Deion Sanders and her ex-wife might not agree on many things, but they sure do when it comes to the love and appreciation they share for their daughter, Shelomi Sanders. The proud parents showered their daughter with heaps of praise following the first basket she scored as a freshman year for her basketball team, the Buffs. This was not the first time Deion Sanders’ ex-wife had applauded her daughter, though. As a loving mother, Sanders cherishes each moment she gets to cherish with her daughter, be it a Buffs football game, or a girls’ day out. How can she miss the opportunity to wish her on her special day? PILAR SANDERS WISHES HER DAUGHTER WITH A WACKY PICTURE As Shelomi Sanders celebrates her 20th birthday, Pilar Sanders, who is the most happy when it comes to celebrating Shelomi Sanders’ small wins, wishes her a happy birthday through her Instagram. [https://www.instagram.com/stories/pilarsanders/3257587834948224254?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=YTI4YzE2YTYwMA==] But, being a classic mom, she never misses an opportunity to tease her daughter a little. And what is more fun than sharing a picture taken from a funny angle? Bossy was jutting out her tongue, paired with an even more bizarre painting in the background with the same expression. Fans were quick to get the hint, yet Sanders posted a teeny tiny “Twinning” in the story, along with wishing her a “Happy 20th Birthday!” of course.

Her love is shared between all her kids. Just as she shared the debut basket of Shelomi Sanders’s career, she makes sure to share each record that her star QB son Shedeur Sanders and safety Shilo Sanders crack. Be it the safety leading the team to victory, or be it the QB crossing 10,000 career passing yards, Pilar Sanders posts about all of it. SHEDUER SANDERS IS KEEN ON SPENDING HOLIDAYS WITH HIS MOM While Deion Sanders was dreaming of spending an exotic holiday vacation with his family, Shedeur Sanders had other things on his mind. When asked about his holiday, the QB Sanders bluntly replied with an “I got a mom.” Read Also: “I Got a Mom”: Shedeur Sanders Leaves Coach Prime at a Loss for Words by Mentioning Ex-wife Pilar in Banter [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-ncaa-news-i-got-a-mom-shedeur-sanders-leaves-coach-prime-at-a-loss-for-words-by-mentioning-ex-wife-pilar-in-banter/] The banter was not only quick to disappoint Coach Prime; it was also quick to grab the attention of fans. Nevertheless, Deion Sanders was locked out of words when his ex-wife was mentioned. Despite their differences, Coach Prime and his ex-wife continue to raise their kids with their joint parenting approach.

"That's where my mindset is at." I, Pankti Parmar, felt it when Brock Purdy said
this. I use my background in psychology to seamlessly cover various dimensions
of iconic NFL players' lifestyles. I feel that my knack for unfolding the game
layer by layer, combined with my easy-to-understand articulation gives the
reader a wholesome experience. I developed a knack for disciplined, tough sports
when I experienced my first kickboxing class. Initially, it was 'Rowdy' Ronda
Rousey who drew me into the realm of sports, but Brock Purdy's celebrated
records, along with the competitive nature of the NFL, made my head whip towards
the sport. Since then, there has been no turning back. During my breaks, you'll
find me picking up my next poem to read. All in all, my passion for covering
sports articles at ES is something that I wake up to every single day. - Pankti

Deion Sanders

Who is Deion Sanders? Deion Sanders is a former NFL cornerback, MLB outfielder, and present-day college football coach. Nicknamed Prime Time and &#8216;Neon Deion&#8217; during his collegiate football career, Sanders won 2 Super Bowl rings during his 14 years in the National Football League. Teams like the Atlanta Falcons, the San Francisco 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys, the Washington Redskins, and the Baltimore Ravens witnessed his prowess.

(Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images for SiriusXM) In 2020, Prime Time entered the coaching hemisphere as he took charge of the Jackson State Tigers football program. Sanders turned the Tigers&#8217; losing record into back-to-back winning years and South West Athletic Conference Championships. Sanders left the JSU program to take the University of Colorado head coaching job for the Buffaloes in December 2022. Deion Sanders&#8217; Early Life, Family, and College Life Born on August 9, 1967, Deion Sanders resided in Fort Myers Florida with his parents—Connie Sanders and Mims Sanders. Since he was a kid, Sanders had a strong inclination toward athletics and played a variety of sports like football, baseball, and track and field. However, his family was mostly inclined toward football as his dad coached the local high school team. At the age of two, his parents separated, and Sanders&#8217; mother later got married to Willie Knight. While Connie Sanders has been an inspiration for Deion Sanders, his step-dad Knight has played a big role in influencing the young Sanders. Prime Time attended North Fort Myers High School and later continued his journey at Florida State University to pursue his dreams in football and baseball. In 1985, Prime Time entered the Florida High School Association All-Century Team. He played for the Florida State football program from 1985 to 1988 after rejecting an offer to play baseball for the Kansas City Royals, being selected in the sixth round (1985). April 3, 2004 &#8211; U.S. &#8211; KRT STAND ALONE SPORTS PHOTO SLUGGED: FSUSPRINGGAME KRT PHOTOGRAPH BY PHIL SEARS/TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT (April 3) TALLAHASSEE, FL &#8212; Former Florida State University and NFL American Football Herren USA star Deion Sanders talks to the media during halftime at the Seminoles Garnet &amp; Gold spring game in Tallahassee, Florida, on Saturday, April 3, 2004. Sanders, one of over 30 former Seminoles attending the game, discussed plans to get former FSU student-athletes more involved with the university and its future student-athletes. (cdm) 2004 News Archive &#8211; April 3, 2004 &#8211; ZUMAm67 During the four years at Florida State, the Seminoles used Deion Sanders in their football, baseball, and track programs. In his final two years, Prime Time became a back-to-back unanimous All-American cornerback. Deion also made the third All-American team in 1986. Sanders left his mark in the history books as he broke Fred Biletnikoff&#8217;s interception return record with his 100-yard return and touchdown. Sanders also added the Jim Thorpe Award to his collection in 1988. Florida State even retired Sanders&#8217; No. 2 jersey after his iconic interception in the 1989 Sugar Bowl against Auburn with five seconds left on the clock, clinching the 13-7 win. Prime graduated with 14 interceptions, which was the second-highest in Florida State history at the time. An interesting fact in Deion Sanders&#8217; life concerning his name is the addition of the alphabet &#8216;e&#8217; in &#8216;Deion&#8217;. During his appearance in 2017 on the Rich Eisen show, Sanders disclosed how his name is &#8220;Dion&#8221; on legal documents. Referring to the same, he said, &#8220;I spelled it D-E-I-O-N. When we were kids we knew the Old McDonald song, Old McDonald had a farm. What is the next line? E I, E I O. So I implemented the E I O N. I just did it. I have to show it and when I have to show credit cards to a company that when I go through the airport. Every once in a while, somebody say, `You gotta go back to the front desk. This is not your name.&#8217; I just look at them.&#8221; Deion Sanders: Marriage, Custodial Battles, and Suicide Attempt In 1989, Deion Sanders married model Carolyn Chambers. They had been dating for a year, and for them, marriage was the next step in their relationship. Chambers and Sanders have two children together—son Deion Sanders Jr and daughter Deiondra Sanders. Deiondra, as per her LinkedIn profile, has been the director at Sc3 Sports Management for communications since June 2019. On the other hand, Deion Sanders Jr. entered the realm of football in his college days at Southern Methodist University. But, later on, he shifted his career toward fashion. Further, he released a rap track called &#8220;Swaggin&#8221; and has been in the music industry for a while now. His latest songs &#8220;Money Old&#8221; and &#8220;Kandy&#8221; were released in 2022. Alas! The relationship between Deion Sanders and Carolyn did not last, and they parted ways in 1998. While the reasons for their split were never made clear, and it was reported that the separation was due to &#8220;unresolved issues,&#8221; it led to some serious setbacks in Deion Sanders&#8217; life. The court, post-divorce, granted Carolyn Chambers the custody of their two kids, and Sanders was able to visit them as he liked. This phase was very difficult in Deion Sanders&#8217; life. Not only was his marriage falling apart, but his father was quite ill. The stress and depression from these traumatic events pushed the coach to take a consequential step. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Sanders tried to commit suicide in 1997. He drove his car off a cliff in Cincinnati. Concerning this, Sanders said, &#8220;I attempted suicide, but God had his hands on me, and it was like 40-30 foot drop.&#8221; As he felt &#8220;empty&#8221;, he recalled how this incident helped him to connect with God. This brush with mortality was explained in-depth by Sanders in his autobiography &#8220;Money &amp; Sex: How Success Almost Ruined My Life&#8221; in 1999 as he decided that life is worth living and became religious. In the same year, he remarried. His second marriage was with model Pilar Sanders. They were married for over three decades and share three children—sons Shedeur, Shilo Sanders, and daughter Shelomi Sanders. Credits: Imago Shilo Sanders is a talented football player who received a scholarship for the same from Florida State. Right now, he plays as a safety for the Colorado Buffaloes. Shedeur, Sanders&#8217; third son, is also a football protégé. His career took off as a QB in high school and carried on in his college life. Initially, he had committed to joining Florida Atlantic University but eventually chose Jackson State. Currently, he is the quarterback in the same team in which his brother is a safety and his dad is the coach. In the Sanders clan, Shelomi Sanders is the youngest and is an eminent basketball player. Just like her brothers, she is quite athletic. The evidence of the same was provided when, during her JSU debut in 2022, she sank a three-point shot. However, in 2013, he parted ways with her as well. This time, though, the custody of the three kids remained with Prime Time. After his split from Pilar Sanders, he got into a relationship with Tracey Edmonds. The duo first met in 2012 and eventually got engaged in 2019. However, soon, the two decided to go their ways in December 2023. The split was made public through an Instagram post uploaded by Edmonds. The most recent update concerning Deion Sanders&#8217; love life has been a rumored relationship with Latina fitness model Qiana Aviles. While nothing has been confirmed from the coach&#8217;s side, Aviles was spotted at one of the Colorado Buffaloes&#8217; games What is Deion Sanders&#8217; net worth in 2024? According to Celebrity Net Worth, Deion Sanders has a net worth of around $45 million. In his high school days, Deion Sanders was offered $75000 to participate in Minor League Baseball. However, he took a different route and went to college at Florida State. This decision eventually paved the way for Sanders to amass big earnings. Starting from the 14-year NFL glory, the coach has accumulated 45.650 million dollars and his baseball earnings add up to approximately $13.3 million. Therefore, his total career earnings as a sports star are around $58 million. However, that is not where Deion Sanders stopped with his career. He went on to become one of the eminent coaches in the world of football.

