Deion Sanders' real life sounds like the logline for a sitcom, so it's a good thing we'll be able to see it play out on his new Own reality series, "Deion's Family Playbook."
The former NFL player is raising ten children and coaching football at the inner-city charter school he co-founded, Prime Prep. The series premieres Saturday (March 1) on Own, but you can watch the first five minutes of the new show below.
"These days I'm trying to be the best single dad ever. In addition to my own five kids, I'm helping raise five more," he says in the show's intro. The first few minutes introduce us to several of Sanders' kids, including 11-year-old Shedeur, a.k.a. Grown, who's nervous about starting at his dad's school without knowing anyone there.
"Deion's Family Playbook" airs Saturday nights at 10 p.m. Et/Pt on Own.
