CB Deion Sanders Jr.Son of Deion Sanders
Pro Football Hall of Fame CB, 14-year NFL vet, 9-year MLB vet
Does Deion Jr. have off-the-field traits similar to his father? Without question. There's a confidence in the younger Sanders that resembles the grandiosity and accepted arrogance of his father, who took pride in high-stepping to the end zone after every interception for a touchdown. The two even share an appreciation for music. As Deion Sr. released two albums in 1994 and 2005, Deion Jr. has YouTube videos showing off his rap skills.
Deion Jr. is a little smaller than his father, but he has the same playmaking abilities and, like his father, loves to play multiple positions. There have been games in which the younger Sanders has lined up at quarterback, receiver, running back, cornerback, kickoff returner and punt returner. Where he plays in college will determine on how motivated he is to master multiple positions. Will he bring the level of swagger that made his father "Prime Time"? That still remains to be seen.
