Deion Sanders Always Dressed for Prime Time

Deion Sanders is well-known for lots of issues. Starring in football and baseball. Resuscitating the Jackson Point out Tigers and snapping up a new gig coaching the Colorado Buffaloes. Earning, in every feeling of the term, the nickname “Prime Time.” (Though these times he just goes by Mentor Key.)

But Sanders’ most significant contribution to the worlds of sports activities and model may be this quote: “If you glimpse fantastic, you truly feel good. If you come to feel very good, you engage in superior. If you perform very good, they pay out very good.” (These days he appends “If they fork out very good, you stay good” to the close.) If you can find a single string of sentences that clarifies the absolute revolution in athlete model which is taken area in excess of the final forty years—from gamers getting dressed to players *obtaining dressed—*it really is that one.

Which is why Deion Sanders is on the address of our February issue, and (together with fellow inductees Allen Iverson and Derek Jeter) a member of the inaugural course of the GQ Sports activities Design and style Hall of Fame—a new a way for us to honor the athletes whose affect extends far beyond the subject of play.
