‘Take Us To The Delivery Room’: Deion Sanders Expresses Anticipation For Pregnant Daughter Deiondra’s Baby

Deion Sanders has more than just football on his mind. The 56-year-old head coach who leads the team Colorado Buffalos in the Big 12 conference is eagerly awaiting a special arrival: its first grandchild!

Her eldest daughter, Deiondra Sanders, announced she is expecting a baby boy, whom the Sanders clan is calling “small engine”As her due date approaches, the excitement continues to build. Recently, she showed off her baby bump and revealed that she is 30 weeks pregnant!

Coach Prime can’t contain his anticipation any longer. He reposted the photo of Deiondra’s baby bump on his Instagram story with a funny caption: “Take your baby! We don’t have much time left. Yes yes yes, I mean… lololol My baby is going to take us to the delivery room if they let her.” While her boyfriend, R&B singer Jacquees, will be present for the birth, Deion’s comment hints at her (unrealistic?) hope that he will be included.

Even if Deion was hoping to be present in the delivery room, that seems less likely. She also may not want him involved in planning her baby’s future.

Deion Sanders looks ahead to the future of the ‘little engine’

Deion Sanders may have to postpone his dream of coaching his first grandchild. For months, Deion has joked about the baby’s potential size, considering that Deiondra and his boyfriend Jacquees are both about 5’6″. Deiondra’s revelation about the baby’s long arms during anatomy exam has raised optimism for a future athlete in the “big Sanders” tradition.

After the gender reveal party, Coach Prime was even more excited for the “The Sanders boy.” Soon he declared enthusiastically: “We already have him enrolled in soccer lessons!” However, Deiondra had a different vision for her son’s future. During a Q&A on June 25, she stressed that her family wanted her son to play football. But she firmly added: “I don’t want my son to play football because it’s very dangerous.”

It seems that the future of the “little engine” is still up in the air within the Sanders family. Let’s hope that this difference of opinion will not cause problems before the baby arrives.
