Deion Sanders recalls the time he savagely snubbed the Giants at the 1989 combine

Has there ever been an athleteCarlos Hyde Authentic Jersey more confident than Deion Sanders? That was a rhetorical question. The answer is obviously no. The dude’s nickname was “prime time,” which remains the coolest nickname in sports history.
Anyway, here’s how confident a 22-year-old Sanders was: He told the New York Giants, who owned a top-10 pick in the 1989 http://www.authenticbillsstore.com/shop-by-players-lorenzo-alexande... NFL draft, that he didn’t have time for their games during a pre-draft meeting at the NFL combine.
We’ll let Deion tell the story…
Sanders was correct. The Atlanta Falcons took him with the fifth-overall pick, so taking that test would have been a complete waste a time. But who knows? Maybe the Giants are so impressed with the results, they trade up and take himhttp://www.authenticbroncosshop.com/shop-by-players-peyton-manning-... with a higher pick. New York did end up winning a Super Bowl two years later, so maybe Sanders is the one who missed out here.
