I've heard that story told before but I think in some ways it discredits Deion, in addition to being a phenomenal athlete he was a HUGE student of the game. He studied WR's, offenses and offensive coaches so much he knew what they were going to do before they did. He didn't just take away one guy he took away an entire side of the field. Even when they tried to throw to a guy he wasn't covering Deion would come off his man and still make a play. There are some other guys that do that now but Prime was the first to do that.
