Deion Sanders might have to learn about the rules of a different kind of football for his grandson.

While talking with his daughter about her sonogram picture (starts at 5:55 mark), Sanders joked his grandson is going to be a soccer player.

The Colorado head coach also made a joke that the image said, "Not a football player" and "it says 'Pelé.'"

Deiondra Sanders, Deion's oldest child, announced last week on Instagram she was pregnant with her first child. Her father commented on the post:

"PREACH BABY PREACH, and u having this baby to make me a darn GRANDDADDY even though I'm YOUNG! I Love u baby and I'm glad u said u ain't having a baby to keep a man. You've always had a MAN in your life that u call DADDY & ain't gon ever ever let u DOWN especially when I'm UP."

This will be the first grandchild for Sanders. He has five children, with Deiondra and Deion Jr. being the oldest at 31 and 30, respectively. Shilo, Shedeur and Shelomi are currently student-athletes at the University of Colorado.

Shilo and Shedeur are on the football team coached by their father. Shelomi is a redshirt freshman on the Buffaloes women's basketball team.

In addition to his family expanding, Coach Prime is preparing for his second season with the Buffaloes. He went 4-8 in his first season that included three straight wins to open the year and three weeks in the AP Top 25 poll.

It was Colorado's first time being ranked in the top 25 since the 2020 season.
