Deion Sanders is not only one of the greatest players in NFL history, he’s also one of the best athletes to ever walk the face of the Earth.
On top of that, he’s been a man on a mission to find, inspire, and develop young athletes looking to make a living out of the game of football.
He excelled at Jackson State and is now looking to do the same for a program that wasn’t particularly known for its prowess.

Talking on GoJo and Golic, Riddick called out his critics by stating that no one even cared about Colorado Football before Coach Prime arrived there, so as much as they want to take him down, he wouldn’t bet against him.

Granted, Deion Sanders is a very beloved and popular figure in the sports and entertainment industry, so former players and celebrities are clearly biased in his favor, and they will never talk ill of him.
That’s understandable, and it’s not like he’s given the people any reason to criticize him, either.
However, that cannot stand in the way of objectivity, and if the Buffaloes fail to impress this season, he’ll just have to deal with criticism just like everybody else.
The Buffaloes will look to build off last season’s strong start and avoid collapsing like they did in his first season on the job, and with his son Shedeur and two-way star Travis Hunter leading the way, expectations are higher this time around.
