Young and Grbac misfired several times
Facts
That happens every game to EVERY CB. There's not a CB that's ever played that had his man entirely covered the entire game. What you also weren't seeing was the coverage in front of them to make them hold on to the ball or the throw to be off.
Well I think that’s how Deion played he would let the WR go free cuz of his speed he would out run the ball. The first play of the video Rice is open in the end zone it’s just that Deion out ran the ball and before the ball could get to rice Deion was there. Deion was the ultimate ball hawk now for best one on one coverage guy I think revis was the best at that.
I was thinking the same thing. Rice could get open and give the Qb a target against anybody but they didn't execute a few times there on some key plays.
Steve Young was so behind on some of those throws when Jerry would have a step it seemed to give Deion an eternity to close the gap. If he had a QB with a cannon arm like Bret Farve he would've had 4 TD in that game.
I think in the modern NFL that's one advantage that would benefit Jerry is the fact that now they throw to an area that they expect the receiver to be as opposed to how they did it in the 90s.
Dude you haven't seen The K-Gun by Jim Kelly and the Bills in the 90s.
It's funny because all these young guys argue that the main reason Rice had all these stats is because he had Montana and Young. Watch the tapes and Rice would always be open but the passes would be behind him.
@@Armis71I saw how many times they lost the Super Bowl
@bruceleeroy8302 Rice had more TDs in the '86 season with Jeff Kemp #9 when Montana was hurt I believe. I'm not sure of course but it would be something to point out if Montana played more games that season than Kemp and the latter had more TDs to Rice.
Deon have interceptions on Brett Farve, and Dan Marino!
This is some great stuff!! I've never seen any of this footage before..
RICE IS GOAT!
Didn't the acronym "GOAT" start with jerry rice?
Blessed CrayoTheWarrior Yes. That was something the Raiders came up with when he was playing for them. Rice is also the reason Yards After the Catch is a statistic. #GOAT
LL Cool J
Jake G 2187
He also was the first WR to use that nose thing
Breathe Right nasal strips
Ali
Loved that outcome! Hit the spot
Deion is a hell of an athletic.
Two legends going head up now. That's real football. I don't know what they playing today.
Honestly Rice caught every good throw in this video. Sanders was great but most of the incompletions and interceptions in this video weren't very good throws.
Jerry was running cross slants and comebacks. He was a good route runner. And the one deep ball he caught in this video Deion had to slow down
I could watch this fire all day. Two of the GOATs in their respective positions.
As a young, but lifetime niner fan, I'm so mad I didnt get to grow up watching these two play. Jerry rice is my all time favorite player, deion is literally second. I grew up listening to stories and reading about them, but I could never watch them. Two of the greatest in the game. I very much doubt they will ever be surpasses as the GOATs in their respective postions. No one even comes close to either.
Well being a niner fan you still must be hungover from that SB loss to make a bs statement like that neither are even top 3-5 at this point anymore
These two guys had me sweating watching them back then. Very entertaining
after watching this, y'all be like, "Who's Patrick Peterson?"
*W's*
Greatnest!!!! The top of the top... real players real game absolutly talent and pasion for this game!!! An honor to saw them play ok their Time.....
The best corner I have ever seen play
2 of the very BEST at their respective jobs
My homie from Starkville, MS Mr "How You So Humble"Jerry#80Rice & Neon Deione#21"Prime-time" Sanders
Two Classic👌GOATS
I wish my homie played for my beloved Cowboys like Neon
But I STILL love em😉
Thx for the rivalry, comradreie, highlights and fun fellas
And y'all STILL #1 & going strong 💪
Peace ☮️ out
jeremy x is he from Crawford, Ms? I know he went to Mo-High which is outside of Starkville ,Ms. However it’s still part of oktibbeha county.
@@seanscott4880
He was born in Starkville aka Starkvegas, Ms
He went to Moor High pronounced "Mo" High
LOL 😆
I've met him on several occasions, work and play
Been his parent's home he built them etc
Yes he grew up in Crawford, Ms where I also have relatives etc
jeremy x so are you from Starkville, Ms? I’m just curious because I’m from Mississippi. I was actually born in Starkville as well. You said he went to Moor High but grew up in Crawford. Why not attend West Lowndes?
@@seanscott4880
That about why not West Lowndes Co High, idk
I can't answer that
Yes I'm a native Starkvillian....
I also worked MSU Scott Field be stadium growing up selling Cokes, popcorn, paenuts, etc
And you?
Which school system and year of graduation?
jeremy x from Macon, MS. Graduated from Noxubee County High class of 2011. That’s wassup.
