Alright, so the other day I found myself going down a bit of a rabbit hole, thinking about Deion Sanders Jr. You know, Coach Prime’s oldest son. Not Shedeur, the QB, or Shilo, the safety, but the first one, often called ‘Bucky’. It hit me that while I see his media stuff all the time, I wasn’t actually sure what his own playing stats looked like back in the day. So, I decided to do a little digging, just out of curiosity.
First thing I did was just pop open my computer and type “Deion Sanders Jr stats” into the search bar. Pretty straightforward, right? Well, sort of. The initial results were a bit mixed. Lots of stuff about his dad, naturally, and his brothers who are currently playing. Had to sift through that a bit.
I refined my search, trying things like “Deion Sanders Jr college stats” and “Deion Sanders Jr SMU stats” since I remembered he played there for a while. This started getting me closer. I found mentions of him playing wide receiver and returning kicks, mostly during his time at Southern Methodist University.
My Findings, Such As They Were
Okay, here’s the interesting part. Finding detailed, year-by-year, game-by-game stats like you easily can for current players or established NFL stars? That was tougher than I expected. It wasn’t like pulling up Tom Brady’s career numbers.
What I mostly found were bits and pieces:
- Mention of his role as a receiver and return specialist.
- Some overview stats for his seasons at SMU, but not super detailed breakdowns. Saw some reception numbers, return yards, that kind of thing. Nothing earth-shattering, seemed like he was a solid role player.
- Confirmation he played for a few years before eventually deciding to step away from playing football himself.
Honestly, the search results quickly got dominated by his current work. You know, Well Off Media. It seems like his stats these days are measured more in views and subscribers than receiving yards. And good for him, honestly. He found his lane.
So, the process wasn’t super complicated, just involved some filtering. It wasn’t like there was some hidden treasure trove of stats I unlocked. It was more like confirming he played, got some general numbers for his college time at SMU, and then seeing how much his current media career overshadows his past playing career online. Kinda interesting to see that shift in focus. Took me maybe 15-20 minutes of looking around to get the picture. It’s clear his impact now comes from behind the camera, chronicling the family journey.
