Russell Wilson Dresses Up As Coach Prime for Halloween

While kids around the country are enjoying getting dressed up for Halloween, Denver quarterback Russell Wilson decided to join in on the fun.

Wilson shared photos from the team's Halloween party on X, formerly known as Twitter, where the Super Bowl XLVIII champion dressed as Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders.

The nine-time Pro Bowl signal-caller came close to nailing his “Coach Prime” costume, wearing a white Colorado "Prime" hoodie, a black cowboy hat and gold sunglasses. 

However, Wilson was sporting a No. 3 diamond pendant (his own jersey number) around his neck, as opposed to wearing Sanders familiar Catholic cross or coaching whistle.

After back-to-back wins over the Packers and Chiefs, Wilson and the Broncos head into their have a bye on a high note.

Colorado football praised Wilson's costume on social media, while other college football fans dressed up their kids and dogs as Coach Sanders, some even carving pumpkins in his likeness.
