The Dallas Cowboys’ search for their next head coach has been a major topic of discussion in the NFL since the confirmed exit of Mike McCarthy. Although Deion Sanders hasn’t been officially mentioned, his name continues to surface in the conversation.
Ashton Jeanty, who came second in this year’s Heisman Trophy, remarked on what he thinks of Deion Sander potentially joining the Cowboys as their next head coach. The Dallas Cowboys had one of the worst home starts and unwanted media attention all season, and as they head into the offseason are setting their eyes on Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty is all aboard the Cowboys’ train.
In a recent sitdown with Fox News Digital, Jeanty remarked about the possibility of playing for Sanders in Dallas.
I think that would be a real great opportunity. Coach Prime is great at just giving guys opportunity and using them to the best of their abilities. Kind of like Travis Hunter playing both ways. Most coaches wouldn’t do that. I think he would excel at the position.

Jeanty, speaking to Fox News Digital as part of his collaboration with SAXX, also expressed his admiration for Sanders, highlighting him as “a man of faith.”
Obviously, I’m a man of faith. He’s a man of faith. Having my previous head coach be a man of faith is a great thing. Having a great relationship you can see he has with his guys off the field as he does on the field.

Although Jeanty’s glowing praise highlights Sanders’ influence as a coach, the chances of him landing the Dallas job remain low. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, it is “very unlikely” that Sanders will even be interviewed for the role. Nevertheless, the rumors persist, and Jeanty’s remarks only fuel the speculation further.

Last month, Ashton Jeanty partnered with SAXX to promote their men’s underwear line, designed for all-around comfort. Speaking to Fox News Digital, he shared that he never imagined, even in his wildest dreams, that he would become an underwear model.
I didn’t think so, but, you know, things just have a way of happening, and that’s just kind of how it did. You know, good-looking guy, great running back, they want you to model some great underwear, so it just happened. I’m glad it did. It made kind of step outside my box.

In the interview, Jeanty also admitted that it was Las Vegas Raiders DE Maxx Crosby who helped Janty get what could be one of the beginning deals of his career.
Just being a game-changing player on the field, you got to have some game-changing underwear to rock. I thought it was a perfect collab. Design, the comfortability, all that type of stuff, it’s been great partnering with them.
