Stephen A. makes the case for Deion Sanders as the greatest NFL player of all time | First Take 

This felt like a barbershop convo. Loving this energy lol

Stephen A been to too many ATL strip clubs. Every time he mentions the city he gets excited.

Stephen A won this one. Prime Time did so much for every team it was insane, and he dominated in everything he did. Changed every game he was in just by being on the field.

Deion Sander is unmatched as an athlete & human being he’s definitely going down as the greatest in my books

“Prime time is so prime time, they put the brotha on television on prime time” lol

I just heard somebody use cocaine as a positive in GOAT debate. This is the peak of sports

Probably for the first time in my 40 years I completely agree with Steven A 💯💯💯💯 primetime did it all

Dude when you knew Prime Time was playing, you structured your Sunday or Monday,accordingly. Same as MJ, Barry Sanders,Tyson...few transcendent greats...he was one.

if i see LT snortin crack on the sidelines before a game im tellin coach to bench me FOH

You see how much fun we can have without Molly?

Deion was sensational. Man has over 25 yards an interception. He runs 1/4th of the field after his interception. That is insane and he was an interception and pick six machine. And he would shut down your receivers but also outplay them on offense and make your corners look like hot garbage. His ability to run after a catch is second to none. The players on his team would actually give the ball to Deion after an interception because they all knew Deion would run away with it the same way he does after he caught those interceptions, passes, punts or kicks. Any ball that came through the air he caught it no matter which team it came from.

Stephen A definitely has a point, Deion was literally unstoppable in basically everything he did on the field!!

Deion is one of the best athletes evwr period... Guy can do anything

Another reason Primetime is the greatest... When another teammate would make an interception, they wouldn't run it back themselves, they would go find primetime, lateral back to him and let him run it back... Bruh... Ridiculous...

Bo Jackson is my favorite, most dynamic athlete I ever watched.

Primetime is the Michael Jordan, Roy Jones jr., Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson of football. I remember how impactful he was. That godly perfection.

Deion played defense and offense kickoff and punt return nobody did more for a football team

It Will Never Be Another Deion Sanders. I Agree.

Deion would walk into the Falcon's locker room in the middle of the season after playing baseball, and IMMEDIATELY change that team from crappy to terrific. I remember Jimmy Johnson saying this very thing. Never seen a player do that in such a team-centric sport as football. Brady could, if given enough time, but Deion was an instant PRESENCE. He brought a magic to every team he played for. Closest thing to a superhero you'll ever see in the NFL.

Stephen A sounds like a pastor 😂😂😂

Stephen A said: "Prime Time is so prime time, the brother is on television, they don't put him on anything else but Prime Time." What can you say after that?

Deion is one of two players in NFL history to score a touchdown six different ways (interception return, punt return, kickoff return, receiving, rushing and fumble recovery). The other is fellow Hall of Famer Bill Dudley. Again, the argument being that he could hurt you in any area of the game. Offenses just ignored his side for the most part. Deion gets my vote.

When you’re high stepping from the 50 and no ones coming close to catching you...yeah he just might be the best of all time. Oh and he was the key reason for multiple teams winning a Super Bowl as a corner back!

one of the best debates the show has ever had. I loved it. 😊

One of two players ever to score TDs 6 different ways 1) INT return 2) fumble return 3)kickoff return 4) punt return 5) receiving 6) rushing

I must say...deion played a nfl and pro basball game in the sameday...who has or will do that before,then, and moving forward

I couldn’t agree more I remember being a kid and crying when I got his football cards .. that’s how influential and prime time he was There will never be another prime

It Will Never be another Deion! Dude did everything! 🐐🐐🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥

I like her personality and energy better than Molly qerim good job ESPN good job

This was great for 2 reasons 1. Stephen A's stache is growing back 2. no molly

I'm ridin' with Stephen A. on this one. It's Prime and it aint even that close

I agree, love Deion Sanders

When Molly is gone the show is more Relaxed and is wayyyy more watchable

I heard marcus yelling from the other room and thought it was shannon Sharpe

Pats fan here . I agree with Steven A . I believe there’s a difference between the greatest legacy , and the greatest player ( talent wise ) . If we’re talking legacy which is usually what we refer to as the goat it’s of course tom . He’s top 5 talent wise too . Reading defenses , getting the ball out and timing and placement , clutch as Michael jordan and as accurate as anyone in the pocket with Time . Mahomes and rodgers accuracy on the run and extending plays i believe makes them more talented . But in terms of pure TALENT . Like overall rating like if this was a video game , nobody was better than Deion . Prime might be the greatest athlete in the history of Life lol I mean this man was different . He could lock down Jerry rice on defense , then return the following punt for 6 , get an interception, then go run a route as a receiver for a 75 yard touchdown and total 7 grabs for 128 yards and a td on offense. All on a Sunday then go hit a homer and steal a home run jumping the wall for the yanks on a Wednesday then go win a track race on a Friday lmfao I mean come on man .

Im a super casual fan of football so its interesting to hear you guys talk about players . That changed the game.

Lawrence Taylor would go to jail if he played in today’s NFL

“imagine being a quarterback and seeing LT doing coke on the sidelines” bruh that would be insane 🤣🤣🤣🤣 qb’s would see that in nightmares

Gotta go with Stephen A on this one!!! No disrespect to Taylor!! But prime time is PRIME TIME!! 💪🏽

"snorting that stuff!" Lol. I'll never forget LT saying. "Yeah, I did coke, but you have to understand.... It did NOT, affect, my play!" And dude said this straight faced lol. The addict ghost of my past couldn't keep from smirking at LT's belief in his own lie.

