NFL Exec: Deion Sanders 'Can Be Hard to Work For,' May Not Resonate with Pro Players

There's no denying Deion Sanders' ability as a college head coach, but there are some concerns within the NFL about his style resonating with pro players.

One NFL personnel director told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Sanders "can be hard to work for" and his message may not connect with players at the next level.

"He's a good fundraiser and college guys buy into what he sells," the personnel director said. "He's tried to hire good coaches, but [I] have heard that he can be hard to work for. And I'm not sure the NFL guys will be in as quickly and also stay as engaged.
