There may still be some doubts about Deion Sanders' abilities as a head coach, but there's no denying that he attracts attention from everyone. It's because of him that Colorado has become a main topic in the eyes of the national media over the past two college football seasons. And his influence extends beyond the football field.
We have seen countless professional athletes mention "Coach Prime" in some capacity, whether it be on social media or in interviews. One notable athlete that has been vocal about his support for Sanders has been LeBron James. In fact, we have seen James send Coach Prime signature sneakers on several occasions. Now, James has been joined by one of the most recognizable celebrities in sending gifts to Sanders and his team: The Rock.
The Rock and LeBron James send special gifts to Colorado players
Coach Prime addressed the team on Wednesday, telling them they had Papatui skincare products ready for them in their lockers. Papatui is The Rock's brand of men's skincare, and he sent products to Sanders and the whole team.
Sanders also showed off shoes that James sent to the players, the Lebron TR 1. The shoes are meant for training and workouts, and players will have them in the color scheme of the football team.
Some of the players then showed off their new products. They looked particularly happy, which is another reason why Sanders has been able to succeed as a head coach in such little time.
