Deion Sanders seeking public's help with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

Coach Prime asks for the best namesake you can offer him

Well Off Media

Deion Sanders is known for his Hall of Fame career on the gridiron. But what most people don't know about Coach Prime is outside of being an avid outdoorsman, he could've gone pro in the Bassmasters tour. He's one of the best fishermen in the world and has a few trophies to show it.

It's not surprising Sanders has lakes on his properties and he's in the process of building another one. He asked for suggestions naming the new body of water via an Instagram post on Monday.

"New Lake going in what should I name it," Sanders wrote "I already have Lake Prime & Lake Time. Help me and please keep it clean & Kind."

Sanders gathered over 9,000 suggestions on Monday night. Some of the best ones were "Personal Pond", "Peggy Pond", "Lake Connie", and "Lake Sanders on Ralphie Ravine." It's nice to see Coach Prime finally starting to take some downtime after the end of the season.

Colorado's coaching staff is working towards restocking the Buffs roster by snagging talent out of the transfer portal. They've pulled down a total of six players thus far with four offensive lineman. It was definitely a position that needed to be addressed after surrendering 56 sacks this year and left Buffs QB Shedeur Sanders with a fractured back.

On a lighter note, Coach Prime will have to find time to research what kind of fish he'll stock in his lake. Bass aren't commonly found in the Flatirons region, but Largemouth Bass can be found at the Walden Ponds. So, it's possible to keep them in the area. However, Sanders might have to settle for some variation of trout.
