Is Deion Sanders a Hall Of Famer?
439015
No question...Dion may have been the best corner to ever have played the game. He gained so much respect from the opposing teams that at times entire games were played when there was not a pass attempted on his side of the field.

You're forgetting Emmitt Smith.  He'll be in the Hall for sure.

Certainly not. His numbers as a player are Hall of Fame worthy.

NO.Barry sanders is a legend. Bush will not be a legend.If bush is picked 1st round with the texans he wont be a legend. He wont make legend numbers until he is a free agent and signs with a team like the pats after his first 3 seasons. He isn't a durable every down type of back like sanders was.bush wont even hold a tourch to sanders end of story he wont even get rookie of the year due to the texans poor o-line

Deon Sanders, played for the atlanta braves and the falcons

Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, or Steve Young. They are probably the most highest rated quarterbacks in nfl history and in the hall of fame, except for Tom. He will be a first time ballot inductee! Oops.. I left out John Elway, sorry John!

If he wins Superbowl XL (or any in the future), hands-down Yes, Cowher in the HOF. If he never wins one, he'll retire as one the best to never put on the ring, but I think he still gets in. Two Superbowl trips, some AFC championships and countless trips and most of all (so rare these days), longevity.

This is the most stupid question i have herd on yahoo... u must be an idiot (which you are) not to realize he broke a record in touchdowns and he had the most yards for a running back in the nfl.. and he was one of the main reason why the seahawks went to the super bowl

Well Barry Sanders was assuring them on Cold Pizza that he wouldn't do it and he can't dance. How about Lynn Swann, let's see if he still has the moves. Sure he's getting older but come on he practiced ballet to improve his WR abilities when he played so I think he could still do it. I agree Deion Sanders would proably be another good choice. As to teh one saying Johnson I don't think so because it happens during the season and I think you'd have to go with retired players.

The hall of fame is for MLB players.  If O'Niel is in, then Josh Gibson is the HR king with over 900 hr's and Satchel Page is the best pitcher not Cy Young or Nolan Ryan.  But thank god those are not the rules.

Wow, I think your list is a little bit biased towards current players, but there's no way Moss is the greatest of all time.....in fact, not even close. You said of all-time, right?\n\n1. Jerry Rice. He is generally regarded as the greatest wide receiver in NFL history and arguably the greatest player of all time. Rice was selected to the Pro Bowl 13 times in his 20 NFL seasons. He won three Super Bowl rings as a member of the San Francisco 49ers and was the MVP of the '88 game. He holds 12 NFL records including:\n\nReceptions (1,549) \nReceiving yards (22,895) \nTouchdown receptions (197) \nAll-purpose yards (23,540) \nTouchdowns (208) \n\n2. Lance Alworth. Alworth is considered by many to be the best wide receiver in all of professional football during the 1960s\n\n3. Fred Biletnikoff. Biletnikoff was known as a sure-handed receiver who made clutch catches to keep crucial drives alive. He had an uncanny ability to get open, even when everyone in the stadium knew that the ball was coming his way. Biletnikoff's career total of 589 receptions is relatively unimpressive by today's standards, but it was a remarkable achievement in the more run-oriented 60s and 70s, when the regular season was only 14 games long. The same can be said of his record of 10 straight seasons with 40 or more receptions.\n\n4. Don Hutson. Hutson was the first receiver to catch more than 50 passes in a season (1941) and to surpass 1,000 receiving yards (1942). In all, Hutson caught 488 passes for 7991 yards. Hutson was the top receiver in the league in nine seasons and 99 career touchdowns.\n\n5. Terrell Owens. As much as I can't stand this guy, there's no denying his talent and ability. If he ever decides to shut up & play, look out. He needs to get a Super Bowl Ring to move up on my chart..as do the others.\n\nRegarding Lynn Swann. Probably the most acrobatic WR of all time, he just didn't play long enough or ever have a 1,000 yard season to rate higher in my book, but I'd put him in the top 10 just on his play in Super Bowl X  \n\nHarrison, All Stats, great attitude, disappears in big games. Lots of TDs, but more of a possession receiver, not a deep threat (only 13.3 yds/per reception).\n\nMoss? All Stats, no rings, lousy attitude. Can play...when he wants to...and he may play himself out of the league...\n\nOne final thing....stats mean nothing, without a RING!

