Previously Likened to Hall of Fame Coach, Deion Sanders Receives Michael Jordan Comparison From 46YO NFL Veteran

College football is witnessing a never seen before impact when it comes to viewership and 56-year-old NFL legend Deion Sanders stands as the reason for it. Moreover, the comparisons that Sanders has been getting lately are quite amusing. Previously Shaquille O’Neal compared Sanders to a Hall of Fame NBA coach and it took only three games for the Lakers legend to make this statement. Now, a 46-year-old NFL veteran has compared ‘Coach Prime’ to Michael Jordan!?

In what’s expected to be a breakout season for the Colorado Buffaloes, the fans are hyped to see the team succeed under the guidance of ‘Coach Prime’. Bringing back the nostalgia for many, Sanders continues to stay in the spotlight as the Buffaloes fight for a playoff spot.?

Coach Prime continues to attract more eyes to college football

It’s safe to say, for the first time in football history, millions of fans have tuned into the game only to witness a coach run his team. Taking up the avatar of ‘Coach Prime’, Sanders has created his own fandom. While many continue to idolize the NFL Hall of Famer, former football quarterback Quincy Carter has found the reason behind it.?

The 46-year-old NFL veteran shared,?“From the standpoint of greatness on the field to a whole new dimension of advertising yourself…I would have to compare him to Michael Jordan.” What surprised Carter the most was the business Sanders created off the field.?

Remember the Deion Sanders shades? The iconic sunglasses reportedly made $5 million in the first three days of pre-sales. Coming to his legacy on the field, Sanders is not slowing down a bit. The quick decisions and changes during the clutch times have helped the Buffaloes make a name for themselves in the NCAA.

This impact reminded Shaquille O’Neal of former Chicago Bulls head coach Phil Jackson. Shaq shared, “If the general doesn?t panic, the troops don?t panic.”?

Can Deion Sanders be as successful as Michael Jordan when it comes to winning??

Well, that is a question which will need some more time to get an answer for. Lately, the Buffaloes have slipped big time after they lost three straight games. The trust in the team has reduced a bit, yet it will be too early to come to a conclusion.?

Sanders is known for turning things over and that is exactly what the fans believe in. With huge games ahead on the line, the Buffaloes have to stand up to their expectation to justify these comparisons.?

What are your thoughts on the above comparisons? Is Sanders really as good as Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson? Share your take in the comments below.?
