In 2004, Baltimore Ravens Legend Ray Lewis, as well as Coiny Fuller’s Coin Half and a friend of Deion Sanders, named Joe Zorovich, convinced the prison hours to get out of retirement and play for another NFL team. During the 2004 and 2005 seasons, Neon Deion played in 26 games for the Ravens, starting six, recording ten defended passes and five interceptions.
He even had a pic-six while wearing this Ravens n ° 37 jersey (denoting his age at the time when he signed his two-year contract) before hanging up his crampons for good. His days of play, Deion found a second act in life as a commentator, a figure of pop and pitchman culture of prolific product. (Seriously, watch any university football match, and you will see that all third or fourth announcements present Sanders.) Apparently.)

However, it is actually the ranks of college football coaches where Deion Sanders enjoys a very successful second act in life.
Friday, the University of Colorado announced an extension of contract for “Coach Prime”.
“The Prime coach has revolutionized university football and, in doing so, restored Cu football for our legitimate place as a national power”, “,” said Sports director of the Colorado University, Rick George, via a press release.
“This extension recognizes not only the incredible achievements of the coach transforming our program on and off the field, but he maintains him to boulder to compete for the conference and the national championships in the years to come.”

According to several reports, Sanders will sign an agreement which will pay him $ 54 million over five years, or about nine million per Year, which makes him one of the best paid coaches in university football. According to Ft. Worth Star-Telegram Dallas Cowboys beat journalist Nick Harris, the value of the entire contract exceeds the total amount won by prime hours during his career as a player NFL and MLB.
It is quite remarkable when you consider how Sanders went to eight pro bowls with five different teams and won a defensive player prize for the year of the NFL during his stay in the League. The New Deal, which will make him among the best paid in university football, will inevitably attract a lot of criticism, and it is understandable.
During his two years in Colorado, Sanders had a global record of only 13-12, 8-10 at a conference. However, the school will indicate the economic impact of the football program, due to all the attention of the too excessive media that the coach receives.
