Jackson State head coach and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders wants to make sure his players look respectable during the school year.
Before the first day of school, Sanders told his players that he didn’t want to see them in no sleeveless shirts, slides, or wifebeaters in class.
“No slides (sandals). No slides. No armpits exposed. No wifebeaters,” “Sit in the front of the classroom and be the perfect gentleman because when it comes down to it, and you need help, that professor is going to recall your character and who you’ve been consistently in that class.
“No slides, no sleeveless shirts, no armpits, none of that.”
Sanders also told his players that he didn’t want to hear complaints from professors while players represented the team.
“Make sure you shower before you go to class,” Sanders continued. “I don’t want to get a report that you was in some bull-junk in our apparel, representing us. Kids in the back of class making noise, he’s free-styling to the whole class while I was trying to teach it with a Jackson State football shirt on. Not going to happen.
“When it gets back to me … it’s going to be a problem.”