Man, what a great match-up that was.
So this is actually the greatest cover corner and the greatest WR ever going against each other in their primes. It’s so rare I’m glad I’m old enough to remember and appreciate it
Great Sportsmanship at its finest ‼️
To be honest it is usually the cornerback vs the receiver and quarterback. A perfectly thrown ball can't be defended and a poorly thrown ball is begging to be intercepted.
It’s a shame we never could see a prime Sanders vs Moss in his prime....
They faces each other though
All Deion had to do was guard 3 routes??? Deion wins that battle
Randy not taking the top off on Prime. Deion is one of cery few who have played that can actually run one on one with Moss on a deep route.
CM Perkins you sleep. Randy could run any route there was
Much as I love Prime, he wanted no parts of young Randy Moss.
Man, I miss that NFL so much!
So much better than the pitch and catch, no defense game of today
I had forgotten about this rivalry. It was a good one. 😀👍
half of the football was throw behind rice
RG3 #smokinthat3 #10hunnit #H3!5M4N #dawgpound That's wen Steve young had a off season
Cezarrio McQueen he led in passer rating
All of the passes the Rice missed were bad passes by Young. Rice is the GOAT.
@Man E Mr. J Steve could run but Montana ain't throwing any picks in the bowls. Joe more on point passer.
Well Deion, you been chasing me forever. Lol.
Something I noticed in these highlights was that Prime Time never showboated against Jerry GOAT.
That's respect.
He couldn’t because rice skills were to exceptional he needed to concentrate intensely on rice. Rice pushed Deion unparalleled athleticism to the limit. Top rated player in nfl history(Jerry Rice) #thegoat.
You Showboated one time when he caught a interception
Was lucky enough to see these battles. Gotta show my son these clips 💪💪💪
Need more of these!
I love both ' but i think Deion won the career matchup
jaboo82681 did you not watch the video ' rice only got 1 good play on deion
DeSean Jackson #Jaccpot #0ne0fone #1hunna Lol and this is one game. There were also 11 other games where they faced off.
You would think wrong. They faced off 10x and Rice got 6 100 yd games out of it.
You're an idiot. Deion had his moments and got a few wins but Rice was a Falcon torch! See 1990, and 92 both sweeps over Deion and Rice even had 5 td's in a game!
You didn't hear Deion say he hate playing against Jerry
When football was good
When it was real
What a match up, good childhood memories
It's definitely not the same these days. There will never be another Jerry Rice vs Deion Sanders rivalry.
Now that's football
dude some of those throws were awful i’m looking T you steve young
Aisian ThreeQUISIANS I was saying same this rice had prime beat on a lot of the plays ... ball either overthrown or got there late
Two of the best goin at it!
This video brings back some memories indeed and hearing Madden make me tear up 😢💚🙏
All sanders had was "catch up speed". Rice Beat him at the line every damn time. If the ball was released fast enough It's a touch down for Rice each time. Plus they didn't show the touch down Rice had on Sanders when Montana was the QB
How about Deion's kicks, them diamond turfs were tough
Two legends
Beautiful. This takes be back.
If Jerry rice played in today's league, he'd average 4 tds in game.
hed average 4 yards maybe lmao
@@noahgeorge6609 embarrassing take
@@simondownes2928 dude embarrassed a highly ranked college prospect at 40 something years old wearing jeans and holding his car keys😂
No CB will ever be on the same level as Prime Time ;)!
Aaron Rodgers #GOAT #TheBadMan #HailMaryKing He destroyed the packers back in the 90s
Alfonso Montoya lol
Aaron Rodgers #GOAT #TheBadMan #HailMaryKing Rod Woodson Mel Blount Night Train Lane
Revis in his prime from 2009-2011 was just as good as Sanders
Pretty much. It's easy to visualize Prime Sanders dominating today's NFL.
Atlanta native. I haven't been a falcons fan since his departure. As a kid it really hurt me . we all high stepped towards the endzone and did his dance step by step. Greatest falcon ever! Please retire #21 atlanta it hurts to see it being disrespected every Sunday by trash tussant or whatever his name is.
I've been watching pro football since I was to 7 years old my 1st game was with my grandfather at Harvard Stadium in 1970 I watched the Boston Patriots lose to the Buffalo Bill's O J Simpson was a rookie who had 3 touchdowns that day never thinking he was going to wind up the way he did anyway the 2 greatest defense I've players I have seen in the last 49 years were Lawrence Taylor' and Deon Sanders those 2 were incredible players I haven't seen anybody like those 2 since
Why can't boomers use punctuation?
