Deion Sanders explains why this year will be emotional at Colorado
Deion Sanders has been lucky in life. The Hall-of-Famer has coached his sons through their college experience. But all good things must come to an end and Sanders knows he's about to watch Shilo and Shedeur move on to the next chapter in their lives.
The Colorado Buffaloes coach told NBA training ace Chris Matthews this year is going to be "emotional" because it's the last time he'll coach his sons. "Every game is going to be about passion and love," Sanders said. "This is going to be the last time I coach my sons."
There been no secrets about the Sanders Brothers being part of the 2025 NFL Draft class. They're both looking to build off respective career years in Boulder. Many draft analysts have said Shedeur Sanders would be amongst the top three QBs in this year's class, but he's waiting another year and will likely be a top-five pick. The Buffaloes "Grown" passer recently told NFL CMO Tim Ellis to expect him in the league next year. As for Shilo, he told Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank that No. 21 would look good on him.
Matthews took a tour of CU's Champion Center last week. He expressed interest towards working with Shedeur on his game. The two-time Guinness World Record holder is one of the best trainers for shooting accuracy in basketball and could give Sanders a few tips in the pocket. There's a reason why he's called the "Lethal Shooter" by the world's top athletes.
Coach Prime and the Buffs are about halfway through offseason strength and conditioning drills. They'll have a 28-day practice period before the Black and Gold Spring Game on April 27 at Folsom Field.
