Zach Morris I stand with #3. RIP Lennay Hi

Deion was a rare type of athlete. If that could be replicated simply by hard work then we would have seen many like him.

Deion is sort of an enigma. He's got this reputation of the flashy, brash guy

I was thinking the same thing. His entire career was rooted in the fact that he was simply more gifted than everyone

That idea is beginning to make much more sense now. Either way he’s darn near the perfect guy who can straighten out

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.
