Deion Sanders wants newly retired football star Jason Kelce to be ‘as controversial’ as he has ever wanted to be on his ‘New Heights’ podcast with younger brother and NFL star Travis Kelce.

Sanders, Colorado’s head football coach, gave a cardboard cutout of a shirtless Kelce the advice as part of an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon‘, while also promoting his new book: ‘Elevate and Dominate: 21 Ways to Win On and Off the Field’.

Fallon mentioned how Sanders has become known for his pump-up speeches before and during games. The late-night host had the idea for Sanders to give his advice to some in the sports world.

Sanders’ advice giving started with Kelce before moving onto Caitlin Clark and The Rock, before Fallon surprised Sanders with a cardboard cutout of himself.

Earlier this week, ‘New Heights’ won podcast of the year at the iHeart Podcast Awards.

‘Jason, you’ve come to the end of the road baby,’ Sanders started. But guess what? You don’t have to train no more. You don’t have to eat right any more.’

‘You can just let all that go,’ Sanders said pointing to Kelce’s stomach. ‘And I want you to be as controversial as you ever wanted to be on your podcast. I love you, I appreciate you. But baby, it’s time to really be you.’

The cutout used of Kelce is from the Kansas City Chiefs vs Buffalo Bills AFC Divisional round playoff game, where he was in a luxury box with Taylor Swift and others.

Sanders advice to Clark was along the same lines, but he wanted to make sure she finished her college career strong instead of starting to focus on the WNBA.

Three weeks before his in-ring return to professional wrestling, Sanders’ advice to The Rock did not have anything to do with Hollywood or the WWE.

‘It’s time for you to step up to the plate and take it to the next level,’ Sanders said. ‘I need you to run for office. I need you to be the President of the United States of America.’

Sanders’ led Colorado to a 4-8 record in his first season in charge of the Buffaloes.

As Colorado heads back to the Big 12, Sanders will look to lead it to bowl eligibility in a full season for the first time since 2016.
