Nicknamed "Prime Time" during his NFL career, Deion Sanders' speed and force helped cement him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2011.
Over the last few years, Sanders has used what he learned on the field to become known as "Coach Prime" — also the name of an Amazon Original docuseries about him and the Jackson State University Tigers. He is credited with turning the football team around, helping the historically black university win two SWAC titles and recruiting some of the country's top players.
He told "CBS Mornings" what has made him successful as a coach is surrounding himself with other coaches who are "really good" and understand relationships — "and not allowing the kids to coach us, but we're implementing those old-school principles."
