One of the most sought-after coaches in college football, Deion Sanders proved it by landing a $29.5 million deal with the Colorado Buffaloes for the next five years. But as he recovers from a recent surgery, he also took a trip down memory lane with an old friend, Peyton Manning. They have a lively chat and a spirited workout at Cotton Ball Stadium, where they shared some of their best moments.
Peyton Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, but he always wondered what it would be like to play on the other side of the ball. That’s why he decided to meet up with Deion Sanders, the legendary two-way player who excelled as a cornerback and a wide receiver. The rare footage of their encounter was recently uploaded by Omaha Productions on YouTube.

Deion proceeds to teach Peyton the secrets of playing DB, which he says are confidence, cockiness, and arrogance. He tells Peyton to walk with a swagger and lean a bit to show that he’s not afraid of anyone. He says that when they enter the field, they should make their presence known.
“Yeah, don’t shake your head like that, just keep it still. When you shake your head, it’s like confusion.” Primetime tells Peyton not to shake his head in doubt or confusion, but rather keep it still and confident. He says that shaking the head could signal weakness or uncertainty, which is not what a DB should do.
