The playful digs at height never run out in the Sanders house. Deiondra Sanders is all too familiar with it. The digs on her soon-to-come baby boy‘s height have been raining from her father and brother since she announced her pregnancy. Thanks to the 5’4″ height of her baby daddy Jacquees, and her similar 5’5″ stature, she can only laugh at the jokes of their baby not inheriting the NFL height genes of grandfather Deion Sanders.

But Deion Sanders might have given the ultimate shield of defense to use against the jokes, especially against Deion Sanders Jr. since Prime might have revealed the best-kept secret of his son. Deiondra’s soon-to-come son might inherit the short genes, but it might not just be from his parents. His uncle might also be a contributor to those genes as well.

In a recent Well Off Media video, Deion Sanders extended the height jokes to his son Deion Sanders Jr., hilariously calling it out to be a reason for him not going to the NFL. “I think if Bucky was 6’1 he probably would have been in the NFL because he was about a 4’4. To extend him legs a little bit he probably would have been 4’3, he probably would have been in the league but height got the best of him,” Sanders roasted his son, not holding back a bit.

However, Sanders was not about to stop roasting his son just there. Taking the joke up a notch, Sanders even went to the extent of jokingly questioning Sanders Jr.’s DNA. “I don’t know how, his mother is 5’9 and his dad is 6ft, so I don’t know how. I did then, swab his mouth and blood test to make sure. He does look just like me so he is mine but I did, when he was a baby, just swab him a little bit,” Sanders jokingly admitted about his son.

All jokes aside, Sanders Jr.’s decision to hang up his cleats in his junior year as an SMU Mustang WR proves to be the best one he made.

He might have fumbled a bit in choosing the field that worked out the best for him, juggling between fashion and music, to finally land at creating Well Off Media, the road to his success. Not only did Deion Sanders Jr., known as the ‘social media guy‘, significantly improve Colorado and Deion Sanders’ public image, but achieved great success.

Look at him now. Just a day ago Deion Sanders Jr. also boarded a private jet to go to LA. Weeks earlier, Sanders Jr. cruised his Ford F150 Raptor to Sand Dunes National Park, just days before he struck $30k rich in Vegas with brother Shedeur Sanders. With all these earnings, Deion Sanders Jr. can give himself a break for not making it to the NFL.
