Deion Sanders has slowly become infamous after he made his move to Colorado. Coach Prime had already become famous when he led his HBCU Jackson State to some groundbreaking victories. However, his move from Jackson to Colorado went on to earn him a lot of mixed opinions from fans, analysts, and other prominent personalities. To make matters even more complicated, Sanders had some interesting announcements for the existing members of the program that earned him a lot of flak. However, not all were against him.
Sanders received some staunch support from Shaquille O’Neal. Even when Sanders went on to make a dynamic speech in front of his new players, Shaq supported him online. Even recently, Shaq has been a pillar of support for ex-Dallas Cowboys cornerback. Interestingly, Shaq’s recent display of endorsement came right in the middle of a feud between Coach Prime and one of his rivals.
