“You’re Gonna Be Something One Day”: Young Shedeur Sanders Manifested Greatness Autographing for Proud Dad Coach Prime

Deion Sanders doesn’t believe in overnight fame and status. He’s experienced climbing the ladder to success, and nothing stops him from imparting that knowledge to his sons.

Right from their childhood, Coach Prime has already given his sons something to look forward to in the future. His confidence and vision for Shedeur Sanders were clear when he asked him to create his autograph when he was young, which could be no more than 10. But this little action and support went a long way when his little autograph went on to get encrusted in diamonds.

Deion Sanders beams at Shedeur Sanders’ first autograph

Deion Sanders recently uploaded a candid post from when Shedeur Sanders was still a young kid sitting on his father’s lap. In the video, Coach Prime asked the future QB of his team, “Have you started working on your autograph yet?” To this, young Shedeur nodded enthusiastically, which prompted Deion Sanders to say, “You see when I was his age. Because when you do that, they believe in that and trust that you’re gonna be something one day. And they’ll start working on it.“

Coach Prime’s pride for his son was evident before greatness found them. Although Shedeur Sanders humbly protested, saying, “It’s horrible,” he still made his father proud when he penned down the legendary dollar sign on paper. This episode may be brief and seem like a casual video, but if we interpret it deeper, it shows that Shedeur Sanders’ success isn’t an overnight achievement. Deion Sanders had him schooled and prepped right from a tender age to mold him into the person he is today.

Shedeur Sanders’ 2$ sign isn’t just a thing of the past that stemmed from a childhood fantasy. He was able to carry the sign with him to college, and he solidified it by turning it into bling in the form of a cool diamond chain he wore while in Jackson State. But that’s not the end of it.

This year, Shedeur Sanders presented himself with a legendary chain from Tajia Diamond for his birthday in February. The chain featured a diamond-studded “Legendary” pendant and a 2$ sign on the side. It dazzled the $4.7M worth Buffs QB, who only uttered, “That’s crazy.” But the bling company had another thing in mind: upgrading the lavish piece with emeralds. The owner of Tajia Diamonds, Victor Rodriguez, delivered the piece to Shedeur Sanders in Miami, who was once again left speechless except for “That’s crazy.”
