Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders has had an eventful career in both football and baseball at the very highest echelons of both sports. He remains the only man to ever appear in both a World Series and a Super Bowl.

Sanders showed that he still had his baseball skills ahead of the MLB All-Star game. He reposted a picture of himself teaching baseball moves to American model Camille Kostek during the All-Star event on his Instagram story.

Deion Sanders the multi-sport athlete

The New York Yankees drafted Deion Sanders in the 30th round of the 1988 MLB Draft and he went on to have a a legendary 16-year-long NFL career and a nine-year baseball career, appearing in 641 games in the latter. He played baseball for the San Francisco Giants, Reds and Braves.

In 1989, he was picked No. 5 overall in the NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons to kickstart a career that would see him win the Super Bowl twice and be regarded as one of the best cornerbacks of all time.

His eventful career was enshrined in ESPN's captivating '30 for 30' series and during an appearance on "First Take" last year, Sanders said that baseball was the hardest sport that he played in his career.

"Hitting that baseball. That baseball ain't no joke. That's why they fail seven out of ten times and still making $300 … $400 million a year," Deion Sanders said.

The charismatic Sanders could have been a three-sport star. During a 2016 Sports Illustrated interview, he revealed that he was in talks to sign with the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA.

"I was close, I mean really close. This is a breaking story. I was really close to playing for the Atlanta Hawks for one game. When I was with the Braves. I don't recall the year. Stan Kasten was the general manager of both teams, the Braves as well as the Hawks. It was going to allow me to play in an NBA game so that I could play three professional sports," Sanders said.

Deion Sanders has continued the meteoric excellence that has characterized his career so far by being a highly visible coach in both the FCS and the FBS where he plans an assault on the major trophies next season.
