Deion Sanders played for five different teams during his his 14-year Hall of Fame career. But he’s perhaps best remembered as a Cowboy.
Sanders arrived in Dallas as a high-priced free agent in 1995, and immediately became the Cowboys’ newest star. He earned three first-team All-Pro selections and made four Pro Bowls in his five years with Dallas, helping the team win Super Bowl XXX over the Steelers. That remains the most recent championship for the franchise, which has yet to advance past the divisional round since.
Ahead of Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Ariz., Sanders sat down with Sports Illustrated to recount his playing days, and shared his favorite story about Cowboys owner, president and general manager Jerry Jones.
