He shouldn't when it comes to the Cowboys Ring of Honor- that should be reserved for 'grass-root " Cowboys that started-originated their careers as Cowboys players,..IMO.
Same as Haley.
But there's no question that when it comes to naming NFL cornerbacks - but like him or not, Deion Sanders is still the name that seems to register first and often,..
Not just flat shutdown man coverage, ..not just the INT numbers, ..but the often way he could lure and ' bait " the QB into thinking the WR is open and
then drive and close fast on the ball for a pick quick INT.
Deion, like Lawrence Taylor, is a once-in-a-generation player that you'll likely never see again for, oh, another 100 years.
The man was THAT good and, singlehandedly made the cornerback position the coveted position among every urban kid not big enough to play the line, linebacker, running back or quarterback.
Those kids used to want to play wide receiver. NOW, they want to play corner - all because of Deion.
