There was once a time when Deion Sanders would high step into the end zone for touchdowns. But don't expect him to take his moves to the dance floor of ABC's hit show "Dancing with the Stars" in this lifetime. 

The Colorado Buffaloes coach revealed in a recent episode of Tubi's "We Got Time Today" why it won't happen. However, it hasn't stopped him from fielding offers.

"When you take that show, it's over," Sanders said. "Your career is over." He went on to explain his logic on the situation and why he won't participate. "They've asked me several times. No, because I'm not a dancer. I'm a mover. I can't dance. It's one thing to move. But I'm not a dancer."    

Sanders marches to the beat of his own drum and always will. This is not different. 

As for the show's current lineup, ABC announced the Season 34 cast on Wednesday.

Hilaria Baldwin, Jordan Chiles, Baron Davis, Dylan Efron, Corey Feldman, Danielle Fishel, Elaine Hendrix, Scott Hoying, Lauren Jauregui and Andy Richter will be the celebrities hitting the dance floor this fall, as announced on Good Morning America. They'll be joined by the celebrities previously announced with Robert Irwin and Alix Earle, as well as Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck.

The show will be hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough. The duo return for another season of action starting on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
