“JESUS! I had to say that to make Demons tremble and haters agitated. JESUS IS MY LORD & SAVIOR so get use to me proclaiming his name daily. God bless u now please have a blessed day because I am,” Sanders posted.

Coach Prime ‘Really, Really Genuinely Cares About People,’ Says Tim Tebow
Yesterday, ESPN college football analyst and Heisman Trophy winner, Tim Tebow, validated his friend’s character during an interview with Fox News where he shared how Sanders genuinely loves and cares about people.
“I’ve been friends with (Deion) for quite a while now since, honestly, the end of college or early time in the NFL. He was just so encouraging, so supportive, so kind. Always gave me words of encouragement or words of wisdom,” Tebow said. “And, honestly, he would go out of his way to do it in a very nice way. Not just like when cameras are there doing it but behind the scenes.”
The Florida Gators football standout told the story of how he and Sanders did an event last year where Tebow witnessed how Coach Prime loves and genuinely cares about people.
