Troy Aikman Praises Former Cowboys Teammate Deion Sanders' Work at Jackson State

Count former Dallas Cowboys teammate Troy Aikman among those who are impressed with Deion Sanders' work as the Jackson State head coach.

Jarrett Bell of USA Today shared some of Aikman's comments:

"He's kind of an old soul that is so relatable to today’s athlete.
"It's a wonderful combination. I'm trying to think who else might be like that, to have been away from the game for as long as he has been, but is still very relevant as a player with this generation. Can you think of anybody?
"If I'm relevant, it's because they see me as a broadcaster.
