Colorado Fans Do the Math on Football Coach Deal With Dieon Sanders

During his days as an athlete, Deion Sanders created his “Prime Time” persona with his larger-than-life personality and on-field feats. He’s the only athlete ever to play in both the Super Bowl (in 1994 and 1995) and the World Series (1992). At Jackson State, he led the school to a 27-5 record over three seasons, with back-to-back Southwestern Athletic Conference championships in 2021 and 2022.
