Michael Irvin vs Deion Sanders 1987 WR vs CB Highlights

87 Canes vs FSU Irvin vs Col Sanders or Ned Flanders

[@stephenbrown3853]

63 future NFL players saw the field in this game. 63!!! That’s more talent than has ever been together in one game, or probably ever will be. That’s why the FSU-Miami rivalry in the 80’s and 90’s is STILL the rivalry all other rivalries want to be.

[@Yobachi2007]

They should have just had Deion follow Irving. They didn't really do that in those days, especially not in college. They just had you play your zone, or the man across from you on your side of the field. It was some kind of philosophy about not highlighting the individual, and we're just going to play our game.

[@ericlacy2945]

Everybody with those Brian Mitchell shoulder pads is wild

[@GetToughOrDie]

Dion Sanders TACKLING SOMEONE like he was taught how to is something I've never seen before! Those bigger shoulder pads must be what it is!!

[@Yobachi2007]

This is the comment I was coming to make. I'm like what is this, Deion Sanders making big hits! In the NFL he just made a business decision. He tackled, but he wasn't smashing into people. He'd let you run slightly by him on purpose and grab your legs so he wouldn't have to take the runner on. I guess that started when he got to the league, cause that's when I started watching him, his rookie year.

[@joebuck4496]

One rookie contract is enough to be set for life!! It’s enough money to say to yourself “F tackling a fullback head on” lol

[@michaelsteding7720]

I hate the Florida powerhouses too, but I like it when at least 1 of them are good. Same reason as you, I think CFB is better one of the powerhouses are good.

Marcus Watson they were talking about the ‘94 nfc championship game. Dallas was down and Irvin single handily brought them back ending up having like 200+ yards with Deion covering him. But this game was the same thing. Irvin was that kind of player he was a leader who was about winning. If coop was half the man he was you don’t allow someone to limit u to 2 targets.

Marcus Watson and that’s coming from a giants fan lol. Irvin is my all time favorite player

Wish I could have seen guys like that play. I spend more time watching old highlights then I do watching some games now. Though their is still a lot of good football for sure. The wide receivers and RB were just so good 10+ years ago.
