The Well Off Media ensured to capture the behind-the-scenes. You may not have a lavish party, but at least Horn Jr. had his teammates by his side who got huddled up to make him feel special with the happy birthday song. It was time for Deion to ask Jr. about what he wanted as his birthday gift, to which his reply had won hearts. “I got what I want, got life about 100,” replied the WR. But Deion Sanders being Deion Sanders, how he could just let go of his favorite Jimmy Horn Jr. without a gift on his birthday? While he would surely come up with some grand gifts later on, for the time being, he gifted the WR a big dose of feel-good vibes that came with a shot of reassurance.
Addressing the Buffs, Coach Prime came up with a sweet request, “Well, we got to help him get a dub. We got to help him get a win, and if we help him win, we can play a role in that…Y’all help me give Jimmy that for his birthday, all right?” Surely life has handed Jimmy Horn Jr. a giant cheque of luck!
