Shedeur Sanders continues to take steps toward the NFL, preparing for the next chapter of his life.

While hes been putting in work on the field and training his body for the pre-draft process, hes also making changes off the field.

One of those changes? A fresh haircutone that his father, Deion Sanders, absolutely loathed at first sight.

Coach Prime didnt think his son looked fly in his new haircut.

So what did Shedeur get that Deion found so offensive? Shedeur got some cornrows.

Prime continued to recite bible verses, trying to set his son on a righteous path and remove his braids.

These cornrows come as a surprise since Shedeur previously stated his intention to not change the professional look he adopted in his final season of college.

He wanted to focus on football, calling his last year in college a business year.

Thats why he gave up the long, twisted braids he kept at Jackson State and during his first year in Colorado.

But why is Deion so opposed to his son having cornrows considering he had a similar hairstyle once during his days in the NFL? Deion Sanders throwback cornrows Its hard to imagine Coach Prime with a thick head of hair considering he has been somewhat bald look for a very long time now.

But the 90s were a glorious time for him.

He was winning Super Bowls and had a head full of hair.

He always had a penchant for flair which added to his Prime Time persona along with his larger-than-life personality.

Deion didnt shy away from keeping different styles to catch the medias attention which one time included cornrows and braids.

He didnt shy away from making bold statements which added to his charisma.

He also sported a perm and in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Sanders rocked the jerry curls.

Coach Prime also kept a mullet-style cut.

Interestingly, despite having the confidence to pull off any look, he never had an afro or dread.

However, it all went downhill in his early 30s when his hair started to give up on him.

Therefore, he started wearing hats but finally decided to embrace the bald look.

But Deion also wanted to restore his hairline and looked for different solutions to combat the hair loss but nothing worked.

He finally decided to get a hair transplant in 2017 after dealing with issues that come with baldness and it was successful.

Now, he is no longer bald.

Shedeur cant predict his future in the NFL or whether hell have a career like his father, but theres one thing he can count ongoing bald.

That much is inevitable..
