Deion Sanders appears to be brushing off any talk about his training Dallas Cowboysbut one of his former teammates hasn't bought it yet.
Pro Football Hall of Famer, who currently coaches at University of Coloradoalmost all confirmed reports that he had a conversation with Jerry Jones about the open position in Dallas.
Sanders told ESPN the opportunity is “interesting. But I love Boulder and everything about our team, the coaches, the student body and the community.”

However, Sanders' former teammate, Darrell Johnston, said his chances of heading to the Lone Star State are “legitimate.”
It's not as easy as it sounds, considering Sanders said last week that he wouldn't consider coaching in the NFL unless he teamed up with his sons.
“I think if Dion were to come here, because it seems like his plan is in place — he wants to coach his son, Sheder, in the NFL. I don't know if that's going to happen in Dallas,” Johnston said. “Hot Mic” for OutKick. “It's going to require a lot of different things to happen.”

Johnston also mentioned something rather important, which is that they already have Dak Prescott.
“To me, that wouldn't be a smart thing to do. I think you should have that conversation up front and say 'Listen, I know what your plan is, but we don't see that working.' So if we're going to come here, we don't really see how Chidiur is going to be a part of this journey moving forward,” Johnston said. “You should talk about everything that's been talked about. I think it's not a good idea going forward for the franchise to try to make a move that puts you in a position to bring in Shedeur as your quarterback when you have Dak Prescott.”
Chidior, of course, could be him No. 1 pick in the NFL draftWhile Dallas currently holds twelfth place.
