Champ Bailey, Darren Woodson, Rex Ryan and Jerry Glanville break out stories on how Prime Time influenced them and the NFL.

Todd Archer relates a story of how Darren Woodson realized the talent Deion Sanders had and the work Sanders was willing to put in to get better.

A lot of people would not throw to his side, same thing in the NFL. There were times he would entice someone to throw his way. I remember against, so Deion let him go by him on a post. The QB didn't throw it far enough and Deion picked it off. He had to entice balls to be thrown his way. He was always before his time.

Glanville also allowed Sanders to manage all the sideline and celebrity guest appearances, as well as pregame speeches, a practice that Sanders has continued as a head coach at Colorado. Guests of the Falcons back then included megawatt stars like MC Hammer and Evander Holyfield.Hell, they didn't want to know me. But Deion would say,"Is it OK if I get this guy? Is it OK if I have this guy?" I said,"Hey, do whatever you wanna do if it helps us win.

Although multiple 49ers teammates had to restructure their contracts to accommodate Sanders' salary, he immediately connected within the locker room. Offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan remembers his son and later 49ers head coach, Kyle, looking up to Sanders.Kyle was a ball boy for us -- he was probably in eighth grade.

After helping the San Francisco 49ers win Super Bowl XXIX, Deion Sanders joined the Dallas Cowboys in 1995 and won his second straight title in Super Bowl XXX. As a free agent who was the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year and fresh off of beating Dallas on the way to a San Francisco Super Bowl win, Sanders switched sides and signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Cowboys, making him the highest-paid defensive player in the league. He made his presence felt immediately.

Then after the game,"Mingo, you could've been the hero. Could've been the hero. Now I'm the dude giving up a touchdown." We bring it up all the time. That story stuck with me for so long because if I just stood there, it's . But that's Deion. Highly intelligent. High football IQ. Sanders' first retirement came in July 2021, when he was 33, because he didn't want to play for coach Marty Schottenheimer, who replaced Turner. Cornerbackdidn't get to play with Sanders since he was drafted that spring, but he practiced with the veteran, who already was guiding younger players.What blew me away, the first time I was in the meeting room and I'm looking at these guys and I'm like,"Why did they draft me?" Prime's got a recliner in there.
