Deion Sanders Jr.’s Wish Comes True as $316K CU Prodigy Makes Bold Move Before NFL Draft

When the tables turn, accountability speaks volumes. A standout wide receiver with a $316k NIL valuation, who is sixth all-time in catches, always shows up healthy, creates effortless separation, and leaves defenders in the dust. With his explosive speed, sure hands, and dynamic return ability, this Colorado Buffs star is every quarterback’s dream. And you can bite Deion Sanders Jr. for fiercely defending his talented teammates against NFL officials for missing out on him. But it seems his words didn’t fall on deaf ears.

However, Deion Sanders Jr. isn’t shy about speaking up against injustice. This time, he aimed his frustration squarely at Roger Goodell’s NFL. Taking to X, he fired off a question that made waves: “Where’s @la_wester Combine Invite @NFL?.” He wasn’t just talking, he was shouting LaJohntay Wester’s name from the rooftops—the Buffs’ star receiver everyone was ignoring. But sometimes, the universe works in mysterious ways. Wester got the invite, and the joy was palpable. Even Bucky couldn’t contain his excitement, taking to Instagram to share the news, dropping a heartfelt caption: “God is good.”

For those who have been following Coach Prime’s Buffs this season, you have surely come across the name LJ Wester. After transferring from FAU, where he earned First-Team All-Conference honors and was named AAC Special Teams Player of the Year, Wester wasted no time in making a strong impression in Boulder. His explosive playmaking abilities immediately established him as one of the most reliable weapons in an offense that is already packed with talent.

Despite standing at 5’11″ and weighing 167 pounds, Wester may not fit the typical NFL receiver profile, but his numbers speak for themselves. In 2024, he accumulated 931 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, placing him just behind Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. His ability to take control of games when it mattered most made him an invaluable asset to Coach Prime’s offense, often leaving defenders struggling to keep up with his dynamic playing style.

However, despite his dominance on the field, surprisingly, the NFL Combine overlooked Wester. But now that he has received an official invite, it seems that Deion Sanders Jr. has actually made a difference. After all, how can someone ignore such a talented player? It’s also worth noting that this isn’t the first time Bucky has done something for his boys.

Deion Sanders Jr. standing up for his boys

Well, this is not the first time Deion Sanders Jr. stood up against the wrong. We all know that the NFL Draft rumor mill is already on fire, even with three months to go before the 2025 draft. And of course, the misinformation train is right on schedule. A few weeks back, a fake account on X sparked chaos with a wild rumor about potential No. 1 pick Shedeur Sanders, claiming he had “no interest” in playing for the Cleveland Browns or Tennessee Titans. That’s quite a bold statement to make.

Now, who’s the actual culprit? It’s Wesley Steinberg, a notorious troll account that loves duping fans with fake news almost every weekend. But this time, the rumor hit way too close to home for the Sanders family, and that’s Shedeur. And when it comes to family, Bucky never forgives anyone. Even this time, Deion Sanders Jr. didn’t let it slide. He then gave a sharp and simple response saying, “Cap,” sealed with a hat emoji.

That’s not it. Remember the time when Shilo Sanders kept grinding through challenges? Well, while playing against Kansas State, he notched six tackles and one assist. Then, he again showed his resilience versus Arizona, adding three tackles and an assist. It was a tough time for him recovering from surgery; taking a hit on the field, all came at once. However, when Shilo shared a photo on Instagram with the caption, “Road 2 glory,” Deion Sanders Jr. was the first one to motivate him by commenting, “The chosen 1” & “Legendary.”

Moreover, this guy also stood for the Buffs’ next generation. As Deion Sanders Jr. gave Julian Lewis’s post a shout-out on X, calling him a “Young Legend.” This reveals the extent of Bucky’s affection for his Buffs family. With drafts and the offseason taking over the stage, let’s see what’s new for the Buffs.
