Sterling Sharpe is a HALL OF FAMER in my eyes.. I've been preaching this for year's!! Sterling Sharpe's 7 year career was pretty special.. 5 Pro Bowls & 3 1st team ALL-PRO & won the TRIPLE CROWN.. Which is remarkable, competing with guy's like Jerry Rice, Andre Reed & Michael Irvin.. Jerry Rice & Sterling Sharpe dominated the WR position & were the only 2 WR'S to earn MVP votes during that 7 year streach run. Sterling Sharpe had more 1st Team ALL-PRO's, then, Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Reed & Tim Brown combined.. Let that sink in for a bit lol 112 game's/ 595 rec/ 8,134 yard's/ 65 TD'S/ Triple Crown/ 5 Pro Bowls- 3 1st Team ALL-PRO/ That's a HELLUVA career, especially the QB'S who were throwing to Sharpe at the beginning of his career, before Favre got there.. Sterling Sharpe had better numbers in his first 7 year's then Michael Irvin & Andre Reed, who are both HALL OF FAMERS.. My definition of a HALL OF FAMER, is ( Did you DOMINATE at your position during your career?? Were you Top 5 at your position in your career?? All of the answers were, YES!!! HE DID!!
When you factor in all the passing rule changes from '94 to now that have increased all the passing & receiving numbers by about 20% (or even more), Sterling Sharpe's career is almost identical to Calvin Johnson's. Calvin Johnson got in first ballot and Sharpe evidently has no chance in hell. Stupid. Really stupid.
Sterling did work on Deion here. IMO he would've been the greatest if not one of the greatest WR ever had he never suffer that career ending injury in his prime. He deserves to be in the HOF.
Sharpe did so much work in the NFL over a short period of time. Its ridiculous that injury cut his career short. Even his brother Shannon Sharpe admitted he is 2nd to Sterling.
Deion and Woodson, as well. He also averaged 85 catches, 1,160 yds, 13.65 YPC, and 9TDs a season on top of that. When you only complete 7 seasons, you should be in the HOF(if those things can be said about you)! If he would have played a long career and did not get a ring, then--if he can beat Sanders and Woodson--it would not have been his fault! Although, they might have gotten 2 or more if had he not ended his career(the Denver SB game was a 1 possession game and so was the 49ers div playoff game in 98). So, who knows?!
I love when people see Deion Sanders match-up because then you'll realize that even "shutdown corners" still give up some catches and first downs during a game.
Lol did anybody see that the player Darrien Connor who made the late play actually hit his own teammate which was Deion Sanders? He was from Jackson State. I know it really doesn’t mean anything, but it seems like a random coincidence lol
This game, 10 days after Ron Wolf got hired as GM of the Packers. Went to go look at Favre in warmups and said to Packers President Bob Harlan in the Atlanta press box "If his arm is as good as it was coming out of college, we're gonna make a trade for him" Bob Harlan looked at the game sheet and said "who the heck is Brett Fav-or?"
The starting quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons in 1991 was Chris Miller (who wore #12). 1991 was actually Chris Miller's lone pro-bowl season. Brett Favre's number in Atlanta was #4. Brett Favre's 1991 season stats for the Falcons was 4 attempts, 0 completions and 2 interceptions. An inauspicious beginning for sure! 🙂
@@soneworleans Yeah he was a bum. He lasted 1 season with Green Bay, played only 7 games, had a 53.8% completion percentage, 11 TDS to 9 Interceptions.
This just shows you how hard it is to play corner and Sterling Sharpe was an elite receiver I think they should put him in the Hall of Fame Gale Sayers and Terrell Davis both got in the Hall of Fame and there careers weren't that long I think he deserves to be in it
Not because I'm Wisco, but Sterling Sharpe was the GOAT and Jerry. He got hurt right when Green Bay Got really good. It was just Jerry and Sterling for 7 years. Put my brother in the Hall YOU PUT Sayers in.
