The sixth episode of the series is titled "Prime Time," and in typical "Coach Prime" fashion, Sanders had a few quotable moments in the eight-episode series.

"A real lockdown corner," said Sanders. "You don’t want to play around with that. The way I changed the game, that you were concerned about me, I wasn’t concerned about you."

"Because I run like a Lamborghini,” Sanders continued. ”I put pressure on people. Pressure ain’t on me, pressure is on them because you prepared and you studied.”

In his days as an NFL defensive back, Sanders made the First Team All-Pro in six seasons and won the AP Defensive Player of the Year in 1994. Sanders also made history with his MBL career, being the only athlete to ever compete in the World Series and the Super Bowl.

"I was it. . . . You know what the it is. It is it. It is that one ingredient that gives you the flavor, gives you the taste, gives you the understanding and the wisdom. It’s the purpose. It was it," said Sanders.

"Prime Time" started his career with the Atlanta Falcons before he won a Super Bowl with San Francisco. The next season, Sanders signed with the Cowboys as a free agent and won his second Super Bowl.

Inside Deion Sanders' Free Agency Decision

The episode on Sanders shows behind-the-scenes footage of him meeting with the Cowboys as a free agent, speaking to Jones and Aikman. According to those involved with the decision, some members of the Dallas front office and team had concerns about how a $35 million dollar contract for Sanders could impact the locker room.

However, Cowboys legendary receiver Michael Irvin did not seem worried.

"Jerry says, 'We can get Deion Sanders, but it's going to cost us. I wanted to hear your thoughts on it.' What do you mean you need my thoughts? You don't need to get my thoughts. The hell are you talking about? If we can get Deion, we get Deion," said Irvin when recalling a conversation between himself and Jones before the Cowboys signed Deion.

Jones also gave some insight into why he valued "Prime Time" at such a high level:

“Deion was an impact player,” Jones said in the series. “He could score from punt return, and kick-off returns. He could score as a receiver. Frankly, he created such an imbalance on defense because teams would go away from him.”
