GOAT or “Greatest of all-time” is an acronym that gets thrown around way too often. There are many in the Atlanta Falcons fan base that believe that Deion Sanders is the greatest Falcons player of all time and it is honestly time for that nonsense to stop.
- Biggest mouth in Atlanta Falcons history. Check.
- Flashiest player in Atlanta Falcons history. Check.
- Gleefully left the Atlanta Falcons in the onset of his prime. Check.
None of those three aspects qualifies Deion as the greatest player in Atlanta Falcons history. Matter of fact, giving that title to Deion Sanders, is a slap to the face of players like Mike Kenn, Jessie Tuggle, Steve Bartkowski, Tommy Nobis or Claude Humphrey.
