“Getting one of your star players to believe there’s a ceiling much higher at one position than another can be hard to see.”
That’s the intro, narrated by Snoop Dogg, for the section of a documentary on Jackson State football that features Lions draft pick James Houston. The “Coach Prime” series follows Tigers head coach Deion Sanders as he traverses his first season as a college football coach.
Houston transferred from Florida to Jackson State for his final collegiate season. The speedy Houston was an off-ball linebacker for the Gators, but Sanders had a different vision for how the 6-1, 240-pounder could help his new school.
