In the course of a 10-minute appearance on The Tonight Show Thursday in New York, Colorado football coach Deion Sanders urged Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to run for president, advised Caitlin Clark to “finish strong” and said the coming football season will be a tough for him emotionally because it will be his last year coaching his sons in college.
Sanders, 56, made his appearance as part of a national tour this week to promote his new book entitled “Elevate and Dominate.” By the time it was over, Jimmy Fallon, the show’s host, had Sanders on his feet coaching life-size cut-out photographs of The Rock, as well as Clark, the Iowa basketball star, and Jason Kelce, who recently retired from the NFL.

I need you to dominate like you’ve never dominated before. And unapologetically, girl, I need you to be you!”
