- Primetime. Neon Deion. The Hype, the athleticism, the biggest moments, and the controversial, brash style that came with it all. Sanders played for multiple teams in his 14-year career and is regarded as one of the greatest professional and collegiate football players of all time. But just how good was Deion Sanders actually?

My pops told me when he went to go see his frat brothers run a track meet at FSU that Prime had a baseball game a field over. He said he saw him jump the gate check in for relay in FULL baseball uniform and blew those guys out the water. Then he hopped back over the gate and hit a HR an inning or 2 later. My dad still talks about that and how amazed everybody was because he did it so effortlessly.
😎
That's what you call a natural.
I was there that day myself, it was the conference championship track meet at FSU, I was a jumper for Memphis State. He did it just like that, and handily beat some very fast people who were dedicated track stars. I won’t ever forget that one myself.
One point though Just to clarify I remember he did jump over fence in his baseball uniform, but quickly changed into track uniform and shoes for the 100, quickly changed and went back for the baseball game. At least how I remembered the conference meet if that was the one. It was so cool to see him do that
@@knoxflier5171 so this somewhat implies that Deion may have done this MORE than once?!?! 🐐
Hitting a home run in the MLB and scoring a touchdown in the NFL in 24hours is hands down the most badass thing ever done in sports. It will never happen again.
Not to mention Deion said he wasn't even under contract with the Atlanta Braves during that postseason.. he was just playing with them for free, without pay because his contract had expired.
And he was actually really good at basketball too!
This is impressive as f, not talked about enough
Don't forget- Bo knows sports too though... Class dismissed.
@@eldiablo3794nd he often played football both ways - offense and defense. And punt returns.
And now he makes a pretty good coach.
Watching Deon run the bases in person was amazing. When he hit a triple he never rounded the bases, he made sharp cuts like he was running a pass pattern in football. He easily turned what for most would be a double into a triple. A unique once-in-a-century athletic talent.
Deon got sent back to the minors before he gave up on baseball
I saw him hit a pop fly in the minors in a game in OKC. By the time the ball landed he was already passing 3rd bass. I remember a gasp coming over the crowd. Talk about speed!!!
And your point being? What have YOU ever accomplished in your life? @@ericmcgowan1993
Who's more of a freak? Deon or Bo?
To see what he’s doing real time at CU and what he did at JSU… This man is a legend human being.
Yeah he's actually really good as a coach too.
especially in his own mind!!
Legend bahahahahahahhahaa you need to look up the word
@@RT22-pb2ppnah hes a legend
@@RamboBrazyy in his own mind
Prime always talked a big deal and lived up to the hype. Freakish athlete, studied his butt off and had amazing work ethic. One of a kind. Rare breed.
But, he said on All The Smoke (on Showtime) he never talked trash on the field to the opposing players.,
Carlton Fisk had a little something to say about Sander's work ethic and respect for the game.
studied his butt off? an amazing athlete no doubt. but studied his butt off?
@@bethcollinsworth3373 he worked his butt off and studied film. Satisfied now?
If you have to ask yourself “how good was Deion” you might wanna get a psychological exam
His baseball career was highly underrated. Man was lethal as an outfielder and base stealing. I’m honored to have watched him live.
Deion lit up the 1992 World Series. Batted over .500
I was at a few of his games with the SF Giants. Dude made the crowd go crazier than when Bonds was up to bat.
@@jamesage24 yes and had the Braves won the World Series, Deion would hands down have been the MVP!
Base stealing was ridic
just wait, hes been training his kids and they are freaks.
Hands down one of the most talented athletes of the 20th century. I remember watching Primetime as a kid and wishing to be just like him. Dion has been a TRUE winner his entire life
One of the most unique players to ever play in the NFL. He had a unique stance, very low to the ground, from which he could rotate and burst in any direction. He could cover anywhere on his half of the field. So no one threw to his side because he could always get there before the ball did. He nearly eliminated the passing offense on HALF the field. Phenomenal hands too. Not a trash talker either. Wide receivers would report that he would actually give them tips during the game. That's confidence. Never be another.
"Wide receivers would report that he would actually give them tips during the game" 😂🤣🤯🤯🤯🤯😱😱 that probably struck fear in EVERYONE'S HEART who he was guarding, that is CRAZY!!!
That added even more to his legacy
THE GOAT HIMSELF 🐐
He also went against the opposing team's best receiver, not just picked a side. He picked the side where the best was on, so don't get it twisted that he just shut down the same side down, regardless of who was there
We’ll probably never see another athlete like Prime because of the AAU style sports where kids play a single sport nearly year round... in years past, guys played every sport they could.. he’s definitely 1 of a kind
There's still a lot of kids who blow up high schools like that but I'd argue colleges/professionalism are the bottle necks and not AAU.
