Was Prime Time really responsible for ending Dez Bryant’s college football career? The question still arises in many conversations. Former Cowboys’ star Dez Bryant cleared the assumptions again by representing his role model, Deion Sanders, at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Fest by wearing his jersey no. 21.

He shared a dump of photos and videos from his time at the fest on his Instagram account and captioned it, “I had an amazing time at the @fanaticsfest.” The pictures and his conversions show he really had a good time at the event.

In 2009, the NCAA suspended Bryant for lying about having lunch with Sanders. No other rules were broken. However, the incident affected Sanders because he took a lot of the blame for his lie and was also seen upset for a long time.

Sanders’s disappointment Over Dez Bryant’s dishonesty

When the incident was fresh in 2011, Sanders shared his feelings on The Ben & Skin Show on ESPN. He stated. “I’m upset but not surprised whatsoever.” Still, Sanders tried his best to continue the relationship until he was worried that Bryant’s company might negatively influence other kids in his youth program. At that moment, he felt he could not help him anymore.

In his conversation with ESPN, he shared his concern for the player and stated, “I don’t have a problem with you lying to me. That’s one thing,” Sanders said. “But when you lie to yourself as a man, you have a serious problem, and that’s where this kid is. And I can’t condone it. I really can’t. It tarnishes everything else I’m trying to develop in these kids [in his youth program]. I can’t allow you to poison other kids that I’m trying to mentor and take to another level.”

This wasn’t the first time when Bryant spoke anything about Sanders after he lied about their lunch. Last year, Sports Illustrated reported Bryant’s post on X, which said, “Deion Sanders (doesn’t) have to win another college football game, and that’s what a lot of people don’t understand. He’s legendary and going down in history. That’s cool to see.”

Although the situation between Bryant and Sanders happened a few years ago, fans still remember it. Now that Bryant is seen representing the head coach, fans have their opinions, and there are plenty of comments on his new post. Some of them like Bryant’s approach and have written positive comments.

Bryant has always looked up to Deion Sanders. His recent post is proof of how much he adores Prime Time. Let’s see if the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes reacts to Bryant’s post.
