Deion Sanders brings "Sander Claus" to first day of Fall Camp

Deion Sanders is ready to shine.

The Colorado Buffaloes coach kicked off the start of Fall Camp on Wednesday by dancing and motivating his players by saying there's no Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. It's the beginning of a new era in Boulder with Coach Prime's wisdom on full display. He held his first team meeting with a month left in the off-season and rocked the house.

"You believed once upon a time there was a tooth fairy, right? I didn't even teach my kids that. It's me putting that money under the pillow. I didn't give no tooth fairy no credit... that's me," Sanders explained.

"Ain't I right, Shilo? I asked a long time ago, Who's Santa Claus? Me. Ain't no Merry coming down my chimney. I'm going to work my butt off and give him my credit... That's my credit. I'm Santa Claus. I worked my butt off. I did that. I’m not coming in there saying ‘Ho Ho Ho,’ I’m Saying ‘Yo Yo Yo.'"

Sanders is coming off a second surgery to remove blood clots in his leg. Although, you wouldn't be able to tell that by the way he moved. The 55-year-old Prime was confident and says he'll be ready to run behind Ralphie to start the season.

Colorado opens the season with TCU on Sept. 2. They'll welcome Nebraska and Colorado State at home before starting Pac-12 play with Oregon on Sept. 23. It's one of the toughest schedules in the nation with the Buffs meeting with last year's runner-up and facing USC with Heisman hopeful Caleb Williams.
