Darrell Green = Best redskin ever

Deion Sanders = Best cornerback ever to play the position. Just because you might not like him doesn't mean he was ever fat and lazy. Some people think that he might have even been faster than green. Deion, while I think he is a pompous asshat, was a damn good cornerback. His ONLY downside was his tackkling. I dont care about the dancing, rapping and arrogance, he backed up what he ran his mouth about.

(Although I will say that nothing that he ever did on the field came even close to the magic that was made in the studio when he made the best rap album of all time)

Sorry, but that's a pretty BIG part of playing any position on defense.

But Deion was known for avoiding tackles. It wasn't just that he tried and missed ala Hall, he just out and out shied away from them. He was a very good corner, and could shut his side down, I am not arguing that. Just don't say he was the best ever. He wasn't.

no i agree completely.. but my vivid memory isnt good enough to remember deion shying away from tackles but i believe it.. and no, not the best ever by any means.. pretty good not the best...

Not taking anything away from Sanders, he was great but Green was as good or better due to his size. I would say Champ Bailey gives Deion a run for the money.