Terrell Davis was on his way in Denver too. Dude helped Elway get 2 rings and racked up the yardage. Unfortunately those migraines got the best of his career
I wanna know why deion never got criticize for joining Micheal Irvin n Jerry rice I thought it was about competition u can't have the best cornerback on the same team as the best wrs
San Fran rented him for one year to win a ring (which he obviously wanted, but wasn't going to get in Atlanta). Then Dallas gave him $25 million to sign with them (which back then was huge). The guy wrote $anders on his autographs. We all knew what mattered to him lol.
@@LegendoftheDragonSword why couldn't he get it n Atlanta if you are prime time u should want too join the greatest wrs Jerry rice and Micheal Irvin u supposed to be the greatest corner of all time u suppose to try too beat them he gets a pass but the world criticize KD when he went to the warriors or when lebron went to Miami so deio sanders went the easy way too get rings but nobody wants to say it because everybody luv primetime
@@dariusfountain683 You're right on. It's a valid opinion. The 1994 49ers were the first team to "buy" a championship in free agency. Green Bay did it in '96. Now it's almost expected. Those were the only titles Steve Young and Brett Favre won and it more or less was the team assembled around them. People should give them more crap about their rings too.

Soon as Sterling Sharpe got his HOF QB like Rice with Joe Montana....... immediately you saw what was going on ... Sharpe in my eyes.. is an equal ..
Totally agree. The Packers with 3 straight MVP Favre in his prime with Sharpe would have been brutal to deal with

supratrd900 This was before Deion became truly great but Sharpe was a beast

@TIL IS 4 What does any of that mean?
This was the game when Ron Wolf decided he was going to trade for the 3rd string QB on Atlanta, after seeing him throw pregame.
I love when people see Deion Sanders match-up because then you'll realize that even "shutdown corners" still give up some catches and first downs during a game.
Duh 😂
Deion even said Sharpe was different.
I believe Deion once said that Sterling Sharpe was the toughest receiver to cover and not Jerry Rice.
I think he said that Sterling was that dude but he has said multiple times Jerry was his toughest opponent
Sterling was more physical than Rice. But Rice’s conditioning was phenomenal.
@@andrewfung8591 Nope he just said it in his interview with Shannon it was Sterling.
Well Jerry had 60rec 1151yds and 12TDs vs Deion in 10 games🤣🤣🤣
@@bayodaman He said Sterling was so strong and the most physical, Rice torched him badly though
Awesome to see Sterling & Prime! Also, Bret Favre on the Atlanta sideline!
That was Farve to Rison at 4:45!
@@karl6852 except Favre wore #4 not 12...
@@silverguard8105 did you read the replies to my post?
I wish young people could’ve seen this guy…. NODOBY could guard this dude
He was a beast of a wr. When he caught a pass and squared them shoulders up, he'd run through tackles.
This is pre Brett Favre? Sharpe was a beast. He was Megatron before Megatron came into the league.
Lol did anybody see that the player Darrien Connor who made the late play actually hit his own teammate which was Deion Sanders?
He was from Jackson State. I know it really doesn’t mean anything, but it seems like a random coincidence lol
In this era, Sterling would be an issue in the slot. His toughness, speed, hands smh...physical at that. Man was something special
He is a problem. His name is Ja'marr Chase🤷🏾♂️ same player size and everything. When cincy drafted him That was my comp
I’m here because of the Shannon Sharpe interview with Deion.
Yeah sterling was giving prime the business on this day
here after club Shay Shay interview
This game, 10 days after Ron Wolf got hired as GM of the Packers.
Went to go look at Favre in warmups and said to Packers President Bob Harlan in the Atlanta press box "If his arm is as good as it was coming out of college, we're gonna make a trade for him"
Bob Harlan looked at the game sheet and said "who the heck is Brett Fav-or?"
