Deion Sanders

Description: (Former American Football Player, Coach and Only Athlete to Play in Both 'Super Bowl' and 'World Series')

Deion Sanders is a retired American sportsman who played both football and baseball simultaneously at the professional level. He holds the honor of being the only sportsman to have ever participated in both the ‘World Series’ and the ‘Super Bowl.’ While at college, he used to play three sports—football, basketball, and baseball—and was an all-state honoree in all three sports. In 1989, he turned professional in two of the three sports, football, and baseball. He was drafted by the ‘Atlanta Falcons’ in the NFL draft. Shortly afterward, he also signed a contract to play baseball with the ‘New York Yankees.’ Simultaneously, he played for both teams and became the first-ever sportsman to hit a major league home run and achieve a touchdown within a week’s time. He retired as a player and founded the ‘Prime Prep Academy Charter School’ where he coached until 2015 when the school was shut down due to financial insolvency. Currently, he works as an NFL Network analyst and is the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes.
