Deion Sanders is many things: Former star athlete, celebrity, football commentator and head coach. He’s also been a pitchman for Aflac, alongside Alabama head coach Nick Saban.

And ahead of a big showdown versus USC this Saturday, the Colorado head coach was gifted a kitted-out golf cart from the insurance company. It’s even got “Aflac” and “Coach Prime” logos on the grill, hood and tail gate.

“I’m loving Aflac right now,” Sanders said in an Instagram video of him getting the golf cart.

Further, it’s got gold rims, a built in cooler, storage space beneath and behind rear seating, and is styled to look like a pickup truck. It also appears to have a sound system, among other amenities for the drivers and passengers to ride in supreme comfort and style.

To cap it off, the word “Prime” appears to be embossed into the pattern, with the dark-on-dark pattern popping in the sunlight.

The Aflac duck is similarly adorned on the side of Sanders’ new ride, subtly standing out on a golf cart covering in bells and whistles.

Colorado plans to come out swinging on Saturday

Sanders and the Buffaloes have faced a lot of pressure in the early part of the season, something the former superstar player knows all too well. But he doesn’t think his team should be receiving pressure.

Instead, he told the panel of Fox Sports’ “Undisputed” on Friday’s episode, they should be sending pressure in the other direction.

“We shouldn’t be receiving pressure,” Sanders said. “Let’s apply pressure. That’s the way we gotta go about it. You apply pressure.”

Colorado started the season 3-0 with three high profile victories over TCUNebraska and Colorado State. But Oregon knocked the Buffaloes back down to Earth somewhat with a dominant blowout victory last week in Eugune.

The eyes of the country will still be on Colorado this week as they now welcome Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams and USC to town for a highly-anticipated matchup.

If Sanders gets his way, his team will come out with one foot on the gas ready to put the pressure on the Trojans from the jump.

“We don’t sit back,” Sanders said. “We hit. We swing first because we know it’s going down. We just need to come out there with the one foot back already ready to let it go. That’s how we got to function because we’re not just hunting, we’ve been the hunted. So when you hunt, you gotta go get it. You gotta go get it. I love that we have a multitude of guys that are gonna go get it, and I know the areas that we need to improve on that we’re gonna get the guys that’s gonna go get it.”
