Deion Sanders is truly a jack of all trades. As much as he is into the game, he keeps himself updated about all the good stuff that is happening beyond the world of sports. Now that the silver screen wizard, Giancarlo Esposito is adding up to the craze of his upcoming film where he will be playing the MCU character, Coach Prime could not help but give a shoutout to the cinematic maestro.

Given the excitement that Buffs HC is going through, more than Marvel, Sanders is one big fan of Esposito. Is it because of his long legacy in Hollywood that allowed him to appreciate the actor’s talents?

Esposito gets a big nod from Sanders before his new venture

The hype surrounding Marvel’s upcoming film Captain America: Brave New World is for real. The excitement has gotten a notch higher now that Esposito has been revealed to play “an antagonist agent of chaos”. Now while fans are trying to find the answer to whether he will be hunting down Sam Wilson or not, the actor couldn’t help but share his excitement, “Acting is using every part of your body, your emotions, your senses, your feelings, to portray something. But you haven’t seen me use my body in a way that I’ll be using it.”

More than anyone, it’s Deion Sanders who blindly trusts the actor, holding the firm belief that he would make a great impact with his skills. “@quiethandfilms You are a Great ACTOR my brother I just want u to know you are a true difference maker. Much Love & Respect! #CoachPrime,” the Buffs HC tipped his hat. 

Even though Sanders is too busy mastering his next big plan for the Colorado Buffaloes, he has been very much in touch with Hollywood. Recently, his son, Shilo, got a silver screen breakthrough, playing the younger version of Prime Time for the BMF series. Besides that, Deion himself did have a good streak in Hollywood. 

Deion Sanders’ rich legacy in Hollywood

While watching Snoop Dogg’s Amazon Prime flick Underdoggs, it’s difficult not to notice Sanders. Even though in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer masterpiece, Snoop Dogg is the center of attention, the Buffs HC ensured to leave enough impact through his cameo appearance in the 96-minute football comedy. Besides, Deion beautifully portrayed his real-life ‘Prime Time’ character in the movie White T. 

His acting skills brilliantly added value to the storyline of GM Sonny Weaver rebuilding his team at the NFL Draft in Ivan Reitman’s classic Draft Day. Coach Prime’s talent earned him a place by the side of the legendary Chris Berman. It has been quite some time that he has devoted himself fully to being Buffs’ mentor. But it did not help Sanders from landing himself in trouble. Last month, in June, on the McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning show, ESPN commentator Paul Finebaum used the coach’s acting career to pass a caustic jab at him.  

“He’s a Hollywood-created celebrity primarily because of what he did in other walks of life, namely playing football. But I mean he disappeared for a long time,” lashed out Finebaum. Now that Deion Sanders’ “Last Chance” narrative is doing rounds, will Coach Prime cause enough impact to gain back his place in college football? Do share your thoughts!
