Deion Sanders wants to finance a staff member's bid to increase height.

Deion Sanders has a great relationship with everyone working with him, be it players, coaches or support staff. Recently, he was seen talking to a member of his support staff in Boulder.

Sanders took to Instagram to share a video of his conversation with a member of his support staff in the Buffaloes football program. Sanders offered to finance Jockey's surgery, which would extend his height from 5-foot-4 to at least 5-foot-9.

“He’s 5’4”. We wanna at least get him to 5’9” 5’10”. It could happen, we’ve been thinking about it, contemplating it and I’m gonna help him finance it,” Sanders said.

Jockey was all about gaining his height, so he accepted the offer right away. He also stated that it would be beneficial for him if his height increased by a few inches to 5-foot-6. It remains to be seen whether Coach Prime follows through on his promise and fans get to see a taller Jockey in the future.
