Deion Sanders is a Hall of Fame cornerback who will always be known as one of the greatest athletes of all time. What he did in the NFL and in MLB, all at the same, was incredible.

So when he sat down with Sports Illustrated on Radio Row at the Super Bowl on Thursday we had to ask him if he would be able to lock down any of today's star wide receivers - like Minnesota's Justin Jefferson - if he faced them.

Deion gave us a perfect Deion Sanders answer, saying, "You can't do that to these guys because you comparing a monument to a moment."

Allow him to explain that one in the video above.
