Coach Prime’s renown knows no bounds. The former two-sport athlete continues to amaze audiences new to him. After all, Deion Sanders played in the NFL and MLB at the same time, excelling at both. Although he’s a Hall of Famer when it comes to football, Prime Time may prefer baseball a bit more. At least the former slugger found it harder to be on the diamond than the gridiron. Either way, he has found die-hard fans in Snoop Dogg and LeBron James.
The sports legend is now back with his beloved football, this year in Colorado. His supreme progress with The Buffaloes has earned Sanders well-wishers from all around the country. While his baseball buddies have not spoken out publicly, icons from the entertainment industry as well as other sports are showing their “FANTASTIC” support.

But Sanders’ fandom extends to the NBA as well, particularly The Lakers, as well as Hollywood. Although of course, it hasn’t been all victories all the time, it’s fun to watch The Buffaloes play. To honor the man who revived them, LeBron James is flying to Boulder to watch the upcoming game against USC. Not only that, but Will Ferrell and Matthew McConaughey will join him.
Additionally, the music industry’s superstars Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, DJ Khaled, and Lil Wayne will also join the party. Interestingly, no one from baseball, former or active personality, has made a cameo in the crowd, despite Sanders choosing the sport over football many times. Nevertheless, it just goes on to show the Buffaloes’ hard work and how Coach Prime can work a miracle.