@@toastedt140 yep it’s better to play one sport and always train for it rather than just play other sports
@@Messup7654 So you think he’d have been a better corner if he hadn’t played baseball, basketball, and run track? No, he was as good as he was *because* he played all those - each sport sharpens a different skill, creates different court/field “vision”, and increases spatial perception.
@@RustyCas999 no because he wouldn’t out in the work by himself to train I mean for those who will learn and out in the work for it you can get better at a ton of things without those sports your wasting time when really you could learn and get better at them yourself
What about Bo Jackson?
What a pleasure to grow up in the 90s to watch Jordan, Deion and Ronaldo (Brazil).
Facts oh and Gretzky
100 percent
90's had so many Athletes Bo Jackson as well
@@FLLARMRTV Yo I remember the show PRO stars!!!
@@JBurnz001 Yo remember the show PRO stars?
The fact that somebody who is that unique can be a successful coach and lead men with only a fraction of the talent that he had is even more incredible
💯
The thing that is surprising is what a great teammate he was. From all I have read he would come into a locker room to a new team and guys would be skeptical of his attitude. In no time he won everyone over and made the team better not only from his play on the field. The most amazing player I ever watched.
and all those interception that he would lateral...
In football, yes. Most of his baseball teams were not a fan of his and he distanced himself in return.
i graduated from n. ft. myers high school back in 99 and i will never forget the day he came up in his lexus and came and sat down with me and few friends in the cafeteria and had lunch with us
THEY RECONSTRUCTED HIS CONTRACT SO HE COULD PLAY BOTH POST SEASONS IN FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL SHOWS U HOW DOPE OF AN ATHLETE HE WAS! TO HIT A HOME RUN AND THEN GO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN WITHIN A DAY IS LEGENDARY! PRIME TIME IS THE GOAT... BEEN THE GOAT SINCE FSU
This part.
A man who could talk the talk and walk the walk. It was a joy to have him help my Niners win a SB. GBU Deion.
And that man LOVES to talk. It is why so many people don't like him. He is all brawn, no brain. He talks like a conman preacher.
Had a chance to see Deion hit a home run against the Rockies. It was the Rockies first year and they were playing in Mile High Stadium. He hit a ball that rolled all the way to the wall right in front of where we were sitting in the "Rock Pile" ($1 seats in the outfield)
When the ball hit the wall, I looked up and Prime was already almost to 3rd base. Crazy fast, inside-the-park home run.... standing up. Never forget it.
You will never see someone like this man. You said it yourself he’s built different. He’s one in a trillion never going to be a mother dion sanders
lmao ... you don't know how genetics work do you? :D
What are you even talking
@@michael2305 Dude nobody cares about your knowledge of genetics.
Deion is a one in a trillion athlete but there will dawn someone greater.
Lol you said "a mother dion sanders".....
It’s amazing how you don’t get enough time to react to one of his amazing accolades/achievements before your told another one. Absolute one of a kind freak athlete.
Lol ya feel me?!
And now he is coaching…like no one else. Amazing!
Never again will we see such an athlete ashamed my son wasn’t able to truly witness one of the most gifted athletes ever. My generation 45 and up really got to witness some of the greatest athletes in sports
Tiger,MJ, Magic,TB ,
and Kobe.
DON'T FORGET BO JACKSON, KEN GRIFFEY AND BARRY BONDS!
Deion and Bo are unmatched company.
2 OF THE GOATS 🐐💯
facts
@@deloramone6304 Deion yes Bo no, Deion HOF no sight of Bo there. I admit Bo did get hurt but was not in the same league as Deion
@@dougslaback3459, the ONLY reason Bo Jackson isn’t in both HoFs is because he got hurt. Your comment is ridiculous. Both men are world. Class athletes…but Bo Jackson was better.
No, Bo was not the same. Bo even says this in interviews. One is in the HOF and one played like 5 years.
Deion was one of the very few who was able to cover Jerry Rice. Jerry ran routes like no other. The two of them playing against each other was a ballgame by itself!
When Jerry caught it, he knew he'd score since Deion didn't know how to tackle.
Kevin Smith was not as fast but a much better cornerback.... Sanders had closing speed but couldn't consistently tackle if he had to....Pup had it all... just my opinion
Rice was not a hard guy to cover. Rice was not talented just determined and very durable. Prime could not cover Moss for his life.
