Troy Aikman surprises Deion Sanders before his Jackson State football coaching debut

There was an unexpected reunion before Jackson State football's season opener on Sunday in Jackson, Mississippi.

Ahead of Deion Sanders' first game as a college football coach, his former Dallas Cowboys teammate, quarterback Troy Aikman, surprised Sanders on the field with a hug and conversation.

Aikman and Sanders played together on the Cowboys from 1995-99 and won the 1995 Super Bowl. 

Aikman, a longtime NFL analyst with Fox Sports, received a COVID-19 test before heading down to the field.

Sanders' JSU coaching debut was set to kick off at 2 p.m. ET against Edward Waters at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium.
