Prime Time — the most electrifying defensive player in NFL history and the only man to play in both a Super Bowl and a World Series.

Deion Sanders is the most complete cornerback in NFL history and one of sport's greatest all-around athletes. He played 14 NFL seasons and won two Super Bowls (with the 49ers and Cowboys). He simultaneously played Major League Baseball — the only athlete to appear in both a Super Bowl and a World Series. His man-to-man coverage was so dominant that offences routinely avoided his side of the field entirely.

He is the only professional athlete to appear in both a Super Bowl and a Major League Baseball World Series.
