DENVER (KDVR) - On Friday, coach Deion Sanders for the University of Colorado Buffaloes received the greatest birthday gift: the birth of his first grandchild.

Aug. 9 now marks two birthdays for the Sanders family: Deion and his grandson.

Ahead of season two for the Buffs, Coach Prime held a press briefing on Friday, where he also mentioned that his daughter, Deiondra Sanders, had a baby boy earlier in the day.

Coincidentally, it was also Sanders' birthday.

"That's how good God is. God would choose me on my birthday, for my daughter, of my kids, to have their first child, first time I'm a grandfather, on my birthday. Do you understand how beautiful that is? How much of a blessing that is?" said Sanders during a press briefing on Friday.
