NFL legend Terrell Owens drops cryptic 1-word reaction as Coach Prime thanks his late stepfather for introducing him to fishing

Colorado coach Deion Sanders, aka "Coach Prime," has presided over a stellar 9-4 season with the Buffaloes after the team lost 36-14 to the BYU Cougars in the Alamo Bowl. With the departure of his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, to the NFL, the Buffs coach has a major rebuilding job on his hands.

After the winter transfer portal closed, the Colorado coach has taken the time to indulge in fishing, which is one of his favorite hobbies by his own admission. In an Instagram post of himself fishing on Friday, Sanders paid tribute to his late stepfather, Willie J. Knight, for introducing him to it.

He captioned the post:

"Lord I thank u for my Late Stepfather whom introduced me to fishing. We fished with CanePoles but nevertheless we fished. Now I’m fishing with @abugarcia_fishing on my own Lakes. @jayyo26 God is INCREDIBLE. #BassiePrime #LakePrime #LakeTime & #LakeWillieJKnight," Coach Prime wrote.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens left a cryptic comment in the comments section of Sanders' post.

"Scootie!!!!!!!" Owens wrote.

When Coach Prime narrated childhood fishing tale with stepfather

During a June interview on "The Joel Klatt Show," Coach Prime told an anecdote of his childhood when he was fishing with his stepfather, Willie J. Knight, that inspired his love for owning homes with lakes.

“I’m just letting you in on the way I think. And we’re cane pole fishing. You can’t go nowhere with a cane pole… And a boat came by, and it was a couple of gentlemen in this beautiful boat," Coach Prime said (14:10). "My stepfather looked at them and he just went back to fishing.

“What is the thought of most people? ‘Dang, if I was in that boat, I could fish a lot farther and I can have access to different places.'

“You know what the little young Prime thought? I want the lake. Forget the boat. I want the lake. ‘Cause if I got the lake, I can do whatever the heck I want to do. And I’ve never owned a home since then, since my adulthood life, without a lake. That’s just my thought process, man. Some people settle with a little bit of it. I want it all, man."

Coach Prime loves to fish so much that the charismatic Colorado coach was arrested in 1996 when he was still a Dallas Cowboys player for fishing on a restricted Southwest Florida International Airport lake. Facing a misdemeanor charge due to previous warnings from the authorities against fishing in the lake, he paid a fine of $1,000 and got to keep his catch.
