NFL legend Deion Sanders is extra cautious in his approach. The seasoned campaigner has imposed a travel ban on Jackson State players. They are restricted from leaving their hotel. However, a heartbroken coach has a plain reason. They are playing in Houston. A day ago, rapper Takeoff was shot dead in Houston. The safety of players is a matter of concern for the coach.

Meanwhile, the NFL HOF-er, in a heartfelt speech, explained his stand. The 55 YO told friends and family must come to the team hotel. The weekend game is against Texas Southern on Saturday. 

What happened to Takeoff?

The coach is worried about the game location. “Takeoff was murdered in a dice game in Houston, where we’re going,” Sanders said in a video. “So, that eliminates all y’all leaving that hotel, ’cause it ain’t happening until I give you further notice,” he added. 

Earlier, the talented rapper got killed at a bowling alley. The 28 YO Takeoff was the youngest member of Migos. Reportedly, gunshots were fired during the crime incident. An investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, team members did not react to the coach’s ban. 

Deion Sanders is feeling the grief

The pain is more personal for the legend. Similarly, he lost Young Dolph a year ago. The talented rapper got killed in his hometown. Takeoff incident has revived some old memories. “I’m just sick and tired of the consistency of people that are influential to you leaving. That’s our rappers,” added Sanders, without naming Young Dolph.

Meanwhile, the seasoned campaigner, a big fan of Tom Brady, emphasized the importance of family in his speech. He said the players are valuable to their loved ones. Nicknamed Prime Time, the legend admitted it is why he has taken this hard step.
