Watching Deion Sanders, now the football coach at Jackson State, on ‘‘60 Minutes’’ on Sunday reminded me of my first meeting with the man who now calls himself ‘‘Coach Prime.’’
It was 1987. Sanders was a senior at Florida State and was ‘‘Neon Deion’’ back then. The undefeated Seminoles were preparing to play undefeated Miami for what likely would be a straight shot to the national championship (it was), and Sanders was resting in the weight room before practice.
