Deion Sanders is once again trending, this time because an old interview clip has fans doing double takes over just how much he looked and sounded like his son, Shedeur Sanders.
A resurfaced post on X quickly gained traction after users pointed out the striking resemblance, with many saying the younger Sanders is practically a mirror image of his father.
Deion Sanders old interview resurfaces
The viral clip comes from an appearance David Letterman made during Sanders’ early Atlanta Falcons years. Based on the events discussed in the interview, the appearance can be dated to the 1990 NFL season, likely around September 1990.
In the interview, Sanders is introduced as being in his second NFL season with the Atlanta Falcons, and the team is said to be 1-2 after a close loss to San Francisco.
He also discussed playing baseball for the New York Yankees and the possibility of joining the Atlanta Braves in the spring. Those details line up with the 1990 timeline, when Sanders was actively balancing both sports.
That makes the clip roughly 35 years old, which only made the online reaction stronger.
