The voters' panel thing listed "Primetime" Deion Sanders as #34 on the 100 greatest players. On NFL Total Access (NFL Network's main show), Deion was ranting about how he should've been higher on the list. Do you agree with this or not? If the 100 greatest players in NFL history were lined up, would you really put Deion at #34 or would you have him higher or lower?

To me, he can stay right where he's at. And move a certain Rod Woodson up from #41, ahead of Deion and his cocky ego.

Where do you rank Deion Sanders on your top 100 players of all-time?

I'd put him a bit higher, but then again I have only been watching football for 25 years so I can't really give a fair assessment to all of the guys who played before him.

Same here. I still feel like Rod Woodson was a more complete defensive back though and I would have him higher than Deion. I don't know about all those "old school" cornerbacks. Guys like Mel Blount, Night Train Lane, and all of them.

I'd say he's top 25, but not much higher than that.

Tough call. No Doubt Woodson was the better tackler, but Deion made magic happen anytime he touched the ball. I see this as very similar to the TO vs Moss Debate, there are ways Deion affected the game that I just don't think Woodson did. They both won their D-NFLPofY awards in back to back seasons... If you threw it near either guy it was probably getting picked, if you threw it at Deion though, it was probably getting picked, and returned for 6. I think a lot of that perception had to do with Deion being able to play both ways.

To me it would depend on the style of defense I was running, but IMO I would have taken Deion over Woodson on the field.

I laughed when he said he never shied away from contact. I have the 1991 Chargers highlight film and there's a great clip of him basically running away from Marion Butts as Butts was dragging guys down the field.

Sanders was the most dominant cover corner in his generation. He was also a great pr and kr. I don't know if he should be higher but few dbs should be higher than Sanders.

Mel Blount
Dick Nighttrane Lane
Ronnie Lott
Mike Haynes
