We don’t talk about Bucky enough. Yeah, Deion Sanders has indeed managed to change the history of Colorado Buffs football, but his oldest son, Deion Sanders Jr. was pretty much the sole king behind the Coach Prime and Buffs media presence. Not too long ago, we talked about how Deion Sanders and Deion Sanders Jr. managed to switch up the social media game through Well Off Media and Reach The People. Right now, everyone knows who the Buffs are, and that added to the fact that Coach Prime is on an 8-win run and has a Bowl ticket in. It ain’t no wonder why “Sanders” is the hottest topic in college football. This entire empire was built by Bucky and Coach Prime.
And well, Atlanta Pictures took to their Instagram account to share a throwback picture of young Bucky with Deion Sanders. “Former Atlanta Falcons Cornerback Deion Sanders and his son Deion Sanders Jr back in the day,” Atlanta Pictures mentioned in their caption. Connie Knight, Coach Prime’s mother, quickly shared the post on her story as well. All of this easily managed to captivate fans.

You don’t need a DNA test for Bucky and Coach Prime. From the shot and that side-eye, it’s clear that Deion Sanders Jr. is Coach Prime’s son. It is kind of wild how quickly time has passed, and now Bucky does almost all the heavy lifting when it comes to sharing behind-the-scenes footage or interviews of players on the team.
And Bucky’s role ain’t just limited to social media. Dude has ALWAYS been very open and grounded when it comes to praising the team and giving them the reality check as well. Back in September, when the Buffs were run over by Nebraska, Bucky did not hesitate to title his video “Colorado Gets Embarrassed By Nebraska.”

Then, back in October, when Coach Prime and Co. got their massive win against a team like UCF, Bucky kept it real with the gang when he said, “Truthfully, we still haven’t done sh–, we still don’t deserve to be ranked.” Maybe it’s this humbling that allowed the Buffs to secure big wins against Texas Tech and then against the Utes. It ain’t no wonder why the fans love the duo so much.
Like father, like son
“This is an amazing beautiful picture. Bucky look like a young Deion here. Wow!!!! God is amazing,” was what one fan pointed out in the comment section. See, we told you. We don’t need a DNA test here, man. Not only from the looks, though; with how future-focused and hard-working Bucky is, ain’t no wonder he is Coach Prime’s son.

On the same note, another fan commented, “BUCKEY IS YOUR LOOK ALIKE I SEE ❤❤❤❤❤”. Another fan mentioned, “Awww, look at Bucky❤.” He was adorable as a baby, and no one can deny that.
Finally, a man wrote, “Cute pic! 🔥 One thang about him.. Prime LOVES his kids man! Frfr.” This will never not be true. Deion Sanders has done everything to teach his kids what’s right and what’s wrong. It kind of blows our mind that people like Jason Whitlock would criticize Prime for leveraging his son to brush his ego.
