Long before Deion Sanders took up his first coaching job in 2012, he was a pro football player for five different NFL teams. In 1995, he even solidified his relationship with the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Affectionately calling Jones his “Goliath,” Deion Sanders recalled how the Cowboys owner won his trust and pulled him into the Cowboys after he won his first Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers. 

Prime Time joined the Cowboys as a high-priced free agent where he transformed the team with a Super Bowl win. He also made it to the Pro Bowl four times and had three first-team All-Pro selections while he was with Jerry Jones. While Coach Prime is now preparing his Buffs for the upcoming spring football games, Jones is currently in hot water as he faces a lawsuit.

After the court’s order to Jones, this is what Davis’ lawyer Kris Hayer had to say-

Alex is in a position where she really no longer has to hide her truth or live under the thumb of fear and maybe she’s going to finally get some peace and we hope other families will have that same benefit from the judge following the law.”
