‘Coach Prime was my childhood coach,’ Edwards said.
NFL Hall of Famer Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders is reuniting with a former player, not from Jackson State University, but from his Truth Youth League in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Braylon Edwards has committed to play for Coach Prime at the University of Colorado Boulder.
“Coach Prime was my childhood coach… him and a few more on the staff. I started playing for him when I was five years old,” Edwards told BuffStampede.com. “I traveled the country playing ball with him. I also was with him in Canton when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. So it feels like a full reunion.”
A photo of the two from over a decade ago made its way to social media.

Edwards stated that he is versatile and can and will play any defensive position Coach Prime asks him to. He is slated to play safety.
“I’ll bring versatility and physicality,” Edwards said. “I can play all positions in the secondary, so I’ll do anything asked of me.”