@@abcall-timesboxingchanneln7076
Deion was past his prime when he faced Moss. He wasn’t good anymore. Deion in his prime would of been step for step with Moss on every route.
@@abcall-timesboxingchanneln7076
Btw, Rice was an incredibly difficult guy to cover. Not because of his talent, but because of his conditioning. He only ran 4.7, but he could run 4.7 for 4 quarters, every play. That, and he was a master technician of a route runner, and had a genius level football IQ
My dad loved prime time! That's where the love for cowboys started for me. He was electric & his boys shedeur & Shiloh are just as exciting to watch
I loved when he played for the Falcons and when ever anyone on defensive made an interception they would look for him and get the ball to him, he was special, sooooo fast
Aye that guy looks like Leon Sandcastle
@LOGAN T C 1 your telling me you don’t know who that is?
Ik right wonder if they’re realayed
Yeah he kind of does.
I'm wondering if they're related 🤔 👀 😂
Dude, Deion is a better looking Leon.
truly a LEGEND.i still remember your shoes in the 90s. id sleep in em. 21 for life.

InstaBlaster
Prime is one of the GOATS but I'd rather have your shoes in my bed Audrey lol
@@Dancingontgesun1942 L grandpa
@@hatedrakoo4441 Do you feel better now?
Even more than his on-field performance was his showmanship. In a league full of amazing athletes and incredible players, Prime Time was by far the most entertaining and energizing man in that league. As an FSU fan, he was a delight to watch.
He is an American Treasure. I wish him and his family the best.
This music towards the end is really poor quality and boring!; Deion is an all around athlete; for sure. Not a slouch and a full time- excellence in every way; I still wish for Deion that he was still married...
He also has some of best dance moves in NFL history
Facts. Everybody did that dance on and off the field back in the day. Some still do.
WE NEED A MOVIE ON THIS MAN KIDS NEED TO KNOW
The videos Deion Jr. is putting out of Prime coaching JSU is the movie. It's all still happening.
It's insane to me that someone got a nickname like 'Prime Time' in high school and not only lived up to, but exceeded the hype in many ways. The man literally won back to back Super Bowls with different teams and won DPOY for the first one. Deion Sanders is a peak human being.
Dude was def a beast, and the fact he played all 3 sports at a high level proves it even more, imagine if he woudve dedicayed himself to one sport he woudve been even better
And now he’s coaching Jackson State University…He is a Blessed man
Now Colorado.
now top 25 coach@@multiyapples
We Believe!
Fact he played for legendary teams during his time and did multiple sports at the same time he is truly MVP.
Now he’s turning into an amazing coach dude can’t lose
There will NEVER be anyone like Deion Sanders. Followed him from FSU on. I hate Dallas but I cheered for Deion when he was on the field. I am so happy for him at Colorado. Prime Time baby!
Whenever Deion was back to receive a punt or kickoff you could just feel the electricity in the stadium or living room as he was ALWAYS a threat to go all the way.
Deion was so damn good that he looked great just waving for a damn fair catch 👏🏽 u just couldn't take your eyes off of him.
His TD punt return vs redskins when he texas stadium when he for booed for going to the locker room. Hurt. He got so mad at getting booed that he ran back on the field and to the backup return man to get off the field and prime time scored 🤦 😂 amazing.
I think Deion was the greatest athlete to ever do it
Naw bobo was “bo Jackson”
@@Indianmaui but bobo got hurt way to soon you cant say that
No, that was Bo
Dion was better at both then bo
@@swaglord2748 dieon was a below average hitter for the majority of his career
Oh man, let me tell you about Deion Sanders! That guy was an absolute legend on the field. I mean, talk about speed, agility, and pure finesse - he had it all. Whether it was football or baseball, Prime Time showed us how it's done. No doubt, he's one of the all-time greats! 🏈⚾🔥
Great video I had forgotten or didn’t know most of these details. What a stud. Unbelievable Dion backed it up just like he’s doing now in coaching, phenomenal!
I loved growing up watching Sanders for ATL, SF, and Dallas. Those were amazing years to grow up watching football
Definitely one of the Greatest Athletes to walk on the face of the earth.
I don't think so, Bo the little and amazing things he did out passes what ever Deon did. Ok talked way to much. Class goes along way as well. Bo had class, skills above remarkable and freak of nature. Deon did and accomplished but come on no way
@@deirdrajuarez7926 he said “one of the greatest” and he’s right, who cares about class when this video is literally all about athletic ability
@@deirdrajuarez7926 You don't think so? Did you watch this damn video, or come straight to the comments?
