Deion's baseball acumen helped him with his timing, when getting an int. What Deion did often was bait the q.b by slightly trailing, or sagging off the intended receiver then with his knowledge of the play, his timing, and athletism recover.
He once baited Rocket Ishmael when Dallas played the Raiders. The QB overthrew Rocket who had a step or two on Dione & before the ball came down Primetime closed so fast to get in front of Rocket Ismail and it looked like the pass was intended for him. Madden talked about that play for a majority of the game after that. His speed was crazy.
@@ericmcgowan1993 lol. Dang man, did that comment went right over your head? We are saying, Deion was a special athlete who made plays every time he got his hands on the football. Primetime was not the playmaker but “a” playmaker indeed.
Nope. Dod uou know he was arrested sr season on way to bowl game for being acessory to robbery? He is same as jamis. Losers in life due to ignorance....amazing free shoes university
Charles Woodson is the greatest CB of all time hands down. Sanders is the greatest freak of nature football player of all time. What does that mean? I don't know but I'm a Michigan fan so...
Deion was something to behold, He is my top pick for best athlete I've ever seen in my lifetime by far. He was blessed to never have a career ending injury.
@@user-sg8kq7ii3y agreed, Deion was better based on performance & staying on the field. EXAMPLE: What good is a 4.1 forty time if you only lasted a year in the NFL?
He basically just mastered the art of hanging back, reading the qb, and then essentially becoming the receiver after the ball was thrown. Of course this takes world class speed and athleticism to pull off.
Yeah. Jalen is extremely athletic and good. No corner has been as quick twitch as Deion. Jalen honestly isn’t close. He just taller and has a hell of a broad jump.
Right...I am a Canes fan from Ohio, so that Rivalry isn't as important or big to me. Of course when they play it's big to me. But I don't hate the Noles like my family in Florida does Lol. I became a fan after my mom bought me a Hurricanes book bag in 3rd grade. My family in Florida told me the rivalry down there is like Ohio State vs Michigan up here. I miss when college football opened the season with the Canes vs Noles.
The athleticism and speed he showed in the punt return vs Clemson is simply amazing. He made the everyone else on that field look un-athletic and slow. He was obviously a great athlete, but he was also one of the smartest players to ever play the game. Watch the way he baited QB’s into throwing his way. Awesome!!!
@@hhh1200 naw. You don’t. Just don’t put yoursef in a position in which you need 4.2 speed. Besides, its a saying in football. “If I’m even, im leavin”. Jalen and stephon are great at turning their head. Both run 4.4 flat. Obviously, not as good as Deion but som players still know how to play dB
It was amazing how fast he was and how amazing his vision was. One thing that made him great was that he could catch. He was in the qb and best receivers heads before the game even started
I'd say Bo was the best athelete of his generation but his body did not hold up and he didn't have the longevity. For my $, Prime is the best athelete of his generation, is the best cb ever (not close), and really is one of the most athletic beings in the history of humanity. Glad I'm old enough to have seen this man play in real time. Breath taking. Electric. Legend.
2:20 Deion with the incredible interception, by a well thrown bomb, over Andre Rison!! Andre would later catch a pass and Juke Deion for a TD score. The two battled it out throughout the game. And would then become Teammates in the NFL for Atlanta Falcons...Better known as Primetime/Showtime
Deion made it all look EASY! That is how great he was. Didn't look like he was running fast but faster than everyone on the field. Great ball skills, as well. Michael Irvine said Deion would have been the greatest receiver of all time if he played the position full-time. Played NFL Football AND then jumped in a plane and played for the Braves?!?! - NOT of this planet!👽
He caught an interception off of Farve they played in Atlanta together! Caught an interception over Rison and Irvin that he both played with in Atlanta and Dallas...Bananas!
I got a Rookie card of his with a Florida State Uni on… I thought this guy looks so cool with the ‘spear’ on the helmet and Florida State sounds like a cool school…this was 1989. They are still my favorite school today!
Charlie Ward was the most exciting and best player in Florida State football history... You start on the basketball team and was drafted out of high school for baseball and he was class President and graduated.
Lucky for Deion the ref missed the false start on Melvin Bratton 5:08, the play would have been blown dead. These FSU / Miami games were monumental during this era.
I live in Oklahoma and they didn't show many FSU games the years Prime played. I feel robbed because I like college football more than the pros. It was the same with Emmit Smith at Florida. What a shame seeing that those schools get much national prime time coverage now.
Imma just tell everyone this. The reason we don’t see corners like Deion anymore is because most players with this speed they convert them into receivers. Think about it how many receivers can you name that can run a 4.3 or even a 4.2.bow how many corners can you Ake run a 4.3 or 4.2? Exactly most run 4.4 or 4.5 unlike Deion he was pretty much a receiver his speed was all he needed to get to the ball first 💯.
Deion sanders was that dude every team. Only Washington and atl didnr get a ring when he played there.Other than that he was that super piece needed. Primetime was a showman
@@TheOlskool4ever yeah bru sanders only has two ring cowboys 49ers he did come the year following the ravens superbowl trying to push them back for two straight which didnt happen.
best part of this was hearing ricky nattiel mentioned, if only because it's been a good 30 years since i've even thought of him. for the record, i couldn't place him, but knew that the name was familiar.
Don't forget about #17 Charlie Ward. Heisman trophy winner and NCAA Champion. Arguably one of the best college QBs ever. Unfortunately that didn’t translate to the NBA but he's a FSU football legend nonetheless. Def all respect to Coach Prime tho
There will never be another Deion. #Livinglegend

