NFL legend Deion Sanders has become a regular talking point in sports circles lately.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer has done wonders as a head coach at the collegiate level, earning the chance to coach the Colorado Buffaloes after his stint with Jackson State.
Against all odds, Coach Prime has led the Buffaloes to a 3-0 record, and he’s made sure to keep receipts and call out all the doubters every time he gets in front of a mic.
That’s why Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill wanted to take a page out of his book.
When asked about how much it meant to beat the New England Patriots, the former Kansas City Chiefs star claimed that, just like Sanders says, It’s personal (via Sunday Night Football on NBC).

The Dolphins-Patriots rivalry goes back a long way, and they’ve gotten the last laugh lately, going 5-0 when Tua Tagovailoa starts.
Moreover, Hill was also quite critical of Patriots fans after this road win, calling them ‘nasty’ for some of the things they yelled at him during the game.
Hill taunted them by waiving them goodbye as his team got a 24-17 win, and you know he’s not going to be much of a fan favorite in Boston any time soon.
Hill is known for his speed, route-running skills, and playmaking ability, but as good a player as he is, he’s even better as a trash-talker.
No wonder why he loves Coach Prime so much, as Sanders will always call it as he sees it, and won’t mince his words when he feels disrespected.
