Deion Sanders is known as a wise man, a father figure to hundreds of kids, and a coach today. However, when he was better known as ‘Primetime’, he was a different individual. Sanders was one of the more fashionable athletes in the NFL and his swagger knew no bounds. He used to show up in some unique designs, with a chain or two hanging down his neck, a pair of shades, and a flip phone by his ear. Young Prime was different.
He had this unexplainable aura around him which resulted in women going weak in their knees for him. Deion Sanders was the heartthrob for not just women but even high school girls. On the latest episode of We Got Time Today, Coach Prime discovered that he was the crush of a prominent female wrestler.
Former WWE wrestler Brie Garcia revealed that Deion Sanders was her high school celebrity crush.
Well, it was actually middle school and it was you Deion. You were my first celebrity crush…You were my first crush. You kind of had that bad boy attitude, I loved it!

As soon as Sanders found out about this, he ended up hugging her and had to confirm, “Is this play play or is this for real?” because he found it hard to believe.
Brie Garcia hails from a family of die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fans
The WWE wrestler’s preference of players got her in trouble. Her grandfather, father, and family were loyal fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. The team vouched for the team to win and in between all this, Brie Garcia was running around with a Deion Sanders jersey blatantly supporting the team’s arch-rival, the Dallas Cowboys!
This did result in a few awkward moments in the family as Garcia reveals. However, she was a huge fan of Primetime as was the rest of America at that time.
There were just three individuals whom she looked up to, Gwen Stefani, Deion Sanders, and Shania Twain. Her room was filled with posters of these three and she recalls having more than one poster of Sanders. The star corner had a successful run with the Dallas Cowboys after having played for the Atlanta Falcons and the San Francisco 49ers. He was part of the Super Bowl XXX squad, the last time the Cowboys won a Lombardi trophy in 1996.
