Sanders First-Team All-Conference

Postby DanFreibergerForHeisman » Wed Dec 10, 2014 11:04 am

Deion Sanders, Jr. was named to the all-conference first-team by The American today as a return specialist.

Sanders is the only SMU player to make any of the teams or honorable mention.

Must be the Baseball All-Star Rule-someone from each team has to make the All-Star team. He wasn't one of the Top returners in stats

I never understand the message board digs at guys like deion and davis. Sure deion returned some kicks out to our own 10...he also returned some 60 yards.

Maybe just b/c of the sheer volume of opportunities?
Back off Warchild seriously.

Stats speak for themselves-he finished at 90th in the Country in Kickoff Returns among 113 eligible players. We scored 0 points on drives starting from inside our 20 or was it 25 yard line which often resulted from taking the ball out of the endzone

Thought he improved a ton this year. Good for him. Hope to see another jump next year with some very good coaching.

Perhaps when other coaches watched the blocking it was a miracle that he ever got past the 20? Just a thought... if it was a baseball thing, he would have been third team.
