Deiondra Sanders might have just crushed the biggest dream of his father! The Sanders clan kids are known for being born with a knack for sports. Leaving Deiondra Sanders out of the equation, all the kids of Deion Sanders have played professional sports.

Not too keen on the sports side of her family, Deiondra Sanders made a revelation about her take on her upcoming son’s future in sports during her June 25 Q&A session posted on YouTube. “I would always say like I don’t want my son to play football because it is very dangerous,” the baby mama said, expressing her protectiveness for her soon-to-be baby.

After confessing that she had watched the tape, Deiondra Sanders firmly put down her verdict about her son’s future that she would not want him to get engaged in the sport. However, she knew that, “now that I’m having my child, my family is definitely going to want my son to play football.” While Deiondra’s unborn baby’s height has always been a topic to jokingly tease Deiondra Sanders for her and her boyfriend’s 5’5″ height, Deion Sanders has already made plans for his soon-to-be grandson.

Coach Prime has ‘already enrolled him for soccer classes’

Towards the end of May, Deion Sanders had openly admitted to getting his soon-to-be grandson involved in the world of football. The reason? Their concern about Deiondra Sanders and Jacquees’s son not being tall. Even though Deiondra proudly stated during her first ultrasound checkup that “Thе Doctor еvеn said thе arms arе mеasuring longer so wе may havе a tall baby y’all! ” Coach Prime is not buying it.

“Shе’s saying that hе’s gonna bе tall, but thеy said thе samе thing about Bucky. Bucky been trying to track the doctor down that said Bucky was going to be 6’1” and swag on him,” Deion Sanders said in a Well Off Media video aired in May 2024, killing two birds with one stone. Not only did he dismiss Deiondra’s claims, but he also took a playful jibe at his son Deion Sanders Jr.

However, after all this, Deion Sanders admitted his dream to see his soon-to-be grandson playing with the ball, even if it is not football. “We’ve already signed him up for soccer lessons. We’ve already got him enrolled with some of the best soccer coaches. We’re gonna get him right,” Prime said in the Well Off Media video. However, Deion Sanders’ wish to coach football to his grandson might always remain just a wish!
