Deion Sanders was quite appropriately known as Prime Time. The legendary NFL DB is still one of the greatest to brace the sport of football. While on the side, Sanders has a budding affair with baseball as well. Alongside the NFL, the Neon Deion was also playing in the MLB after coming out of college. Meanwhile, he made his name playing football, he has quite a career in MLB too. Other than these two sports, in college, he was also an active athlete when it came to track and field sports. But now the player has revealed the toughest and the easiest sports from his portfolio.

The former NFL DB recently appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast, Club Shay Shay. Talking to the retired TE, Sanders obliged the curiosity of Sharpe by telling him the toughest and easiest he played. Let’s just say the answer wasn’t what Shannon would have been expecting.

According to Prime Time, football was the easiest sport he played in his life, even though he achieved everything in the sport. To the surprise of many, Sanders’ picked baseball as the most challenging sport. “That ball (baseball) does some things to you. Any sport that you can fail at 7 out of 10 times and become great.
