Deion Sanders

Deion Sanders, "Prime Time," revolutionized defensive back play with unparalleled speed and flair, winning 2 Super Bowls with two different franchises (Super Bowl XXIX with San Francisco in 1995, Super Bowl XXX with Dallas in 1996). He is the only athlete to play in both a Super Bowl and a Major League Baseball game, a feat unmatched by any player on this list. During his 14-year NFL career he recorded 53 interceptions and was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1994, a season where he allowed just one touchdown in coverage. Sanders is also the only player in NFL history to return both an interception and a punt for a touchdown in the same game — a level of dual-threat playmaking no other cornerback has matched.
