Deion Sanders spoke up as a father, more so than a coach for the first time on account of Shedeur and Shilo’s future. The 56-year-old coach has been a part of both his sons’ football careers for a long time now. Thus, as both Shedeur and Shilo have announced their decision to leave for the NFL next season, Coach Prime should be sad but showed a different side altogether.

The Colorado Buffaloes didn’t exactly have a great season last year. Deion’s Buffs ended their record at the bottom of the table with a poor 4-8. Despite the team’s lack of success, Shedeur and Shilo earned a great name for themselves for being the driving force behind Colorado’s little amount of glory. Now that Deion will be posed with the emotional obstacle of not being able to train his sons any further, hear what he had to say about the situation.

When asked about his thoughts on this, Deion said, “I mean that’s something evident. It is what it is so it’s going to happen and actually I’m looking forward to him soaring and him wanting to have this uh monumental season as well as Shilo. But I get that luxury of being there and have been there with my sons for most of their entire college career with Shilo only missing a couple years of that but uh it’s been a good ride.”

Thus, he is nothing but enthusiastic about his sons taking flight and achieving their dreams in the NFL as he sits back and watches as a proud father. With all that said, here’s a look at the gift that Shedeur, Shilo, and Deion Sanders Jr., recently gave Deion as repayment for all these years of being a great coach and father.

Both the sons realized the dramatic significance of the situation and partnered with Deion Sanders Jr., to gift Deion with a $10 million mansion. They did so to ensure that their father enjoyed his time in Colorado as they moved on to the bigger league, the NFL. The entire incident was documented and saw Deion getting emotional. He was heard saying, “Y’all wanna make sure I’m straight when ya’ll gone. That’s unbelievable son. It almost provokes a tear.” Thus, the Sanders family is set to have their best season of all time this year and hopefully get to the top of the table with the help of Shedeur and Shilo.
