Deion Sanders Sounds Off on Raiders

NFL superstar and Colorado Buffaloes Coach Deion Sanders sounded off on the Las Vegas Raiders and the hiring of new head coach Antonio Pierce.

HENDERSON, Nev.--The National Football League is the zenith of the game of football; it is played and coached by the elite.  

But, when one of the greatest to ever play the game, and the best at one position, speaks, people listen.  

Deion Sanders is a lightning rod, but no matter what you think of him, when he speaks, not only the game of football but the entire country stops and listens.  Sanders carries a monstrous following and influence.

So when the prolific social media optimizer and football Icon spoke about the Raiders and Antonio Pierce, the nation paused.

The NFL legend and college football head coach said, God Bless @Raiders HeadCoach Antonio Pierce!!!! Wow God is good. All he needed was opportunity. Thank u to all the @Raiders players, fans and Faithful for supporting my Brother."

Pierce discussed many legends advocating for him when he said, "Yeah, I'll go back to my statement a few weeks ago, my resume is on the grass. It's being out there every day, that either I'm in front of you gentlemen and ladies, to the grass, to the practice field, to the meetings, to the building. I mean, I'm being evaluated each and every day. And they know what it looks like. They've had some really, really good coaches in their career. They know what it sounds like, looks like, if it's real, if it's fake, if it's just a momentary deal. So, to have their blessings and backing is – obviously, that's humbling."

From February 27 to March 4, 2024, the NFL Scouting Combine will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.

The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently hold the No. 13 overall pick.
