Deion Sanders recently addressed the debate surrounding the NFL’s fastest player after Tyreek Hill’s bold remarks.
Sanders thinks Darrell Green was faster than Tyreek Hill
During an appearance on the “Million $ Worth of Game” podcast, Coach Prime, known for his quick wit and confidence, was asked to respond to Hill’s claim that he could outplay Sanders in his prime.
When directly asked about Hill’s statement, Sanders offered a memorable analogy: “We’re comparing a monument to a moment.”
This response clearly placed Sanders in the camp of traditional legends rather than contemporary stars.
The exchange highlighted Sanders’ preference for past greats, particularly evident in his recent social media post.
On Sunday, Sanders took to social media to share a photo with Darrell Green, another Hall of Famer widely regarded as one of the fastest players in NFL history.
Sanders’ caption read, “The Fastest Man Ever in the @NFL,” reinforcing his belief in Green’s status over Hill.
This public nod to Green was a clear indication of Sanders’ stance on the speed debate, sidelining Hill’s claims with little hesitation.
Tyreek Hill made history as top pick in NFL 100
Meanwhile, Tyreek Hill has recently made headlines as the NFL’s top player of the upcoming season, according to the league’s annual top 100 list.
This ranking, based on votes from fellow NFL players, marks the first time a wide receiver has topped the list.
Hill’s outstanding performance last season, including leading the league with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns, has earned him this high regard.
Despite Hill’s impressive stats, some argue that Patrick Mahomes, ranked fourth on the list, had a more substantial impact with his performance and leadership, including leading the Kansas City Chiefs to two consecutive Super Bowl victories.
The ongoing debate highlights the differing opinions on player impact and legacy within the league.
