Today's trivia question, what three sports did Deion Sanders play in college? Now, growing up, most of us went to school and we were either the great athlete or you had a great athlete that was the best player in any sport they played, whether it was football, baseball, basketball, whatever they played, they excelled in and they were expected to be that alpha main person.
But usually, as you go higher in the ranks of sports, you have to decide, do I do this sport or this sport? And for most athletes...
We covered stories about Jim Thorpe, who played football, baseball, and track and field.
We covered Babe Dickerson Zendeja, who played basketball, golf, and track and field.

Bullet Bobby Hayes, who won two Olympic gold medals and at one point was the fastest man alive, which is a title given to the sprinter who holds the record for the 100-meter dash.
And later, he would go on to join the Dallas Cowboys and become a Hall of Fame receiver, being named to three Pro Bowls and two All Pros and winning a Super Bowl using his skill of speed and showing that he also had hands.

as well as being an all-star in major league baseball and then we come to our story today with dion sanders also known as prime time he grew up in florida and attended florida state where he was a three-sport athlete in football baseball and track and in his freshman year he was a starter on the football team, helped take the baseball team to being ranked fifth in the nation, and led the track and field team to a conference championship.
