Deion Sanders is known as one of the best athletes of all time. He is also one of the few people to have done well in two major sports at the same time. He is the only person in history to have played in both the World Series and the Super Bowl. In the same week, he hit a home run in baseball and scored a touchdown in football. Deion is often compared to Bo Jackson, who also plays two sports. Even though Bo never played in the Super Bowl or the World Series, he did play baseball with Deion Sanders five times in 1990. At the height of his career, Deion Sanders was one of the highest-paid players in the world. In the late 1990s, he made between $10 million and $15 million per year from endorsements and contracts with MLB and NFL teams.

Early Years

Deion Luwynn Sanders Sr. was born in Fort Myers, Florida, on August 9, 1967. When he went to North Fort Myers High School, he played football, basketball, and baseball. In each of these sports, he got a letter and was named all-state. In 1985, Deion was chosen to the Florida High School Association All-Century team. This team is made up of the 33 best high school football players in Florida over the past 100 years. The Kansas City Royals picked him in the Major League Baseball draft that same year, but he turned them down.

Career in football

Deion Sanders, who was known as "Prime Time" and "Neon Deion," is one of the few professional athletes to have done well in two big sports leagues. In fact, Deion Sanders is one of the players in sports history who has done the most different things. He played football for Florida State University and was named an All-American winner twice. During college, Deion played basketball and ran track as well. Sanders did not go to any classes or take any final tests during the fall semester of his senior year at Florida State. Instead, he played in the Sugar Bowl. This made the school legislature come up with "the Deion Sanders rule," which says that a state school athlete can't play in a bowl game unless he or she has finished the previous term well.

He was picked up by the Atlanta Falcons and mostly played cornerback in football.  He played for the Atlanta Falcons, the San Francisco 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys, the Washington Redskins (who gave him his biggest contract, worth $56 million over 7 years), and the Baltimore Ravens. He played multiple positions, including cornerback, wide receiver, kick returner, and punt returner. Deion played in the NFL for 14 years. He won two Super Bowls, with the 49ers in XXIX and with the Cowboys in XXX. He also played in nine Pro Bowls, and in 2011 he was admitted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Career in Baseball

Sanders worked part-time as a pro baseball player for nine years. In July of 1988, he signed with the Yankees, but he left to go to NFL training camp instead. On May 31, 1989, he played his first game in the big leagues. Three days after signing a $4.4 million contract, Dion returned his first punt for a touchdown, making him the only athlete to ever do both in the same week.  Deion played baseball for almost a decade on several teams. He started with the New York Yankees but was let go after just one season. He had a little more success with the Atlanta Braves, then played for the Cincinnati Reds in 1997 and the San Francisco Giants after that.

Even though he was a great football player, it was hard for him to play baseball. His attitude didn't fit with the more traditional way the game was played, and he often got into fights on the field and in front of the camera. He was the only person to ever play in both a Super Bowl and a World Series. He played in one World Series with the Braves in 1992, which was his best year for both sports. In 2001, he gave up baseball.

Coaching Your Job and Pay

On December 5, 2022, it was revealed that Deion would be the new head football coach at the University of Colorado. With the news, it came out that Deion had signed a deal to join the team for 5 years and $29.5 million. That comes out to a salary of $5.9 million per year.

Work Besides Endorsements

During his career, Deion was in a lot of ads for big brands like Nike, Pepsi, Sega, Burger King, American Express, and Pizza Hut.

Sanders wrote a book called "Power, Money, and Sex: How Success Almost Ruined My Life." It came out in 1989. On MC Hammer's Bust It Records, he put out a rap record called "Prime Time" in 1994. Hammer's "Too Legit to Quit" music video featured Deion, and he also made cameos in several TV shows and movies.

After he won the Super Bowl for the first time in 1995, he was the host of Saturday Night Live. He ran the Miss USA event in 2002. In 2008, he was on the reality show "Deion & Pilar: Prime Time Love." Sanders was on Celebrity Family Feud the same year as Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner, Kris Jenner, Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian.

He also works for free as a football coach at Trinity Christian School Cedar Hill, where his kids go to school. Sanders opened the Prime Prep Academy Charter School in 2012. However, the school shut down in 2015 for legal and financial reasons. From 2014 to 2015, he was the star of Deion's Family Playbook, a reality show about his family on the Oprah Network. After he stopped playing both sports, he started working as a studio reporter for the NFL Network on Sundays and for CBS Sports on Thursdays.

Personal Life

In the years between 1989 and 1998, Deion Sanders was married to Carolyn Chambers. The couple had two kids.

From 1999 to 2013, Deion Biggers-Sanders was his wife. There are three of them. Their split was hard and messy, and it got a lot of attention in the news. She is said to have learned that he filed for divorce after seeing a story on TMZ. The pair made a deal before they got married that said he would pay her $100,000 every year they were married. For them, it was 12 years. As the split went on for a long time, Pilar suggested on a TV show that Deion had hurt her physically during their marriage. Deion sued her for slander because of what she said. He was given a $3 million judgment, but it was later thrown out. In the end, Deion agreed to pay Pilar $10,000 a month for child support and pay $275,000 for her legal fees, on top of what they had already agreed to in their prenuptial agreement.

Sanders started dating the ex-wife of singer Babyface, Tracey Edmonds, in 2012. As of this writing, they are still together, but they have never gotten married.

Sanders asked all professional players in the four biggest sports in 2005 to give $1,000 to help Hurricane Katrina victims. He wanted to raise between $1.5 and $3 million.

Chateau Montclair

In February 2011, Deion put up for sale two of his houses in the Dallas area. The price for one was $7.5 million and the price for the other was a whopping $21 million. The one he put on the market for $21 million is a house with 30,000 square feet called "Chateau Montclair." When he lived there, the 112 acres of land were his. Chateau Montclair was built to order by Deion in 1999. It has 8 bedrooms, a 10-car garage, a movie theater, a bowling alley, a basketball court, a 12-acre lake, a pool room, a barber shop, and more. With 3,000 square feet of living space, a kitchen, and a Jacuzzi, the master bedroom suite alone is bigger than many single-family houses. In 2014, Deion sold Chateau Montclair for $15 million to builders. After that, the property was split up into several lots to make a high-end neighborhood they called "Montclair." The size of Deion's old home was cut from 112 acres to six acres. The smaller Chateau Montclair was put on the market for $14.5 million in 2018, but as of this writing, it has not sold. From the 2018 list, here is a video walk of Chateau Montclair:
