Deion Sanders, the PrimeTime Coach, recently dropped a bombshell. He spilled the beans on why he couldn’t make a comeback to the NFL as a coach. And guess what? It’s all because of those less grueling practices nowadays.
Yes, you heard that right. Prime Time himself confessed that the less intense practices were the main reason why he couldn’t return to the gridiron. Now, we all know Deion was one good athlete, blazing down the field with electrifying speed but hey, he sees things differently now.
Chatting with host Rocsi Diaz and former teammate and current ESPN color commentator Troy Aikman, Sanders bemoaned the difference in practice intensity nowadays, saying back in his era he competed just as hard in practice as he would a game. He highlighted the contrast as the reason he couldn’t stand to coach at the highest level.
“That’s the way we practiced,” Sanders said, per Pro Football Talk. “I know it’s cute but I couldn’t coach pro ball. The way they practice, the way they go about it, I couldn’t take it as a man and as a football enthusiast. I care about the game. The game is still providing for Troy and I. There’s no way I could allow that to happen on my watch. That would be tough.”
So, there you have it, folks. Deion Sanders couldn’t make a comeback to the NFL and coach, all thanks to those less punishing practices. But hey, he’s still killing it in the coaching world, and we can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next. Prime Time forever!
