Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani Earns High Praise From Former Two-Way Star Deion Sanders

There are few athletes who’ve participated in sports over the vast history of the world as physically gifted as Deion Sanders.

The Florida native was arguably the best cornerback in the history of the NFL. He won two Super Bowl titles, made eight Pro Bowls, and was a six-time First Team All-Pro. For good measure, he then played parts of nine MLB seasons for five different franchises.

In one of those full seasons, Sanders hit .283 while stealing 38 bases. Another season saw him hit .304 with eight homers, 14 triples, and 26 stolen bases.
