Deion Sanders' advice for Tre' White


HOUSE

Tre’Davious White is about to enter his third year in the NFL. After a stellar rookie season in 2017, some thought he may have taken a step back this past year. White finally got an answer to a question on how can he be more consistent and he asked one of the greatest cornerbacks in NFL history for the answer.

“What does it take to take your game to the next level, year in and year out and keep that production consistent,” White asked.

Don’t ever get full, make sure your plate is always empty,” Deion Sanders said. “Don’t ever get full. Don’t ever look in the rearview mirror or look ahead, look at the present right there before you. Study. Know your opponents, know the offensive coordinators that you’re playing against. These guys they change names, they change games. But mainly those offensive coordinators stay the same. But mainly, get your legs in shape that is your money. Make sure they’re strong so you can bump at kickoff and late in the fourth. Lastly, do not miss opportunities.”

What other magical advice should he have given? Study your opponent and the OC, what more advice should he have given?

How to play an inside technique better?  How to use your hands without getting PI called?  I am not saying these are what he needs but examples of what could have been said if he had studied Tre's film and found areas of improvement.  It is obvious he did not and thus had to generalize.

Granted, it may seem like obvious advice, but the fact is there are players who get lazy, who don't dedicate themselves to film work and taking care of their bodies.  Anyone want to see Buffalo re-sign Kelvin Benjamin?

Avoid tackling at all costs!

 

I was afraid that’d be his advice to young corners again: Extend your careers - don’t tackle.  How many CBs have been good enough to get away with that like he could?

Exactly.  I bet there are a lot of CBs (and players in general) who don't follow this advice.

There's no denying the talent and physical skills of Deion Sanders.  However, I lost all respect for him during this game.

Atl 13:54 Drew Hill 1 pass from Wade Wilson (Norm Johnson Kick) 14 41

 

Deion Sanders returns a lateral from a Steve Christie squib kickoff for a TD right before halftime to give Atlanta their first points of the game.  The Falcons were having their butts handed to them by us at that point in the game but he does his little 'vogue strut' to the end zone as he runs by the final Bills player (Steve Christie) for the score.  I don't know why but it just reeked of 'Look at me, look at me!' and as such, I found it quite selfish and annoying.  You can watch it in all its nauseating glory at the 4:31 mark in the video below.

On extra points - start walking off the field prior to the kick.  Hissy punch other players.  Throw water on the head of the baseball announcer.  Oh.  And stay classy!

Seems kinda generic advice.

Simple advice is often times the best advice. Tre White is already a professional football player.  He's already had success.  He already knows techniques, etc.  Mindset can take players to the next level.  Prime spoke of mindset.  Read between the lines.  "Product knowledge" takes time.  It's not acquired quickly.  What has to be sacrificed in order to study opponents in-depth or offensive coordinators?  What has to be sacrificed in order to maintain physical ability.  Like film study, maximizing one's physique takes focus.  If you're plate is always empty you're always working.

Despite the enormity of the Falcons getting waxed, he does this.

Does anyone have that video from the late 80s where Don Beebe is returning a punt going full speed racing towards the endzone and Deion runs him down?

Same game he ran down Thurman and Kenneth Davis from the other side of the field. I think it was 93.
