Deion Sanders feels shocked, but definitely not on the football field or recruiting trail. His trusted right-hand man, Sam “Malone” Morini, left the Buffaloes head coach speechless.

Since joining the Colorado Buffaloes, Morini has been Deion’s shadow. He manages Deion’s talent and daily activities, forging a close bond with the head coach. Imagine Deion’s surprise when a recent Instagram story revealed a hidden talent in Morini. 

Morini casually flexed his impressive guitar skills, proving he’s no musical novice. Seemingly oblivious to this talent, Deion reposted the story with a stunned, “All I can say is wow! You think you know a person and the next thing u know they think they Silly Nelson.” The mention of the renowned guitarist appears to be a tribute to Morini’s skill while effectively emphasizing Deion’s initial surprise.

It’s surprising considering Morini has been by Deion Sanders‘ side constantly: promoting his book in March, touring with him, and even appearing behind Deion and his crew in a recent Nike ad campaign. All this time, Deion remained unaware of Morini’s musical prowess.

While Deion’s reaction was lighthearted, his “shout-out” carried weight. Morini, too, was left in awe and reposted Deion’s response with laughing emojis. Now, this is no simple thing. Getting a thumbs up from musical genius Sanders means something. Who knows? This unexpected revelation may lead to future collaborations or opportunities for Morini to showcase his musical skills even more!

Deion Sanders’ passion for music and his support

Back in the ’90s, Coach Prime wasn’t just dominating the field, he was dropping beats too. His debut album, Prime Time, hit the scene in 1994, followed by the single Must Be The Money. While his rapping career didn’t exactly top the charts, his passion for music hasn’t faded.

Now, at 56, Deion’s reigniting his musical flame. He’s re-releasing Must Be The Money after decades and even collaborated with Snoop Dogg on a remix (set to drop soon!). Now, Deion’s support for music extends to his family as well. He recently gave his son, Deion Sanders Jr., a chance to showcase his rapping skills in front of Snoop himself. And the next thing, Bucky was signing a deal with Death Row Records, which is a dream for many musicians.

So, the question is: could Deion Sanders offer the same platform to his talent manager, Sam Morini, and help him showcase his guitar skills? Deion Sanders has a knack for creating opportunities, and anything is possible now.
