You might love or hate the Buffs. But there’s one thing that even the haters vibe with is support running strong in Deion Sanders’ extended fam. While Coach Prime hardly misses a chance to shower his players with praise, it’s his son Deion Sanders Jr. who beats Papa Prime in the hype game. Well, Bucky has always been behind the camera, capturing priceless moments of the players. But it’s high time this narrative flips. And Deion Jr. should be in the limelight for once. Why so? Some of his best-shot moments got tagged as “Emmy” material by a fan. Isn’t it a huge praise? While Bucky tries to stay humble, it’s time for him to get back his lost pride from Coach Prime, who once doubted his skills.

October 25 has been a good day indeed for Deion Jr. After all, often he, along with the other Buffs, wakes up to hate comments either about Coach Prime or any other player. For a change, a Colorado fan made Bucky’s day as he tweeted,  “@DeionSandersJr bruh that shot of the wester brothers praying before the game should win you an emmy, I know the older brother in you felt that.” Often tagged as haughty, the Well Off Media tycoon retweeted the fan reaction and topped it up with a modest response, “100%.  & I wish… I don’t think my style classifies as “Emmy Material.” But what’s the hoopla all about?

Being a brother himself with both Shedeur and Shilo on the team, Bucky knows how good it feels to see his bros soar high. Well, the Buffs fam really got lucky as they now have another brother duo other than the Sanders; it’s the Wester brothers—LaJohntay and Jaylen. On October 21, as usual, Deion Jr. was lucky enough to be at the right moment at the right time. Handed with his greatest tool, his camera, he let out his creative spirit and captured the special pre-game moment.

The Wester brothers knelt down, locked each other hands, and prayed together before the Arizona kickoff. LaJohntay, being the older brother, hyped-up younger brother Jaylen with the last-minute pep talk, “Take advantage of the opportunity. Have fun. I love you.” The bros then ended it with a sweet embrace. Deion Sanders Jr. waited till the last minute to capture the priceless moment and posted from the Well Off Forever account with the caption, “God is the greatest @been21one @lajohntayw.” No matter whether he lands an Emmy or not, he at least made his father proud, who had once scorned Bucky for taking his love for videography too far.

Deion Sanders Jr.’s prank called out by Papa Prime

Back in July, the Sanders were away to attend Deion’s daughter Deiondra’s engagement to R&B King Jacquees. Everyone was part of the trip, except Coach Prime, who skipped to go fishing. But poor Deion! He missed out on the family drama. The Sanders seemed to be tired on their way back. And Shedeur passed out on the flight. How could Deion Jr. just let go of the golden opportunity?

He brought out his camera and captured the Buffs QB slacking with his mouth wide open. Not just this, Bucky, being the elder brother, to further embarrass Shedeur, posted the clip on social media. However, their grandmom Momma Connie did not appreciate her eldest grandson’s prank on her younger brother. And naturally, how could Papa Prime be okay with the fact?

Deion Sanders then called out Deion Sanders Jr. for taking the fun too far. He wrote on X, “BUCKY ain’t right. @mommaconnie21 looking like she ready to Cuss Somebody Out.” Looks like Coach Prime took the protection game too seriously. Finally, the father of five can let out a sigh of relief knowing that Bucky is no longer fooling around with his camera.
