Well, at least the Titans' All Pro safety got the clarification he was looking for. If the question is "how do you make this statement and not include the two First Team AP All Pro safeties?" then the answer is to judge only by name, familiarity, and past accomplishments in defending your hyperbolic statement as fact despite it showing an insane amount of ignorance towards the topic you're discussing. It may have been a rhetorical question at first, but the answer somehow became all-too-necessary. The metrics by which recently released Tyrann Mathieu is still the best safety in the game? Friendship, loyalty, and - last but not least - gasbaggery! Deion Sanders actually went so far above and beyond in proving Kevin Byard's point for him that I'd be inclined to think he did so intentionally to bring attention to Kevin Byard's outstanding season. It's just tough to believe that someone whose job is to stay up to date with the NFL could remain so self-righteous in his patently false claim....until you realize the "analyst" in question still unironically refers to himself as 'Primetime'. Then the idea that his ego led him unarmed into what quickly became the most lop-sided battle of sports knowledge that the internet has ever seen becomes a bit more understandable. Going the "I played the game" route is already a sure sign that your running low on ammo, but doing so with someone who currently plays the game at the absolute highest level is like firing your one bullet while holding the gun backwards. Deion Sanders tried to talk down to a "fan", and - in the process - actually made it seem like he could be found waiting outside Texans' training camp with a Sharpie in hand and a Tyrann Mathieu's #1 Fan hat perched atop his head. It's a good thing Deion Sanders role at NFL Network is predicated on his ability to make up for a lack of information and insight with an abundance of volume and self-important bullshit, or not even recognizing the name of one of the best defensive backs in the league he "covers" would be a fireable offense.
