From an article about Deion Sanders: The Next Generation dropping in the draft, we get:
And now for the reason America turns to National Review: sports commentary. Yes, I’ll admit I’m a rank amateur when it comes to the world of college football or the NFL Draft and only casually familiar with the professional product itself — I’m a baseball guy at heart.
* * * * For those unaware: Shedeur Sanders is the son of ex-football star Deion Sanders, former NFL Hall of Fame great. “Neon Deion” looms largest in my childhood Washington, D.C.-area memory as the guy who signed a seven-year deal with the Redskins back in 2000 and retired completely after year one rather than play a day more for the Redskins.
A baseball guy who one would presume is under thirty (he’s not) for not remembering that Deion Sanders also played major league baseball for a number of teams and is the only player to appear both in the World Series and Superbowl.
Not really germane to the article, but I wanted you to remember, gentle reader, that I read Deion Sanders * Brett Favre thirteen years ago.