"Primetime is so primetime, the brother is on TV and he is only on PRIMETIME!" THE END!

Barry Sanders and Lawrence Taylor. Both those guys were on another level

Prime Time hands down the greatest football player ever. Nobody in football ever shutdown a whole side of the field based purely on talent and speed

Ros: I live in Atlanta... Steven A: Yes.....I know😂😂😂 Ros is absolutely gorgeous

The brother is so prime time that he's on television and they don't put him on any other time but prime time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's facts though

I agree with Stephen A. He does make very good points about Prime Time!

Two quick points: Deion played quarterback in high school. Also, his nickname "Prime Time" originated from his basketball exploits in high school.

If you didnt see LT play then you missed something special! LT was unbelievable. He's done something no other defensive player has ever done and thats won League MVP

This guy making wanna look up highlights of Deion .. hyped me up lol

This show is so much more entertaining when Molly isn't there to interrupt every 0.5 seconds...

LT changed the game forever.. left tackles are still so important to this day that fans fear if they don’t got a left tackle to protect there QB. enough said

Deon is he made team change up and he started going from one side to the other because they wouldn’t throw to his side.

For real though. The “all three phases of the game” argument definitely has merit to it.

No Molly!!!! Which means this was enjoyable to watch!!!!!!

Deion Sanders hands down the Greatest NFL player ever in history

I will say this....If you are selecting a 22 player team ( Offense and Defense) Primetime will be on it without a doubt!

Primetime could do it all. There’s never been a more complete player

1:53 Max out here laughin like the last boss in a video game after he just killed you

I love these conversations lol

I don't always agree with S.A.S. however, you're on the money with "Neon Deion Prime Time Sanders". My favorite NFL player of all time. Prime Time has a healthy fear of GOD! Love it...

I’m liking this video just because Molly’s gone! Have a good day!

I feel like ESPN are slowly trying to get rid of Molly by bringing in these different moderators from time to time...

Absolutely...one of the most gifted athletes ever...could do it all...both sides of the ball...

What swaggu was saying about lt you could say about Reggie white so that refutes his argument

I bout fell out my chair when he said "snortin' that stuuuuff!"🤣🤣🤣

Can this lady be permanent, instead of Molly?? Marcus spears, calm yourself

Deion Sanders & Bo Jackson are probably the greatest athletes for their versatility, but when anyone mentions Football Lawrence Taylor is always the first person that comes to mind Universally...

"SNORTING THAT STUFF" 😂😂😂 lmfaooo

Stephen A. just talked me into Deion being the G.O.A.T.

Stephen A's got a point wit primetime!

when buddy " snorting that stuff " I was out cold !😭😭😭😭

The arsenal that Steven A brings to every argument is pretty astounding. He slays.

“Some would argue that, that gets you high, before it gets you low.” 😂😭

ESPN finna get technicals with the amount of timeouts Steven A has called for

Deon Sanders also played an entire game. Offense special teams and defense . Pretty spectacular

He said snorting that stuff🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I about died....

Imagine Deion and Belichick on the same team

I highly agree with points from Stephen A. and Marcus Spears about Deion "Primetime" Sanders and Lawrence Taylor.

Yo SAS, as someone who watched football during this era. I would agree with you.

@5:15 I will have to correct SAS. When Deion went to Dallas, the 49ers still went into Big D and whopped up on the Cowboys, that's when Cowboys were at full strength and when the 9ers were starting Elvis Grbac. Dallas won it all that year because the 49ers couldn't get past the Packers, and the Packers couldn't figure out the Cowboys (like the 49ers figured them out).

He was such a gifted athlete.. hard to argue with everything he did since he did it all.

I love that last line by SAS...”Primetime is so Primetime, when they put the brother on television he’s only on Prime Time!” Classic

4:10 “SNORTING THAT STUFF” lmaoooooooo

One Gotta Go QBs: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Dan Marino One Gotta Go RBs: Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Ladanian Tomilson One Gotta Go WRs: Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Antonio Brown One Gotta Go TEds: Rob Gronkowski, Shannon Sharpe, Tony Gonzalez, Travis Kelce One Gotta Go LBs: Lawrence Taylor, Ray Lewis, Dick Butcus, Mike Singlitery One Gotta Go DEs: Reggie White, Michael Strahan JJ Watt, Julius Peppers One Gotta Go CBs: Deion Sanders, Charles Woodson, Darelle Green, Dick Lane One Gotta Go FS: Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott, Troy Polamalu, Brian Dawkins

LT was actually underrated in pass coverage despite being known to pass rush

I believe its a great argument. The greatest player should have been a superstar in ALL 3 phases of the game.

Amen brother!

I agree

Talent - Moss, Deion, B. Sanders, J. Brown (based on numbers, never saw him play full games), LT56 Longevity - Brady, Rice

NFL has prime time at #34 of all time players SMH 🤦🏾‍♂️ should be at least top 20 or 15

BIG FACTS 💯

Deion "PRIME TIME" Sanders is the GOAT! All I remember hearing is "Keep the cameras rolling" everytime he touched the field 🎥

L.T. was danm near unstoppable in Tecmo Bowl . He was lighting quick

4:13 Marcus Spears said “Guess what LT was doing when he was the best?” Stephen A. Smith “I’m scared to ask” lol

Thanks max that was great 👍🏿

I totally agree

I’ll allow it...Played all 3 phases...he primarily played defense & all his highlights are of him with the ball & scoring touchdowns 🤷🏾‍♂️

"When I was on the field he was just Day Time." - Jerry Rice

Prime time was a all purpose player did everything out on the field to 💯%

I freaking love this video hahahaha. Everything is memorable.
