Well, that was bound to be the pregame locker room hype video of the day. It’s not often you see a guy in tears before putting on sunglasses and dancing in the locker room with his players.
Even though Sanders will be headed elsewhere next season, it’s commendable what he’s done for the Jackson State football team. These intentionally silly pregame hype sessions are one thing, but his legacy with the program feels pretty cemented.
