Deion Sanders is about to trade his coaching duties for some grandpa duties, as his 33-year-old daughter Deiondra Sanders, is expecting a baby with her partner, R&B rapper Jacquees. Even though Coach Prime seemed to be all excited about the news as he congratulated his daughter, his recent interview reveals his apprehension.

Deion Sanders is on a promotion spree for his book “Elevate and Dominate: 21 Ways to Win On and Off the Field”. For this, he made an appearance on the “3rd Hour Today” show where the anchors inquired about his feelings regarding the upcoming baby. With his trademark wit and charm, Deion Sanders shared his thoughts on his new chapter of life, from Coach Prime to “Pop Pop Prime”.

To which Sanders came with a quick reply,  “I don’t like that though. I like it because I love my daughter. First of all, I’m proud. She’s 34. She’ll be 34 momentarily. So I’m happy. She’s ready and she’s prepared, and it’s a blessing. But I don’t know if I am ready to be a granddad. Grandpa Prime!” In another interview, Coach Prime has been seized with the same emotion, “Can you imagine somebody calling me a granddad!?”

A lot is on the plate for Deion Sanders right now with the Buffaloes’ Spring season knocking at the door and the back-to-back promotions for his book. Hence, with his daughter’s impending transition into motherhood, the coach has been going through a mix of emotions. Following her father’s appearance, Deiondra ensured to share the snippet in her Instagram story with the caption, “PaPa Prime lol”.
