As I recall he played football and baseball for a while, and was pretty good at both. Quite an athlete.
Yep. A trivia question. Who is the only person to hit a MLB home run and score a NFL touchdown in the same week? Of course, Deon Sanders.
He should NEVER have played football. He got beat up playing the game and this shortened his baseball career. You can play baseball for 20 years, make a pile o’ money, and retire with most of your body and marbles intact. Virtually no one can do that in football except MAYBE the kickers and they don’t get paid that much.
