And how sweet is that? While it is true that Deion Sanders is probably hated by most of the people in CFB, you still gotta give this man some props for being a great father and a great coach. Running on a 4-1 season, the Buffs are on the hot seat. With the UCF game, the boys proved that they have what it takes to be the best. However, the important part is that Deion Sanders proved that he is a good coach. But let’s keep being ‘a father’ and ‘coach’ aside. Sometimes, Deion has to be the best son as well.
In the latest post made by Coach Prime on October 3rd, we find Deion Sanders taking a small ride around their property. However, there was one surprise guest beside him; Mama Prime aka Connie Knight. After going around the entire property, Mama Prime couldn’t stop herself from asking, “You own all this?”. Deion Sanders, being the amazing son he is had the perfect response. “We own all of this,” Coach Prime mentioned.

See, you can have all the money in the world. However, ‘manners maketh man’. Doesn’t matter if Deion Sanders was a millionaire or a billionaire, the fact that he still manages to stay this humble is more than enough. Deion has been deeply involved in looking out for Mama Prime.
Back in 1989, when Coach Prime got drafted by the Falcons, it marked the final year of Connie ever working. “My mother has not worked since 1989 when I signed the dotted line for the Atlanta Falcons,” Deion had mentioned during an interview. Coach Prime had made a promise that he would do anything to make sure his mother didn’t have to break any more sweat. He kept his promise.
