During his last two seasons at Colorado, Deion Sanders has given his all to the program, striving to make each player the best they could be. Shedeur Sanders shines the brightest among all these, with his one-after-the-other records, like the most passing yardage in a season and best returning QB in college football. However, their only downfall was their humiliating 4-8 record on-field.

This might be one of the assumed reasons why there are no Colorado players on the Senior Bowl roster. It is the best chance the college players to flaunt their NFL skills to get noticed by the NFL Giants. While star players Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter are transitioning to the pro league next season, players like WR Xavier Weaver, DE Taijh Alston, linebacker Jordan Domineck, DE Leonard Payne, and safety Rodrick War are all lined up for the draft. While Weaver was expecting an invitation per Buffs Zone, all he got was a cold shoulder.

Sanders wants the Senior Bowl to “make it mandatory”

Not containing his frustration anymore, Deion Sanders took to X to address the issue cryptically. He had some suggestions for the Senior Bowl executives, giving suggestions on how to get their Bowl ‘more attractive to fans and viewers’. Speaking of burns, Sanders was quick to issue a response as a three-ruled list. “Move it to Atlanta Indoors & have a combine prior for HBCU’s top 50 & 50 players that were next up on the Senior Bowl List. Make it Mandatory for every team to be represented,” wrote Coach Prime. 

While he surely was advocating for the snubbed Buffs players, he also included the other players who were not included. Moreover, Deion Sanders leveraged the platform to also spread more awareness regarding the cause that is close to his heart, black people’s rights.

Deion Sanders and his fight for minorities

When the Buffs were on the winning spree at the beginning of the 2023 season, Deion Sanders made quite a bold move by addressing racism in college football with his ‘audacious blackness’, as John Blake from CNN puts it.

“When you see a confident Black man sitting up here talking his talk, walking his walk, coaching 75% African Americans in the locker room, that’s kind of threatening. Oh, they don’t like that,” admitted Sanders. Hence, along with standing up for the hard-working kids in Colorado, Prime also added another page to his fight against social evil.
