Deion Sanders gets a luxury watch—Is this a fitting tribute to his impact on college football?

Who doesn’t love to receive gifts? Fans got excited about Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders on the receiving end, even more than Coach Prime himself. As captured by Well Off Media on August 13, Deion slipped into his tent for a quick rest when a CU staff member stepped in. He had a white-colored gift wrap in his hand. The sight was enough to kick off all his weariness. And when he laid his hands inside the box, his enthusiasm seemed to have no bounds. After all, Deion is now the proud owner of the exquisite timepiece from Rolex, the $11 billion powerhouse. The Buffs HC is one lucky man, as a few days back, he got a $76,000 Audemars Piguet watch as a gift.

It was a random day for Deion, who was on the field guiding players to put up their best version before the 2024 season. The Buffs HC hardly expected that he would receive a grand surprise. Deion Sanders Jr. ensured that his father’s reaction was captured when he received the token of love as Deion confessed that unwrapping gifts sounds rare to him, “Contrary to what you think, I’m really not a great recipient of gifts. God has called me to be the giver not the taker.” So, this makes him a little conscious.

But his unease lasted only a second and vanished as soon as the white gift wrap unveiled a green box. It was a Rolex watch that left Deion going, “My god…good Lord oh we got a rolling.” Wondering who gifted Coach Prime the exquisite timepiece? It’s none other than his trusted adviser, Constance Schwartz-Morini. On opening the gift, Deion wasted no time sharing his gratitude and went, “Thank you, Constance. Love you. You’ve been so good to be in the family, you are a blessing.” And getting all charged up, Coach Prime came up with an assurance, “This will make a game appearance, I promise you!” Does this mean this gift is dearer to his heart than the one his son, Shedeur, gave?

Shedeur’s precious gift for Deion’s 57th birthday

Deion turned 57 on August 9. This was enough for Shedeur Sanders to plan the perfect gift for Papa Prime. And guess what? The Buffs QB could not wait for the special day. And the birthday gift arrived early for the Buffs HC. As captured by Well Off Media, the father of five was handed a green box. The luxurious present was unwrapped and identified as a Royal Oak Self-winding Chronograph.

According to Audemars Piguet’s official site, the exquisite piece is valued at $76,730. Shedeur, himself an ardent fan of luxury watches, thought of drawing his father into the fan club, too. And it’s not a big deal for the Buffs quarterback, valued at $4.7 million in NIL, the highest in the country.

Now that Deion is the proud owner of two exquisite watches, it’s now to be seen how he channels them with his look as the FCS powerhouse North Dakota State faces the Buffs on August 29 at the Folsom Field. Let’s see what turns out to be lucky, Shedeur’s gift or Constance’s present.
