No, you said he shouldn't be higher on the all time list. I haven't seen said list but ANY list of top DB's have to have Sanders on the list or that list is shit. I said Deion wasn't paid to tackle much. He was paid to cover and that's what he did very well.
How many other DBs are on that list? How many DBs have won defensive player of the year? Ed Reed, Mel Blount, Rod Woodson, Mike Haynes, Charles Woodson and Deion.
How many of these guys also scored TDs on punts, kickoffs, RUNNING THE BALL and receiving as a WR? Plus he played baseball part time. I could easily make a case that he was the best at the position. But I could also make a case for Kenny Houston as well. My father in law played with him. I never knew how bad ass he was until I researched it. He had 5 interceptions for TDs in one year and made the pro bowl 12 years in a row, all records for DBs.