Everyone though that Dan Marino's single season passing TD record would stand for decades until Peyton Manning took the title a couple years ago.  Records will fall at one point or another.  The career rushing record is no different.  \n\nEmmitt Smith ended his career with 18355 yards over 15 seasons (avg:  1223.7 yards/season)\n\nThat is an impressive total.  However, there are a few younger lions that could eclipse that mark within 15 seasons or sooner, depending on personal success and health.  The following players will show their current total, average, and projected estimated yardage after 15 years using their given average.\n\n1) Shaun Alexander:  6 seasons @ 7817 yards; 1302.82 yards / season; 19543 career yards\n2) LaDainian Tomlinson:  5 seasons @ 7316 yards; 1472.2 yards / season; 22083 career yards \n3) Curtis Martin:  11 seasons @ 14101 yards; 1281.9 yards / season; 19229 career yards \n4) Edgerrin James:  7 seasons @ 9226 yards; 1318 yards / season; 19770 career yards\n5) Clinton Portis:  4 seasons @ 5930 yards; 1482.5 yards / season; 22238 career yards\n\nJust using averages, Emmitt Smith's rushing record will not stand for long against runners like these guys.  There are also other notables who could sneak up and have huge seasons to give themselves a shot at the title like Larry Johnson, Rudi Johnson, Ronnie Brown, Carnell Williams, Domanick Davis, and so on.  \n\nIt will fall, and it will fall far down the rankings the longer football is played.

Walter Payton's last year in the league was 1987, truly disqualifying him from this question.\n\nAlso, if the question was from 1980, LT (Lawrence Taylor) would have to be on the list, but his 1st year in the league was 1981, which takes off 28 of his career sacks.\n\nI think you really have to look at as who has changed the game the most since 1985 and here are my top 6, in no particular order.\n\n1. John Elway\n2. Lawrence Taylor\n3. Deion Sanders\n4. Barry Sanders (sorry, Payton played too many years b4 1985, Marshall Faulk may be a better fit).\n5. Reggie White\n6. Jerry Rice\n\nIf you look at the NFL today, teams are still looking for these types of players at those specific positions: A QB that can lead, throw, and run; a LB that can blitz, tackle, and cover; a CB that can outrun anyone, intercept the ball, and play special team; a RB that can be the focal point of the running game and do all of the little things; a DE that just can't be stopped, but can stop the run and the pass; and a WR that could catch an anvil dropped off of the top of the Statue of Liberty, run tight routes, and beat the defender.

ladainian Tomlinson?! yeah right. It has to be Brett favre. The man is one of the greatest QBs in history. He should already be in the hall of fame but he hasn't retired yet. he has so many records and will go down in history somewhere in the top 10 best QBs ever list. I'm sorry but Ladainian has nothing on Brett Favre. In fact marshall faulk in his prime was way better than tomlinson ever was.

DEION SANDERS SCORED A TOUCHDOWN 6 DIFFERENT WAYS, KICK RETURN, PUNT RETURN, INT RETURN, RECEIVING, FUMBLE RECOVERY, AND RUSHING TD, MANY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE RUSHING TD, HE SCORED ON A REVERSE IN 1995 AGAINST THE EAGLES IN THE PLAYOFFS, IT DOESN'T SHOW ON NFL.COM OR ESPN.COM, (WHICH THEY HAVE BE NOTIFIED AND WILL BE FIXING THAT ERROR). BUT IT SAYS IT IN THE SUPERBOWL 30 PROGRAM, AND ON MANY OF HIS FOOTBALL CARDS. DEION WAS THE GREATEST AND MOST EXPLOSIVE PLAYER IN HIS ERA. AND WE WILL SEE HIM IN THE HALL OF FAME IN 2011.

Being a Indiana native/Hoosier. I sure hope he does go into the "Hall Of Fame".
