From 1989 to 2005, Coach Prime Deion Sanders had a lucrative playing career for both the NFL and MLB. He won two Super Bowls in his 14 seasons with various NFL teams, including the Atlanta FalconsSan Francisco 49ersDallas CowboysWashington Redskins, and Baltimore Ravens. However, the 8x Pro Bowler endured a splitting remark from the Miami Dolphins WR. 

Tyreek Hill was full of confidence when he declared his superiority over Deion Sanders. In response to an interesting comparison question, the Cheetah’s belief in himself put Coach Prime under the bus when he talked about going one-on-one.

When he was asked on YouTube on MILLION DOLLAZ WORTH OF GAME if he put 100 yards on Coach Prime during their prime time, he replied, “I’m putting 175 on Deion… They played a lot of man-to-man back in the day. Generations have changed and receivers have changed.” Hill also blew his trumpet, saying, “I’m 5’9, 197. I’m quicker, more agile. I can move a whole lot quick twitch, I can catch screens so it’s a whole lot that goes into a game.”

Tyreek Hill isn’t nicknamed the Cheetah for no reason. Although a self-proclaimed nickname, the 30-year-old lives up to the reputation of one of the fastest players in the league. He spent his initial six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, averaging 1,105 receiving yards and 9.3 receiving TDs per season. He broke the team’s record with 1,479 receiving yards per season and 111 receptions per season in 2018 and 2021, respectively. Even after being traded to the Dolphins, he showed off his abilities by achieving a career-high 119 receptions and 1,710 receiving yards in his rookie season, a franchise record. But Coach Prime has something clever to counter the insult.

After Hill declared that he could put “175 and two touchdowns” on Deion, Coach Prime appeared to shut him down. He simply said, “We’re comparing a monument to a moment.” While the retort may sting, Hill still strongly supports Deion Sanders. 

After allowing his sons, Shilo Sanders and Shedeur Sanders, to take on recruiting responsibilities, Coach Prime faces criticism. But Hill is adamant about the innovative approach and says, “How is it unserious? They just don’t follow rules like these other boring programs.” In addition, he also backs Coach Prime’s confidence in his Shedeur and Travis Hunter entering the 2025 NFL Draft, saying that they will be in the Top 5.
