Deion Sanders doesn’t even meet his own Hall of Fame requirements

Deion Sanders, the Atlanta Falcons fifth overall pick from the 1989 draft told Dan Patrick yesterday that the Hall of Fame was supposed to be selective and that they are letting too many people in. He questioned what a Hall of Fame player was and then set up criteria that even he would not have met.

“What is a Hall of Famer now? Is it a guy who played a long time?” Sanders said. “It’s so skewed now. Once upon a time, a Hall of Famer was a player who changed the darn game, who made you want to reach in your pocket and pay your admission to see that guy play.
