The term 'Lock Down Corner' is overused, but it was very appropriate for Primetime. He is a Hall of Famer, 2x Super Bowl Champion, made 9 consecutive 1st Team All-Pro as a Cornerback (1991-99) and also made All-Pro as a kick and punt returner in separate seasons, he also made eight Pro Bowls and was the 1994 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Post-career he's also been huge in the media and helped grow NFL Network over the past 14 years. When it came out he was leaving Adam Schefter tweeted about it.
