Athletes with Killer Instincts Since 1990: No. 6



6. Deion "Prime Time" Sanders

This cocky, dual sport athlete was one of the greatest pure athletes of all-time, along with greats like Bo Jackson.  Reports indicate that Sanders ran a mid 4.2 40 yard dash too, which is freakishly fast. The 8x Pro Bowler, 2x NFC Defensive Player of the Year, and 2x Super Bowl Champion was certainly one of the cockiest athletes of his era, but he certainly defended his words with impressive action. Given that he played in team sports, he may not have dominated individually to the extent that someone like Roger Federer did, but Sanders definitely had a killer instinct that made him arguably the most feared corner and return specialist in the game.
