Sanders won't follow sons to NFL, has 'work to do' at Colorado​

Colorado coach Deion Sanders reiterated his commitment to the Buffaloes program after the spring game Saturday, saying he had no plans to leave to follow his sons to the NFL.

Sanders made his comments after his second spring game as Colorado head coach, in which his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, played a handful of series during a one-hour scrimmage on a cold, wet day. Shedeur and Shilo are set to play their final collegiate seasons, with Shedeur projected to be one of the top quarterbacks available in the 2025 NFL draft.

Colorado has picked up multiple commitments from prospects in the class of 2025, including two on Saturday. Sanders was asked what he tells players and parents in future classes about questions regarding his long-term future at Colorado.

"I tell them the truth," Sanders said. "I tell them I'm a father, not a baby daddy. I don't follow my kids. I pave roads for my kids. I build generational wealth for my kids. I lead my kids. I don't follow my kids. So I do not plan on following my kids to the NFL. I have work to do here.

"I absolutely love it here, and I would never think a young brother from the South would really love it in this part of the country, but I really do. ... The fan base that we have here ... I just want to really bless you with a tremendously successful team. I really do. That's my heart."

Colorado had several recruits and portal prospects in attendance Saturday, with plans to add more players in the coming days and weeks. Coach Sanders said he has no sales pitch to prospects considering coming to play for him.

"I don't have anything to sell," he said. "I don't sell them dreams. I don't sell them hope. I tell them everything they get, they're going to have to earn. I don't promise you a number. I'm not promising you a position. I'm not promising you to start. We don't sugarcoat anything. We're not babying you. We're not going to hold your hand. You have 127 years of NFL experience up under this roof. It's on you."

They're a fucking circus. I guess their theory is to make enough noise off the field to distract from the inadequacies on it. I guess Prime Jr is a pretty good player, but his old man seems like he's in over his head. I don't care what his record was at Jackson State, you ain't in the FCS now, pal.

I think they believe the whole “all publicity is good publicity” mindset.

But hey we are here talking about them. So guess it’s working for them lol

It’s because all their draft worthy players are still on the roster. They are stacked! Stacked I tell you! Overlook this team at your own peril! Where did I put my sunglasses?

Second game of the season has them in Lincoln. I hope corn makes a game out of it. I don’t know how the remains of the big twelve are going to shake Out. Would be nice if the bearcats could go into Boulder and get the win. I could see him winning 9 or ten games his year so the question becomes is that enough to get into the playoffs?

Deion Sanders, Colorado football is like 'empty swag burger with no meat', media says​

The hottest takes surrounding Colorado's tumultuous and transfer portal-heavy spring.​

It has been an eventful offseason to say the least for Colorado football and second-year coach Deion Sanders, who recently pushed back against naysayers skewering his program. The Buffaloes hold a top-10 transfer class for 2024 with 38 commits, but saw 41 players leave the team, including a couple of starters expected starters in April.

Reaction and opinions are widespread for one of college football's most polarizing programs. Sanders openly defended his roster decisions and continues to push forward with high-end expectations coming off a losing season as the leader of a team anchored by quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter, two athletes projected to go in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Most aren't buying Colorado being better in 2024, however.

"It's like an empty swag burger. Like a swag burger with no meat, no cheese, no nothing on that," Ringer personality Van Lathan said on Sunday's Bill Simmons podcast. "No protein. Just all condiments. You dress it up but there's nothing in the middle of it. It's getting to the point right now where it's a little embarrassing. If they limp into another 4-8 season, it's going to be embarrassing in a big way."