@Darryl Perry Yup, like stealing bases.
Definitely, you would think that the QB wouldnt even consider his side regardless where he is.
Yup, he played on his own island once he perfected his craft in the pros and ultimately shut down that side of the field he was playing on
That 4.21 speed allowed him to do that. He had an advantage no other DB had.
He once baited Rocket Ishmael when Dallas played the Raiders.

It’s called a trail technique
@@darrylnelson05 exactly, it's called ball skills for DB's
Its called as he called it baiting the.qb.
Exactly
On those punt returns... he looked like a video game. 4.21 40? 30 years ago? That's insane.
U don’t see DBs making picks like this anymore. Going over the top and snatching balls out of the air before the receiver can get it.
cagehfh excellent ball skills! jalen does it
DB’s definitely still make picks like that...
Yeah. Jalen is extremely athletic and good. No corner has been as quick twitch as Deion. Jalen honestly isn’t close. He just taller and has a hell of a broad jump.

Those punt returns were unreal, I haven’t seen anyone move like that in a long time.
Dion was and will always be the best. When your offense has to plan around him. That’s saying something
GOAT 🐐
Get real
The GOAT.....primetime in full affect..
1:11 That slight tug on Deion's jersey by #78 to let him know to cut back left for the block got him 7 additional yards. Smart football.
Yeah that was great
Good eyes
That was beautiful communication ❤❤
Why today’s corners don’t study this man. They’re even scared to turn their heads in coverage.
True indeed...👍🏼👍🏼
Jalen Ramsey
4:21 SPEED!!! There isn't much to study here. When you can out-run your competition with your head turned it makes things much easier.

Top 5 all time? Slow down, Mike. Definitely one of the top 5 to play his position. Top 5 all time is another conversation.
Probably not a top 5 corner tbh
@@ericmcgowan1993 if you can name 5 other corners that were/are better, you're damn good.
Hats off to the brave college qb's that had the balls to throw his direction. Provided the highlights
Great vid... if u listen and look closely all these highlights are against HOF's or guys who played in the NFL
He is the fastest player I've ever see play football over my 55 years on the planet.
It was amazing how fast he was and how amazing his vision was. One thing that made him great was that he could catch. He was in the qb and best receivers heads before the game even started
FSU used to be a Powerhouse when Bobby Bowden was the coach. Peter Boulware, Derrick Brooks,Warrick Dunn,Peter Warrick,Charlie Ward the list goes on.
What's your point?
My favorite college football coach of all time!
I'd say Bo was the best athelete of his generation but his body did not hold up and he didn't have the longevity.