He always made it look easy and he was having fun. Never heard him be nasty or trash talk anybody. He is still that same way now as a coach. He must have had a good upbringing. It's just charisma and confidence not arrogrance. He was named Prime Time because it was an earned nickname not one that he chose himself. The light was on then and now. Keep helping young men develop into good athletes and good grown me too.
One of the rare athletes who talked big and then delivered the goods.
I loved seeing him play for the 49ers. It was the best I've ever seen him play. Teams were scared to throw it his way.
wouldn't you be? I would.
It was easily his best season because he had to regularly practice against jerry rice
I wish Bo had as long of a career. It would have been awesome to see these guys battle it out for years in 2 sports
Bo all the way
Problem was Bo was taking the hits at RB while Prime was pacing himself at CB and not a great tackler but knew how to lengthen his career. If Prime were a running back like Bo he would not have lasted long.
My Gawd!
Bo was better just a bad break in the injury dept.
Better at what? Apples and oranges comparing football careers
Man this stuff don't ever get old. Some just don't get how exceptional this man is. The man is historical. And yet still making history. How much more convincing is it going to take, I don't know. But he's being forced to show the world, no matter how many times the goal post is moved. Best start giving him his flowers b4 he surpasses everything sports and accolades can muster up.
Deion sanders was a very unique and interesting talent.. dual professional athlete and was extremely successful in everything he did. What a blessing to watch . Also he played for ALL the greatest teams (ATLANTA FALCONS. ATLANTA BRAVES. DALLAS COWBOYS. SAND FRANCISCO 49ERS And excelled IN all of them. He was the ALL STAR of the ALL STARS... ot really doesn't get any better
Deion was, and continues to be, something else.
He played a NFL and MLB game in the same day! 1990's All Decade team...At two positions! One of my favorite players. There was a camera and microphone always on him. For good reason. 👍 21
Deion had the best recovery speed in NFL history. It was like he was letting the WR get by him or purpose to bait the QB into throwing, then he closed the gap and broke the pass up or intercepted it.
I remember him on dallas when i was young, he was so fun to have on your side. So many times we'd all look at each other wide eyed and say wow did you see deion! He was something. Not to mention his self belief, its off the charts.
So proud of that boy!...I'm the only one to say this statement in my mind. Thank you for giving back in JSU...These kids needed and you showed up...God Bless You.
I was never a big Braves fan, but can vividly recall a sequence from a game in the early 1990's that showed the type of player Deion was. He took first base (can't recall if he got the hit or was walked). He then stole 2nd base. And then stole 3rd base. And, wouldn't you know it, he also stole home. I have never seen anything like it before or since.
I think he walked to get on base, then manufactured a run completely by himself, if I remember correctly.
Thats crazy
Prime time was grate .!
I think I remember that now
@lindseysummers5351, Jackie Robinson.
This guy is really special. I always respected his gangsta
My nickname was “prime time” in HS…bcuz I had 8 picks in one season…3 for pick 6…however, I didn’t know he got his nickname from basketball…I got my nickname from the great Deion….he was truly inspirational and impacted the game like the great Lester Hayes did….he was a pure lockdown CB with the God given ability to return punts with an unpredictable impact…that in itself is truly inspiring..as a multi player athlete il proud that my teammates nicknamed me after such an inspirational player..I’m very excited to see him progress as a coach now!!!
What a wonderful story and congratulations, young man. Good luck to you.
You’re no Al Bundy
@@whats1981 I hope you meant that in a positive way.
I think it's safe to say, as much as he is loved by football fans that watched him in the 80s-90s, Deion is the most underrated pro athlete of all time!
Watch yo mouth
The United States harasses victims of deviant pedophilic abuse by people who are abusing the technology they have access to in the military.
Victims of this are raped and abused and then as they get older are then stalked and harassed both on and offline by creeps that are helping their friends get away with their crimes.
They sabotage the lives of their victims to make them as hellish as possible, and some victims don’t even know their victims because much of the rape happens when they are drugged or asleep.
The men who do this think that they can shame their victims into silence because some of the actions are coerced.
It is arguable but I think you are right, however, there was Bo, Jim Thorpe, and Jim Brown out there.
BS
a singular talent. no other db in his orbit for just owning every reciever and qb completely
One of a kind - absolutely no doubt. Beyond generational.
Prime was a freak of nature..never will there ever be another person with that man's talent. Best CB of all time..
Great video! Glad I checked it out!
i heard he pulled to the combine in a limo, ran the 40 and got back right in the limo and dipped
Legendary shit bruh 🤣🤣🤣 so smooth
Lol, that sounds about right!
