The man once known as “Prime Time” turned 53 years old on Sunday.
Former Falcons CB Deion Sanders was arguably the greatest defensive back in NFL history and one of the best athletes the league has ever seen. Drafted fifth overall by Atlanta in 1989, Sanders went on to win two Super Bowls, make eight Pro Bowls and be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
