    Deion made himself look silly.

    "you keep being a fan and I'll keep being the man"

    Baddest dude on the planet DW? Lol....More like “baddest dude at tackling”. He was allergic to contact. Was he a good cover corner and fast, sure...But average at baseball, and avoided contact like the plague. Like I said, he would be holding Bo Jackson’s gear....

    Bo- One game- Jackson?


    Deion's job was to shut down + make plays and that's what he did.

    Beyond that, he was the poster child for sports super star.

    Grew up watching them both bro...No comparison. Bo’s career ended early sadly, but he was better at both sports. Just as fast if not faster, stronger, played a harder position too. Ran people over and made big plays. Hit for power in baseball too. Sure, Sanders had a longer career, but superstar? Not in baseball....and he didn’t do much tackling in football...easy to go 10+ when you run away from contact.

    Deion was simply a super star. Dude was all the rage. Had the personality for it. Bo? Not so much.

    But Bo was one of the greatest athletes of all time.

    Not tackling when you're shutting down HOF WRs throughout your career is a bit silly of a knock.

    Not a silly knock when you are talking duration and overall talent. Tackling is part of the game, and there are times in coverage/play, that CB’s need to tackle. He had some very embarrassing moments. That said, he was a great cover corner..but he didn’t walk on water like he claims he did...

    Bo was incredible at both football and baseball. If his career was long he could have been superstar level at both. You're right, he hit with power in baseball and trucked defenders in football.

    Deion was a great corner and kick returner but his tackling was not good. Regardless, mad CB skills and shut down WRs. I wouldn't call him a great baseball player, he was average at best and didn't excel in anything
