"We’re comparing a monument to a moment”: Coach Prime has the perfect reaction to Tyreek Hill's bold 175 yards comment
Deion Sanders is widely considered one of the best cornerbacks the NFL has ever seen. However, Tyreek Hill seems to think otherwise.
To recap, Sanders, a former Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys player, won two Super Bowls, an NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, six First-Team All-Pro selections, two Second All-Pro selections and eight Pro Bowl selections, an impressive resume that led "Prime Time" to Pro Football Hall of Fame induction.
One has to be mighty confident to think they can go past a player like that in his prime. When recently asked how he would perform against Sanders at his best, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said:
"I'm putting 175 on Deion. Easy. 175 and two touchdowns."
In turn, when the Colorado coach was asked what he thought of the comment, he kept it simple but stark:
"We're comparing a monument to a moment."
Cormani McClain opens up about leaving Deion Sanders' Colorado
On April 16, former five-star recruit cornerback Cormani McClain decided to leave the Colorado Buffs and join the transfer portal. This was a blow for the Buffaloes, with McClain having been one of the most important recruits for the school last year. He's considered a four-star recruit by 247Sports.
Over the weekend, McClain talked about his decision in a video on YouTube. He said:
"I feel like I just don’t want to play for clicks. I actually want to be involved with a great leading program that’s going to develop players... (I want to) change the narrative surrounding my name and be a part of a real and great program that’s going to impact me to the best of my ability."
Colorado coach Deion Sanders fired back at his former player's comment, saying in a radio interview:
"I’m always in prayer for our young men, and I want the best for them, I pray to God that he goes to a program that challenges him, as well as hold him accountable and develop him as a young man...
"Unfortunately, we weren’t the program that could accomplish that, so preferably he understands that this is the second go-round and get it – go get it, man, because he has a tremendous amount of talent. But he has to want it."
Is Cormani McClain right? Do the Buffs play for clicks?
