Deion Sanders explains why chasing the biggest offer can cost young athletes far more than money: “The first mistake they make is chasing the bag instead of chasing the game. "Chase the game.” “The game has the bag. Don’t chase the bag. The bag doesn’t have the game.” “Chase the game, because the bag is going to sustain you for a moment. The game is going to maintain you forever.” “They’re chasing the wrong thing. I’d rather chase a place that’s going to give me the game. That’s going to teach me how to be a man. That’s going to teach me about money. That’s going to hold me accountable. And make sure I’m disciplined. Not just give me the bag.” “Because that’s going to run out. You’re one or two years in, and you’re not in an environment preparing you for the next level.” “You’re chasing NIL instead of the NFL. That’s not the right thing. I’ve never chased money in my life.” “I’ve chased greatness. And guess what came with greatness?” “The money.”
