Deion Sanders Upset Being Ranked 34th On Top 100 NFL Players List! "Whoever Made This List. You Should Be Slapped With Baby Powder In Your Hands"

Future Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders has always had a mercurial personality, though the people who have played with him over the years will tell you that "Prime Time" is actually a lot more humble and hardworking than people may think. As Sanders will tell you, there's Deion and there's "Prime Time"; we know which one showed up on Thursday's "Total Access" show on the NFL Network to air a grievance about his place on NFL Films' "Top 100 Players of All Time" series. Prime was No. 34 overall, (who voted on this thing???), but he begged to differ just as I do:
Hilarious to be sure, but I'll side with Prime. If he was the best cover corner in the history of the game at his peak for a sustained period of time (and I don't think anyone who saw him would even debate that), and there are 22 players on the field at any given time, why wouldn't the best at one position be higher?

The problem is that this is a Top 100 overall -- the best, the most important, the guys who had the biggest impact in the sport. And I'm not sure how much Deion really changed the game because his skill set was virtually unrepeatable. It's all well and good to say, "I want to shut receivers down just like my hero, Deion Sanders," but unless your name is Darrelle Revis (who's done it for just the one season so far -- that's how hard it is to play at that level at that position), it just ain't happening. I'm with Prime and we are unhappy that the list is weighted to the offensive side of the ball, but that's the way it goes.