(Credit: Getty Images) The evidence of the same was the four-year $1.2 million contract signed by Sanders in 2020 with the Jackson State Tigers. Soon though, Sanders&#8217; decision to join the Buffaloes program before his JSU contract expired needed him to buy out of his contract. That set him back by nearly $300,000. In addition to that, Sanders also had to pay Jackson State half of the remaining salary on his deal, as per the university&#8217;s athletic director Ashley Robinson. But, this setback was soon met with a positive, thanks to the current five-year contract signed with the Buffaloes worth $29.5 million. This turns out to be a salary of around $5.5 million per year. According to Sports Illustrated, this lucrative contract excludes potential bonuses and incentives.  The elements of Sanders&#8217; first-season contract worth $5.5 million  $500,000 for basic compensation  $1.75 million for radio, television, and other public appearances  $1.75 million for promotion and fundraising  $1.5 million for the development of the student-athletes  Apart from this, he has also worked as a TV sports analyst on channels like CBS, NFL Network, and Barstool Sports. This helped him earn an annual salary of $1 million, as per reports. Besides his love for sports, endorsement deals with brands like Nike, Pizza Hut, and American Express have helped him amass considerable wealth. Away from the gridiron, his autobiography, rap album, and reality shows have also added value to Sanders&#8217; net worth. His business savvy has allowed him to dabble in ventures like owning an arena football team and launching a fashion line. Deion Sanders Dabbles in College Baseball and Track Under head coach Mike Martin, Deion played baseball for the Seminoles, where he amassed a batting average of.331 in 1986 and stole 27 bases in his penultimate season. One memorable collegiate moment for Deion that he will never forget was when he competed in a 4*100 meter track relay as the Seminoles were playing Southern Mississippi in the conference semifinal baseball game.
