Deion Sanders explains viral prayer during Colorado press conference

Colorado football coach Deion Sanders addressed viral footage from a recent press conference in which he appeared to be speaking in tongues. Sanders explained that the vocalizations were a spontaneous prayer intended to help him calm down after a heated meeting with his players following a 52-21 victory over Weber State.

Sanders stated that the practice is not a gimmick or a performance for cameras, but a personal spiritual habit he has utilized throughout his life, including during medical procedures. He emphasized that he uses prayer in the spirit to settle himself and noted that he has practiced this method in various environments throughout his career.
