If showboating counted as a sport, Primetime would be even higher on this list. In all seriousness though, Deion Sanders was a baller.
Sanders was destined for stardom since high school. He was All-State in football, basketball and baseball. In 1985, he was named one of the top 33 high school football players in Florida history, and Florida as a state is pretty good at football.
At Florida State, he ditched basketball for track, but stuck with football and baseball. On the football field, he was a three-time All-American and won the Jim Thorpe award his senior year. In track, he led the team to a conference championship.
He was drafted in college by the New York Yankees and spent most of his MLB career with the Atlanta Braves. Sanders used his speed well, stealing 186 bases in his career. He’s the only player to ever hit a home run and score a touchdown in the same week.
Speaking of touchdowns, Sanders is one of only two players to score a touchdown six different ways: rushing, receiving, kick return, punt return, interception return and fumble return; talk about versatility. In his time in the NFL, Deion was voted to eight Pro Bowls, won Defensive Player of the Year, won two Super Bowls, and was eventually inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
