Sanders is one of the best athletes in the history of American sports. He excels on the field as a cornerback and kick returner, but he is also successful off the field.

In nine MLB seasons with the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants, the Pro Football Hall of Famer collected 558 hits, 39 home runs, 168 RBI and 168 stolen bases.

During his time with the Braves, he simultaneously played with the Atlanta Falcons.

Sanders may be 56 years old and the head coach of a major Division I college football team, but the fiery fighting spirit has never faded.

It wouldn’t be at all surprising if Neon Deion stole the show and became the most talked about player in what is usually a fun and light-hearted event.

Owens, Finch and Martinez are potential MVP candidates of the game.
