DeSean Jackson Reveals Surprising Impact of Deion Sanders on His Coaching Ambitions
“And I’ll tell you this, I know a lot of people say, ‘Coach Prime, Coach Prime.’ I respect him. And he’s gave us guys like myself an opportunity. I’m going to do it differently than Prime, I’m going to do it the Coach Jackson way.”
He also pointed out another inspiration for his coaching journey: his brother and mentor, Travis Clark.
“Not necessarily. I will say, me being able to get inspired from coaching came from having the opportunity to go coach with my older brother, my mentor, Coach Clark. He’s been coaching in high school for the past 25 years. And every step of my, my college career and my NFL career, I’ve always kept an eye on seeing what he, what he’s able to install in these young men. And I respected it and what he installed in me. So last year I went and coached with him and I regained a different love for football, like the void that I’m missing of catching touchdowns now.”
