In August, PrimeTime will be memorialized and welcomed into the HOF, and profootballhof.com announces that Sanders has sent along a helmet he wore with the Falcons and a football Sanders ran back for a 79-yard touchdown on a punt against the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 28, 1990. That punt return remains a Falcons record today.
"We're so pleased that Deion has sent his helmet and football," Jason Aikens, the Hall of Fame's Collections Curator, told profootballhof.com. "It's a great way for fans visiting the Hall of Fame to connect to his great career."
