Twitter: Deion? Seriously?

[erod]

Deion is far more a Falcon than he is a 49er, Cowboy, Commander, or Raven. Of all the great Cowboys, this is who they chose?

Don't pin this scumbag on our team. This feels intentional.

And he's not the only strange choice.

Poor choice to represent America's Team.

Yeah, I said the same thing when I saw this on IG. Why would they choose Deion? I would of been OK with our current #21, Zeke.

 

[Bowdown27]

I laughed to myself. That’s who they choose ??? lol good stuff nfl

 

[ultron]

My choice would be Emmitt

Roger, Enmitt, Troy, Witten, Irvin, Dorsett, Lilly.....?

50 guys would have made more sense than this journeyman blowhard.

Deion left Atlanta to go to their hated rival, then left San Fran to go to their hated rival, then left Dallas to go to their hated rival, then left Washington to go to their cross-town rival.

Then he started a fraudulent school to try and lure athletes. Then the whole Dez thing. And a hundred other irritating douchy moments.

He is NOT a Cowboy.

Should have been Staubach.

Odd, to say the least. So many players past and present to pick, and they pick a mercenary.

Vick for the Falcons is lame. Deion was hired help in Dallas for a short period of time and does not represent the franchise.

NFL.com likes clickbait too.

I do not think it would be difficult arguing Sanders would better represent Atlanta than Michael Vick. And I would bet a good percentage of Falcons' fans would agree.

I agree. Which is why I'm confused as to why choose that #21 over our current #21, even though Zeke isn't a Cowboy legend yet.

I would insert Ryan, Rison, Julio Jones and Morten Anderson beneath Sanders and above Vick.

# 22 then # 12 # 8 or # 74 # 88(Pearson-Irvin) # 54 # 33..... Dion ????? lol....

Roger should always and forever be the one guy to represent the Cowboys.

 

[jjtrcka22]

Is that the Boz in the bottom right representing the seahawks?

 

[StuckMojo]

Should have been Staubach.

That's what i think or Emmitt since he is the all time leading rusher.

 

[DallasEast]

I would pay good money seeing Donovan McNabb's reaction after seeing Randal Cunningham represent the Eagles.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Weird list... it’s mostly consistent with all-time greats, but then it goes out the window with some choices.

Strangely enough Deion is a defensible choice as the greatest player (historically in the NFL) to ever wear the Star for the majority of their career. But they could have just stuck him on the Falcons.

 

[erod]

I agree. Which is why I'm confused as to why choose that #21 over our current #21, even though Zeke isn't a Cowboy legend yet.

And what Brian Bosworth and Alvin Kamara?

Were Largent, Easley, and Wilson off the table? Brees, Archie, and Ricky Jackson?

Definitely clickbait choices were embedded among worthy examples for each franchise. Obviously era was not an exclusive criteria when they selected Jim Brown for the Browns. Forget some young current fans for a moment. I would wager there are some pups playing in the NFL right now who do not recognize Jim Brown.