Wikipedia says Goats only love for about 18 years but somehow Deion is 50. #FACTS
They fall out of love after 18
You obviously haven’t heard of Mel Blount
Problem is with the NFL rules now there'd be alot of "pass interference #21 10yd penalty, 1st down"! Great defensive player and Rice was an awesome WR
He wasn’t holding tho
Watching this gives me nostalgia!
Two of the all time greats! Offense and defense. Don’t see this kind of greatness anymore with all the rule changes.
*two of THE greatest at their respective positions
For Madden 18 G.O.A.T. Edition, should I get Jerry Rice or Deion Sanders?
That Guy Deion. Rice is trash in madden because he has no athletic skill. Deion is a great punt returner and a really good cover CB.
TrogzNogzHD did u see his block shed its like 35 he will get man handle he will get pancake due to madden new defensive scheme
That Guy tom Brady
Noah Graglia no he's too slow and my team elite will be Aaron Rodgers from green bay
That Guy sanders
Jerry is the greatest WR.
My 2 favorite players of all time!!!
Insane that the best WR ever was alive and playing during the same time the best DB ever was. What a time it was to be alive. Too bad i was only 1 when this game took place
Woodsen. Mark Haynes. Darrell Green. Lester Hayes. I would take them over Mr. PT. His years with Falcons had him facing Rice. Did ok. John Taylor ate him up. Rams Filpper Anderson and especilly Henry Ellard same. Saints Joe Horn? Sanders pulled his stupidity act letting Ellard come of line in slot. Ouick 7 yard slant had him 5 tards behind. Closed it by 3 yards but Henery pulled away. He was a long jumper from Fresno St. And ran legs on many usa 4x100 teams. Look up sports Referance. You can see game stats . Those guys all light him up for over 200 yards in games.
Who else is getting annoyed from the fake Odell Beckham?
Me

RicanFelix06 I'm getting annoyed from the real Odell Beckham.
RicanFelix06 nice. I respect that
I hate those fake accounts
Deion Sanders > the overrated Odell Beckham jr. Hand me W's
RicanFelix06 WWWWWWWWWWW
RicanFelix06 different positions though?
MattTheDestroyer 1234 he means who would do a better job at their positions and if Deion would of shut him down.. the answer is he would of shut his ass down
comparing two different positions. L
There was nothing better than watching a Jerry Rice vs Deion Sanders game with John Madden calling the play. The only thing that could have made it better would have been a game on Thanksgiving.
Two extraordinary athletes.
Sanders>Odell
Melvin Gordon ...
Duh
Wtf kinda comparison is that
1:22 & 1:49 I thought Deion "couldn't taccle" 🤔

ASE is a name you WILL remember. Just wait on it.
Now hand me a jumbo L cause I love haters
Some of these throws were so bad. A lot of the plays Deion made was because of bad throws.
Called make up speed
I agree, some of Steve Young's throws. Anyway, I won't take that on Sanders, he was a great cornerback. He'd purposely slow down to make the receiver appear open and then just speed up and cover him like a blanket.
Back when Jerry Rice was my favorite receiver. I loved being the 49ers on Tecmo Bowl😁😁😁
is jerry still your fav Wr?
@@dbox9354 I would say he is.
2 of the GOATs at there positions 💪🏿💪🏿
Young as accurate AF.
jon Q there were some bad throws in there though. Some inaccurate or just too long to get there. Same with Grbac too.
jon Q we are not watching the same vid
@@YTuser999 Grbac was straight garbage. Lol.
These highlights show me Sanders made plays when the QB made a terrible pass...Jerry is doing what he wants when he wants. Love Sanders but lets not pretend Sanders was battling Jerry. No one is guarding Jerry.
2 of the best players in NFL history FACTS
Prime Jerry and Prime-Prime. Gotta love it.
WTF at the Odell comments ? Why is he even in the conversation between Rice vs Sanders ? Hell I think even Rice could lock Beckham down. Not to say Odell is trash but WR and DB are mirrors of each other and Rice has the ability to cut on a dime. Deion in his prime ( pun intended ) would have Beckham trying to fight him out of frustration. If Josh Normans skill and trash talking got under his skin can you imagine what an elite level athlete and trash talker in Deion would do ? Beckham would rather rage out and get ejected for his temper than be demoralized by Sanders.
Back before every play receivers were crying for flags
Naw they been crying for flags, that's in the WR dna
I wish I was able to experience this era of football
The *LEGENDARY* MATCHUP!
