Deion Sanders completely embarrassed himself on Twitter Tuesday during an exchange with Kevin Byard.
Sanders apparently had praised the Houston Texans’ signing of Tyrann Mathieu, terming the Honey Badger the best safety in football.
Byard, who was a first-team All-Pro safety last season with the Titans, was incredulous and responded. He asked Sanders how he could omit the two All-Pro safeties — himself and Harrison Smith.
Sanders then responded by essentially dismissing Byard, calling him a “fan.” It was pretty clear Sanders did not even know who Byard is.
Byard responded to Sanders and had to inform him he’s a current player.
This just shows how little attention Sanders is paying. Byars led the league in interceptions last season with eight and had 87 total tackles, and Sanders didn’t even recognize his name. But of course, as this story from 2011 should have told you, Sanders isn’t much of an analyst anyhow.
