NIL deals at Power 5 schools are often just booster kickbacks, not real endorsements

Tell me what have you seen them [Power 5 recruits] endorse? ... How can you get a million dollars worth of endorsements for a kid at these power fives and nobody sees nothing? ... At least if you say you're going to do something, we got to at least see it. The NCAA should hold people accountable if they say they got a deal.

While NIL collectives often operate with less public commercial output than traditional endorsements, his claim that they are often 'kickbacks' is a widely held but difficult-to-verify industry perspective.

NFL Quarterback Ranking: Aaron Rodgers is #1, Mahomes #2, and Dak Prescott is #3

Number one, Tom Brady's retired... Aaron Rodgers is one. Mahomes is two. Dak is three. ... Four, I'm going to go with my guy from Buffalo, Josh Allen.

Player rankings are subjective, but placing Dak Prescott above Mahomes or Allen during this period was widely considered a reach by most NFL analysts.

Travis Hunter will not be the only five-star recruit to join an HBCU

I liked it as well stated. And I don't think he's [Travis Hunter] going to be by himself. I'm just telling you that he's not going to be alone. I promise you. He is not going to be alone. You're going to hear about that real soon.

While several high-profile recruits did follow Deion to Jackson State (like Kevin Coleman), the movement largely slowed down once Deion moved to Colorado, with Hunter also transferring there.

Gillie Da King could run a sub-5.0 second 40-yard dash

I think he could break a five-flat 40. I really do.

The claim hasn't been officially verified with a laser-timed 40.

The Raiders' defense is hot garbage

The Raiders' defense is hot garbage. I mean hot garbage. Hot garbage like straight out of the microwave. And you know that... Defensively, they ain't going nowhere with that bull jump, man.

The Raiders finished the 2020 season ranked 30th in points allowed and 25th in yards allowed.

I would have 'form tackled' Derrick Henry if we played against each other

I told him that had he and I played against each other, I would have formed tackled him... When I really told him that he would have never done me like Josh Norman. Because we would have never got in that situation.

This is a hypothetical matchup between players from different eras, but based on Deion's playing history, he was widely known for 'business decisions' rather than form tackling power backs.

If I were guarding Tyreek Hill one-on-one, he would have zero catches and zero yards

No, no, no. You can't even ask me that. I'm primed. He doesn't beat you deep. Tyreek Hill, zero catches, zero yards. I got three jackets in the closet, and I didn't buy either of them.

Impossible to verify, but fits the 'Prime' persona perfectly.

Carson Wentz is not the guy for the Eagles and they should move on.

This is not the guy... You can't just try to justify because you made a mistake and paid him a ton of money, which you're going to probably get out of that contract as soon as you can. But you've got to be able to establish that team... You've got to get away from that kid.

Wentz was benched for Jalen Hurts two weeks later and traded to the Colts in the offseason.

Chris Godwin is a Robin, not a Batman, in the Buccaneers' wide receiver room.

[Chris Godwin] is not a one. He's definitely not a one. He's a Robin. He's not Batman, but he's a Robin.

The Ravens are not a team that can throw the ball when expected to

These guys are not a one-dimensional team that can throw the ball when expected. They're not like that. The only way they're have success throwing the ball is the objective of run... and they didn't have that today.

This became the blueprint for beating the Ravens for several seasons until Lamar's MVP year under Todd Monken.

I would take Derek Carr over Justin Herbert or Drew Lock right now

Between those three quarterbacks... Derek Carr, Herbert and then Drew Lock. I'll take Carr because I know what I'm gonna get. I don't know what those other guys gonna do. I'll take Carr.

Herbert had an all-time great rookie season and immediately surpassed Carr in most experts' rankings within months.

The Patriots and Cowboys both need immediate players-only meetings

The Cowboys did that [players only meeting] last week, they should have broke the glass because it is a case of emergency, and the Patriots should be doing it Monday morning. They should be doing it tomorrow because somebody needs to stand up and talk and take control.

Both teams continued to struggle for the remainder of the season, suggesting the leadership issues were not easily fixed.

Trevor Lawrence will pull an Eli Manning and refuse to play for the Jets

I feel like Trevor Lawrence is going to pull a Elway in an Eli. Mmm-hmm and say I'm not doing that... It's something wrong with the organization. You can't have it. It's not too many. That's too many consecutive quarterbacks in the in a system that's bad. That's just bad... Ain't No Way in the world he's going to pull it. He like.

Trevor Lawrence did not refuse to play for anyone; however, the Jets won two games late in the season, losing the #1 pick to the Jaguars. Lawrence went to Jacksonville and the Jets took Zach Wilson at #2.

The Dallas Cowboys defense is ignorant and lacks passion

The Dallas Cowboys defense is ignorant is ignorant. ... it's the type of players that's out there that's putting his pathetic effort up. ... it's no want is no passion is no desire is no Playmakers.

The 2020 Cowboys defense was historically bad, setting a franchise record for points allowed.

The Eagles need to give Jalen Hurts a shot over Carson Wentz

Honestly, I would start looking to Jalen Hurts. I'm telling you don't think the guys in the locker room are not murmuring happening though. Somehow. I don't think they're not murmuring about. Amen. We may need to just give him a limited role and give him a shot because this is ridiculous.

Jalen Hurts eventually replaced Carson Wentz as the starter in Week 14 of that season.

Adam Gase is not built to be a head coach in New York

The head coach of a franchise in New York. He's not built like that man. Yeah, he's not built like that... I haven't seen anything from him that makes me think that the players [are with] him or that the players are playing for more that he's done anything to win that team over.

Adam Gase was fired at the end of the 2020 season after finishing 2-14.

NFL players who opt out of the 2020 season risk never playing in the league again

If you opt out, I just really want you to know there's a major possibility in chance that you may never play again... This is a business until business slaps us in the face.

While some stars returned without issue, many fringe players who opted out did struggle to find footing in the league again, as Deion predicted.

I could still play a limited role in the NFL or MLB today

I assume that if you put on the pads or grab the bat you could make a NFL or MLB team today. Do you think that that's true or am I maybe exaggerating your skills? [Deion]: That is true, but I would have to play a limited role... I could play nickel at a free safety and football and baseball I could pinch Runner.

Highly unlikely a 52-year-old could compete in the NFL or MLB, regardless of their hall-of-fame pedigree. It remains a hypothetical but is factually incredible.
