Deion Sanders says he was robbed of wallet, watches during first game as Jackson St. head coach

Deion Sanders' debut as Jackson State football coach looked like reason for celebration.

After their fall season was delayed because of COVID-19, the Tigers opened the Prime Time era with a 53-0 win over Edward Waters on Sunday. Prior to the game, Sanders got a visit from former Dallas Cowboys teammate and fellow football Hall of Famer Troy Aikman that Sanders said moved him to tears.

All seemed well in western Mississippi. That is, until Sanders' postgame press conference.
