Deion Sanders’ son, Deion Sanders Jr., has gotten into an online squabble with Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s coach.

Deion Jr., who does not play football but manages social media for his dad, brothers, and the Colorado Buffaloes, is very active on social media, so he must be aware of most of the shots directed at his dad.

He took particular offense after Deshaun Watson’s personal trainer, Quincy Avery, made a joke at Coach Prime’s expense.

Avery picked up on a Sanders comment about not following his sons to the NFL. In it, Sanders mentioned Travis Hunter, suggesting he considers him a son, too.

“On the bright side if he thinks you are good enough he will also consider you one of his son’s!” Avery tweeted.

Deion Sanders Jr. Took Issue With Avery’s Tweet

Deion Jr. was clearly displeased by Avery’s observation and replied to the jibe, referring to the coach as “B*** made.”

Avery has since shot back, calling Deion Jr. his father’s fourth favorite son who’s behind Hunter in the pecking order.

 

“You lashing out because you your pops 4th favorite son? Behind a kid he just met a few years ago & he knew he was good at football,” Avery replied.

“You’re in mid-season form,” a user commented.

“Somebody submit this to the hall of fame cuz gyattttt,” wrote another.

“U n him the same , both weren’t good enough to do what u really wanted to do. Both moved n now successful… Dk why u hating , unless it’s daddy issues,” a third shared.

“Nah you really just comment on everything Deion does tho it’s a lil weird,” someone else noted.

That wasn’t all, either…

Deion Sanders Jr. hadn’t replied as of the time of writing, but he probably will.

Colorado Buffaloes HC Deion Sanders Takes Vicious Shot At Fan Who Called Out His Son Shedeur Sanders On Social Media

When you come at the king — in this case, Colorado Buffaloes football coach Deion Sanders — you best not miss.

Love or hate Deion Sanders, the man has been one of the best trash talkers in the world of sports since he first stepped foot onto the NFL back in 1989. If you’re going to call out “Prime Time”, you better be ready to ready for an even better comeback.

A fan learned this the hard way after taking a shot at Deion’s son, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, on X/Twitter. Here’s how the Pro Football Hall of Famer responded:

Sanders received criticism from fans for this tweet, but he has a point on the first part. Shedeur is widely projected to be one of the first selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, with ESPN’s Mat Miller even ranking him as a top-three QB in the class alongside Georgia’s Carson Beck and Texas’ Quinn Ewers.

Shedeur Sanders had an excellent first year with the Buffaloes despite taking more sacks than any other QB in college during the 2023 season. He completed 69.3 percent of pass attempts for 3,230 yards, 27 touchdowns, three interceptions and four rushing touchdowns.

Deion Sanders Will Never Change Who He Is

Sanders has always been unapologetically outspoken and full of confidence. He has always backed it up on the field as a football player, with two Super Bowl championship rings, eight Pro Bowl nods, 60 career interceptions, and a gold jacket.

Even after his playing career, Sanders has remained entertaining as a personality with his trash talk and energy. Though the results have yet to come as Colorado’s head coach, you just know that he won’t change his way.

No matter how you feel about Sanders, the fact is he’s one of the most interesting and entertaining personalities in the football world. And as this fan learned today, it’s not a good idea to call out Prime Time’s son in a social media setting.
