Deion Sanders's Belongings Misplaced During Coaching Debut, Recovered Postgame

Following his team's 53-0 win over Edward Waters on Sunday in his head coaching debut, Jackson State coach Deion Sanders was not in a celebratory mood when speaking to the media.

Instead, the Pro Football Hall of Famer shared with reporters how angry he felt when he returned to the coaches' room to find that all of his belongings had been taken, including his phone, wallet, credit cards and watches.

Shortly after Sanders shared this, however, Jackson State officials told Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger that Sanders's belongings had not actually been stolen, and were simply misplaced after being relocated for safekeeping.
