As a football player, Deion Sanders created his own lane into the hall of fame.
He brought swagger to Florida State University, and one was one of the greatest defensive backs in the history of the National Football League. The two-time Super Bowl champion has his name in the College and Pro Football Hall of Fame as a player.
Last season, Sanders updated his credentials to head coach of Jackson State University. The Tigers went 4-3 with some impressive wins over Edwards Waters and Mississippi Valley State, but the man of a million nicknames wants respect.
Simply known as “Primetime,” Sanders was not happy with being addressed by his first name at the SWAC Media Day event inside the Sheraton-Birmingham on Tuesday.
