Coach Prime’s four-star recruit’s performance against the Utah Utes was like unwrapping a mystery box of talent—every layer revealed something even more impressive. The Buffs 49-24 win didn’t just bolster their record to an outstanding 8-2. Reignited the Deion Sanders hype train. But Coach Prime’s postgame victory lap wasn’t just about the scoreboard. It was about a player who had critics eating crow and catching passes—Drelon Miller.

As the Boulder-loving coach often does, make sure to take a metaphorical victory lap after the game. Made some claims about his route surgeon, Drelon Miller. The Hall of Fame DB made an eye-popping comparison. He also took an opportunity to say I told you so.

He wasted no time comparing his breakout freshman to one of the NFL’s most versatile stars. “He’s like Deebo Samuel,” Sanders said of Miller, per DNVR Buffs. “He gives you a variety pack every time you put him out there.” The variety pack? A 47-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter and a game-high 108 receiving yards. Oh, and he’s only a freshman. Sanders wasn’t just bragging; he was setting the record straight for anyone who doubted his recruiting chops. “And I thought we didn’t recruit those.” Hyped after watching the clip, Drelon Miller hopped on X to post “DEEBO”.

Oh, and of course, attracted his idol to embrace the college’s Deebo Samuel. The 49ers #19 commented, “Wassam fam!!!!🤞🏾”. With these claims, he aimed to shut down a bigger critic. Referencing the hecklers who claimed Colorado leaned too heavily on the transfer portal, the #6’s performance served as both a highlight reel and a rebuttal.

The freshman wideout showed the kind of positional versatility Sanders saw in him from day one, playing out wide, in the slot, and even acting as a playmaker in Wildcat formations. Much like Deebo Samuel for the 49ers, Miller isn’t just an athlete; he’s a Swiss Army knife.

Deion Sanders will be back on the screen on Prime Video

Known for his father-like relationship with his troops, not it’s just not Travis Hunter, it’s the whole group. It’s always been like a movie at Boulder, and now there’s literally one. You must have seen there’s always a camera capturing all the glitz of Coach Prime’s life at Colorado. It’s all for this very reason.

The wait is over. As the release date for the next season of Coach Prime docuseries on Prime Video Sports, featuring head coach Deion Sanders, has been announced. The third season is set to premiere on January 7th, taking viewers deep into the heart of the Buffaloes’ 2024 campaign. Standout stars like Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders will shine in this season. The father-coach and now a movie star himself announced on the Big Noon Kickoff Show.

Let’s say that Drelon Miller may have earned a cameo in the Prime Series after his heroics.
