Two-time SUPER BOWL champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders tackles an undercover mission to reward youth football coaches and give back to his community, on UNDERCOVER BOSS: CELEBRITY EDITION, Friday, June 1 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. While in Dallas posing as an older gentleman who wants to start coaching, Sanders finds two amazing youth football coaches who are giving their all to programs for children in low income communities. Also, he lets his guard down when tasked with leading a choir of homeless people, including a remarkable young man who is taking college classes, despite his circumstances.
