The ongoing war of words between Deion Sanders and Nick Saban took an interesting turn Friday as the Jackson State coach continued his quest to set the record straight.
Sanders made an appearance on the I AM ATHLETE podcast to discuss the Alabama coach’s remarks from Wednesday when Saban claimed JSU “paid a guy a million dollars last year” to play for the school, a widely-presumed reference to top recruit Travis Hunter. The Pro Football Hall of Famer said it “stung” to hear the legendary coach accuse his program of buying players, and questioned why his resume doesn’t qualify him to coach a player of Hunter’s stature.
