Ice Cube says he wants to produce Deion Sanders movie

Ice Cube has never been afraid of trying new ideas. The hip-hop legend and owner of the BIG3 basketball league is also a devout NFL fan. While his history goes back to being a longtime Raiders fan, there's one player he admired coming up in the late 80s. The electrifying "Prime Time" AKA Deion Sanders.

While promoting the new 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' movie, the former N.W.A. rapper admitted he wants to put together a movie on the Colorado Buffaloes head coach. But he also wants to take on a project centered around Bo Jackson, too. At least, that's what he told CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin.

"I mean, Deion Sanders is actually my friend, so I would probably wanna do a movie on Deion before Bo. And both of them were amazing athletes, but Deion, he's played in a World Series and a Super Bowl, so I think the movie should go to him (first)."

Cube told Benjamin he has six projects currently in the works. So, naturally, it might be a little bit before a biopic on Sanders comes to fruition.

Sanders and the Buffs are preparing for a Sept. 2 opener at TCU. Coach Prime's FBS debut will be featured as FOX's Big Noon Saturday game of the week.
