Deion Sanders CAP

Just in case he comes out of retirement (my guess is that he will) I went back and got Deion's ratings from Madden 2004. I'm sure there will be some tweaks here and there, but it's a starting point nonetheless.

looks pretty good, they want him back as a nickle back, and that's about the right rating for a nickle in this league.

I agree - that's a fair rating for Deion

You should bump down his tackling and awareness. Tackling - because he couldn't and Awareness - hasn't played in over 2 years...can't retain everything.

Too bad there isnt a rating for Bling Bling.
Deion would be 99 in that rating.

[Boltman]

That CAP is rated perfectly.

That's close to were I would had rated him....

A 45 in tackling is a pretty low rating. I think Deion can get the job done when it comes to tackling (albeit an ugly attempt) when he absolutely needs to, it's just not his favorite thing in the world.

As far as his awareness goes......he has been an analyst for the past 2+ years and I'm sure he's watched plenty of game film. He always had a great sense for the game and was a smart player. Deion didn't have the greatest technique, but his raw ability and football intelligence made up for his shortcomings in that area.
