Face of America’s Team Jerry Jones Narrates The Terrific Story Behind Recruiting this League-Altering Athlete on National TV

The Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is one of the biggest names in the National Football League. Today, he owns one of the most expensive football teams, which is valued at $6.5 Billion by Forbes in 2021.

Recently, Jones shared a funny incident involving Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and explained how similar they are when it comes to prioritizing the family.

The 54-year-old veteran happens to be a Cowboys legend and played for the franchise from 1995 to 1999. Often referred to as coach prime, the Florida State alumnus won his second consecutive Super Bowl with the Cowboys in 1996 and impressed his owner Jerry Jones at first sight.

While speaking at the 21st and Prime talk show, Sanders revealed that among all the owners he played under in both NFL & MLB, Jones happens to be his favorite owner of all time.
