Lots of guys work super hard and will never sniff what Deion was capable of. I won’t argue he didn’t put in work but

If this is true I just became a huge fan of Deion Sanders.

I don't know him but I know people who knew him very well professionally and they said he had a great work ethic.

Totally disagree. Look at how so many behave off the field.