Quite possibly the greatest athlete of all time. Play as many sports as you can when you're young kids, it helps immensely at the next level.
Eazy guy....ever heard of BO JACKSON
@@atg1338 Bo is in the conversation but he didn’t accomplish the things Deion did because of the injury.
@@FLValentino only guy to be a all star and all pro....hit a hr in the all star game...Sanders never made an all star game
@@atg1338 I know that. I’m talking about the championships and individual awards. Bo’s injury stopped him from accomplishing anything beyond the all-star and pro bowl selections.
@@atg1338 the all star game is a joke and Bo Jackson struck out as much as Jose Canseco
I really did not know what I was watching at the time because if I had I would have cherished it so much more. This guy is one of the few who talked the talk but walked the walk!!! Absolute Jaw Dropping Greatness!
Words can't explain the overflow of talent this man has on and off the field. Not to mention gut level honest w himself and those around him. Loves the ground his kids walk on and spiritually grounded. Perfect example of how gratification brings multiplication. Always has something positive to say and carries himself with class. Can't even tell you how much Deion motivates me and everyone around him 💯
Deion was awesome as a player. He talked the talk and backed it up.
All the Athleticism, all the Swag. And most importantly, Winning, and All the Class that probably no other Human in History could achieve and maintain... He is his own GOAT.
CLASS? You use the word CLASS to describe Deion Sanders? Surely you're joking.
@@RedandrangerThinking the same thing, For all his talents the man is a narcissistic opportunist and con man Class? He doesn't know the meaning.
@@Redandranger You Obviously don't know what Class is....Deion is the epitome of Class with a good mix of Swag. You Obviously never had any.
@@Redandranger The Hate Is Real tho....I see u.

Talked the talk and Walked the Walk. Legend!!!!
Prime is one of the 10 most important players in football history. He changed the game. You can’t tell the story of football without him.
Definitely one of the two greatest athletes of all time. The other being Bo Jackson
Deion was that kid who played outside all day with endless energy.
Football. Basketball. Baseball. Kickball...Whatever game was going on...he was playing it.
kickball 😂
Yes that how I was as a kid
Bo Jackson was naturally better than everybody in the world. Deion had that same gift. He was just able to stay healthy. It’s just god given talent. Eye hand coordination, speed, fast twitch muscle fibers, mental maturity and able to process things so much faster than everybody. I went to tons of Braves games back then and it was insane how fast he was.
We loved Deion as a Cowboy and love him as the now Coach Prime. Hello from Texas
i was lucky enough to be in Ravens (M&T Bank) Stadium for the last two interceptions of his career. the crowd exploded both times, great memories.
In the span of a year I watched him play against the Bengals in football, then again in baseball with the Reds. He had a smoothness to his run that is hard to describe. Just looked different from everyone else on the field.

Absolutely...... LEGENDARY
Thank for the memories in Florida State we will always love prime time.
Deion Sanders will always be my all time favorite player.
Favorite football player all time. Guy was a beast at many things, including his commentary.
Love him or hate him, what man wouldn't want to be like him. He's a grown mans fantasy!
Deion was actually heavily recruited out of high school by the Kansas City Royals- The scout that was assigned couldn't close the deal and got fired-my dad was an old friend of his and had an 'associate scout' card , and it was my dad that made the final call, in which Deion's mom told him he wasn't going to play baseball, that he was going to college and play football-
There will never be another player like him!
The one & only Prime Time!

Thank you, so much for your informative and spellbinding video. I always liked Deion, but didn’t appreciate the magnitude of his talent. Your compilation does a terrific job of showing how special he was. WoW!
Blessed and Happy New Year!
Geesh.. incredible human being.. God blessed him with so much ability.
Just holy shit. Skill alone is all time. Showmanship makes it truly next level
Neon Deon is a living legend. He’s pick sixes were a thing of legend. He’s a solid coach, too. ~_~
You stood up when he was on the field whether it was football or baseball because you had that feeling something incredible might happen ...that's how good he was.
Yes like see if he would actually tackle
One of the finest football players of all damn time hands down he was a joy to watch!
Amazing video!!

Once a commentator said,"I would never let a player shut down all my pass plays to one side of the field". Do you know what happened after that statement.The first play thrown to his side Deion picked it off. The team not learning anything from the first pick-off ,threw to his side again which he he picked that pass off too.Needless to say they didn't throw to that side for the rest of the game.
This man was ahead of his time that’s without all social media etc internet. He will never be replicated
