$45 million worth Deion Sanders blesses Colorado players with his unique gift ahead of Week 1 showdown

Before the 2024 season's first game, Deion Sanders, who has a net worth of $45 million as per Celebrity Net Worth, announced a special gift for his players. Following his post on social media where Coach Prime was looking for local banks to form a business relationship with some of his players, Elevations Credit Union took the opportunity at hand.

As per reports, they opened new bank accounts for players in Colorado who have kids. Furthermore, each of these accounts will start off with $2,121 to help the future generations of these players. Coach Prime talked about the joy of being a father and shared some insights about parenting.

"Want y'all know ain't like y'all in trouble," Sanders said. "You ain't done nothing wrong. Matter of fact you did something right. And a child is not a mistake. A child is an opportunity to mature you, grow you, advance you and give you some skills...."

Following Deion Sanders' speech, a representative from Elevations Credit Union came up on stage to reveal the surprise to the team. Apart from being a leader on the field, Coach Prime is doing everything in his power to look after the well-being of his players and their families as well.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes will kickstart their Big 12 journey on August 29. The Buffs are scheduled to face the ND State Bison in their season opener.
