Former NFL and MLB star Deion Sanders recently made moves that became news all over the internet. After coaching Jackson State University for three years, Sanders will now be the head coach for the Colorado Buffaloes. And as soon as the news broke, the NBA world seemed hyped over this move, including current and ex-NBA players as well. 

Nicknamed ‘Coach Prime,’ Deion Sanders not only played 14 seasons in the NFL but was also a baseball outfielder and played nine seasons in the MLB as well. Notably, he is the only athlete to play in a Super Bowl and a World Championship series.

Latest ‘Coach Prime’ move has people hyped

Sanders is also the only athlete to feature in two different sporting events on the same day. Clearly, Sanders was a beast of an athlete back in his day. After his playing career ended, Sanders worked as an analyst for a couple of years. 

After this, he took the role of offensive coordinator at his son’s school where he was from 2017 to 2020. He was then hired by Jackson State University, where he kept the team in the top two rankings during his coaching stint.
