Deion Sanders and Shaquille O’Neal share a similar parenting style

Both Colorado’s safety, Shilo, and quarterback, Shedeur, have excelled under their father’s guidance. As their coach, the legend maintains a strict approach not only with his sons?but also with the entire team.

During a practice session, Shilo mistakenly addressed his father as “daddy,” prompting Coach Prime to swiftly reiterate his role as their coach. He emphasized that on the field, he is their coach, not their father. Like O?Neal, the football legend also practices a strict parenting style. During an interview with ‘People’ in 2015, O’Neal revealed, “My son got a D on a paper one time, and he said he couldn?t find the information. I went off.”