Always wondered what those straps were on the back of his helmet as a kid. Just now learned
2:05 - An ironic (and unfortunate) bit of foreshadowing.
goes to show no matter how hard you try some things are inevitable. he did his due diligence to prevent the injury and no one can fault him for that.
Sterling was the best Receiver at the time
Sterling was that dude....unbelievable
It’s like sterling knew he was going to have a serious neck injury.
Probably already had neck issues honestly
Get that man a gold jacket
SHARPE WAS BETTER THAN JERRY RICE.
At 4:54 is where you would find da Greenbay Packers legend but on da other team on da side lines
Sterling was such a beast. Would have loved to see what he could have done with a full career
Anyone here from club shay shay?
me!
Right lol
No
Damn Packers lost? they were up 28-14 in the 4th. Packers still blowing leads to Atlanta 32 years later.
😂😅 right!
That"s Favre(#12) to Rison at 4:45! (Wrong. I stand corrected.)
The starting quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons in 1991 was Chris Miller (who wore #12). 1991 was actually Chris Miller's lone pro-bowl season. Brett Favre's number in Atlanta was #4. Brett Favre's 1991 season stats for the Falcons was 4 attempts, 0 completions and 2 interceptions. An inauspicious beginning for sure! 🙂
@@roetjer Damn, you're right. I saw that line drive throw and he looked enough like Favre. My bad. I shouldn't have ASSumed.
Sterling Sharpe should be in the Hall of Fame.
Sterling was my favorite WR as a kid.
Sharpe was a DOG. My favorite Packer of all time other than Reggie.
😂They said “I can’t say anything nice” I will name my FAVORITE PLAYER on all teams playing today.
STERLING SHARPE sorry SHANNON….
If Terrel Davis is in Sharpe is in.
Deion Sanders #21 is about to have a very rough day against Sterling Sharpe. And that's with Tomczak as QB of the Packers.
Tomczak was no bumb
@@soneworleans Yeah he was a bum. He lasted 1 season with Green Bay, played only 7 games, had a 53.8% completion percentage, 11 TDS to 9 Interceptions.
@@ravendonLol he got Wally Pipp’d. They replaced him with Brett Favre
Nah.. Brett Favre replaced Don Majkowski.
This just shows you how hard it is to play corner and Sterling Sharpe was an elite receiver I think they should put him in the Hall of Fame Gale Sayers and Terrell Davis both got in the Hall of Fame and there careers weren't that long I think he deserves to be in it
Was favre at this game as a backup?
Not because I'm Wisco, but Sterling Sharpe was the GOAT and Jerry. He got hurt right when Green Bay Got really good. It was just Jerry and Sterling for 7 years. Put my brother in the Hall
YOU PUT Sayers in.
Man......Imagine what Sharpe would have done with Prime Brett Favre throwing the football instead of Milke Tomzack.
He would have won a super bowl with him
Brett never became great until Sterling retire
That random ass name “Milke Tomzack”
@ 4:54 - #4 - Rookie Brett Favre
Had Sterling not been injured He would have been one of the Greatest of All Time.
The same can be said of Bo Jackson.
Took the words right outta my mouth.
Terrell Davis was on his way in Denver too. Dude helped Elway get 2 rings and racked up the yardage. Unfortunately those migraines got the best of his career
Sterling came back to his home state and balled out
Sanders was lucky Sharpe got a trash QB.
Right! Because sterling would have torched his ass if Favre was on the packers then.
Did prime go against Shannon Sharp?
JFC the first minute and a half is spent on GD penalty, who tf cares.
It is a verY offensive game.
Every CB gets beat every game .. especially if the passing game is a good one.
What is up with that ref
WHO CARES PERIOD!!!!!!!!!
Fun Fact: This game was the birth of the Favre trade.
I wanna know why deion never got criticize for joining Micheal Irvin n Jerry rice I thought it was about competition u can't have the best cornerback on the same team as the best wrs
