Long before Deion Sanders took up his first coaching job in 2012, he was a pro football player for five different NFL teams. In 1995, he even solidified his relationship with the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Affectionately calling Jones his “Goliath,” Deion Sanders recalled how the Cowboys owner won his trust and pulled him into the Cowboys after he won his first Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers.
Prime Time joined the Cowboys as a high-priced free agent where he transformed the team with a Super Bowl win. He also made it to the Pro Bowl four times and had three first-team All-Pro selections while he was with Jerry Jones. While Coach Prime is now preparing his Buffs for the upcoming spring football games, Jones is currently in hot water as he faces a lawsuit.

Reach the People Media recently uploaded a YouTube video where Deion talked about his time with Jerry Jones, saying, “He was my Goliath and talking about a great player. Unbelievable. He was the reason I stayed at a certain level to make sure I could handle him.”
Jerry Jones is an inspiration to so many people but the 81-year-old is not without his own problems. He has found himself fresh in a legal battle that was filed two years ago. The lawsuit, however, is of a personal rather than professional nature.

Alexandra Davis has come out to speak openly against Jerry Jones who is supposedly her father. According to the lawsuit, she claims that Jones paid her and her mother Cynthia Davis Spencer $375,000 to remain silent about their relationship that dated back to 1995. After the court’s order to Jones, this is what Davis’ lawyer Kris Hayer had to say-
“Alex is in a position where she really no longer has to hide her truth or live under the thumb of fear and maybe she’s going to finally get some peace and we hope other families will have that same benefit from the judge following the law.”
