Deion Sanders the Bassmaster? He believes he could've been a pro angler
Deion Sanders is known for a lot of different things. A legendary football star, MLB sensation, outstanding parent, mentor, and now coach. But he revealed to PEOPLE Magazine a third sport he thinks he could've gone pro in back in the day.
Coach Prime noted he has an amazing skill set when it comes to bass fishing, and believes he would be on a pro tour in the 90's.
Sanders, a Hall of Famer with a 14-year career in the NFL, is one of the only athletes to hit a home run for an MLB team and score a touchdown in the league. Although, having his vibrant personality on a pro fishing tour would've given Bill Dance a run for his money. It could be great to watch a Saturday morning show with Prime out on a boat reeling in fish and telling stories from his playing career. An outstanding show pitch, if you ask me. Maybe an idea for post-retirement? Stay tuned.
Prime enters his first season with the Colorado Buffaloes after three years at Jackson State. He brings his sons, Shilo and Shedeur, with him, along with daughter, Shelomi, playing for the CU Women's basketball team.
"I was just so much more comfortable in those other couple of sports that I've never had an opportunity to play at the collegiate level in basketball," Sanders admitted to PEOPLE while reflecting on his daughter's journey.
Colorado opens the season in Dallas on Sept. 2 against TCU.
