After Amassing $33.5M From NFL and a Handsome $13.2M From MLB, Coach Prime Deion Sanders Admits He Missed the Trick to Seal His Third Job

Deion Sanders is a man with many tricks up his sleeve. Sanders is part of a select group of people to have excelled and performed at the very top in two different sports. But if it were up to him, he would have gone after another sport other than MLB and NFL. Having played in the NFL as a cornerback for the likes of the Atlanta Falcons and the San Francisco 49ers along with the Dallas Cowboys. He would go on to win 2 super bowls in individual campaigns with the 49ers and the Cowboys. His time in the NFL saw him bag $33.5 Million. Having said that, MLB also saw him compete for a number of years where he would go on to earn another $13.2 million for his skills.

Sanders turned up in the MLB for over a decade as an outfielder. He made his debut in 1989, as he was starting out with the New York Yankees and then moving on to the Atlanta Ravens eventually before turning out for other MLB outfits. Although he never won an MLB ring, he came close to one, in the 1992 world series. If the circumstances were different, Sanders would have wanted to try out another sport. Adding to what is already a glittering career.

Although Sander never went down the route of becoming a professional for the third time. He did go on to take on the mantle of coach, getting his break in college football in 2020. His experience and abilities as a coach has seen him don the nickname, ‘Coach Prime’.

Coach Prime and college football

After hanging up his boots in the MLB and NFL, Sanders took over as NFL analyst for the ESPN. But he earned prominence after becoming a coach in the last couple of years. Coach Prime has overseen the development of Jackson State University in his first job as college football head coach. After spending two years with them, he moved on to Colorado at the end of the calendar year of 2022.

Coach prime comes into Colorado with a monumental task at hand, with the college team potentially without a league to compete in. He has been in talks with other divisions who would gladly accept the Colorado Buffalo to join their division.

Coach Prime has been a successful cornerback, an outfielder and what is turning out to be, a successful coach. He is rare in his abilities to perform a multi-faceted role and that in a professional capacity. If he were ever to go pro in Bass fishing, not many would back him to fail.
