The Colorado Buffaloes have had a mediocre 2023 season but their improvement in performances grabbed headlines. These changes were possible due to the good offensive play led by Shedeur Sanders. He had a stellar season with the team and gave his everything.

Now, during the College Football Playoff Media Day, the QB player hogged all the limelight. It was terrific to see the young star causing a rampage as other football young stars also joined in the presentations. The media day was held just hours out from the CFP national championship finals 2023/24. While there were other QBs in the capacity too, none of them stole the limelight with the shutterbugs as Shedeur.

Shedeur Sanders shines at the college football playoff media day

“He is him!” The Colorado Buffaloes star Shedeur Sanders had a great 2023/24 season. Despite the team failing to reach the playoffs, the youngster gave a tremendous performance. His star status was evident when he attended the football playoff media day in Houston last Saturday. The QB with 27 touchdowns reportedly had an hour-long waiting line for meet-and-greet sessions.

The star-studded night also involved the finalists- Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies players. Shedeur’s presence overshadowed JJ McCarthy and Heisman runner-up Michael Penix Jr. Deion Sanders‘ trump card posed for the cameras as all eyes were on him throughout the night. It just goes to show the effect Deion Sanders is having on the NCAA league. Ahead of the 2024 season, father Deion Sanders had an endearing message for his son and the team’s looking to make a roaring comeback.

What advice did Coach Prime give to Shedeur Sanders?

The 21-year-old QB was one of the binding forces behind the Buffs’ resurgence last season and was on course to win the Heisman Trophy. However, things turned downhill for the player during the latter stages of the tournament as he got sacked a record 52 times. This turned out to be a major factor in the team losing its mojo and finally falling short of the playoffs.

Shedeur copped loads of criticism and his father, Deion Sanders, came out to offer some encouraging words. Coach Prime took to Instagram and shared a photo along with his son. It read, “Son they’re upset with no valid reason to be. This thang is bigger than us but let’s show them all the gifts that God has provided. Let’s also keep our Peace and joy & consistently display our Love for this game. CU let’s do us and not engage in foolishness. #CoachPrime.”

Hopefully, Deion and Shedeur can turn things around this year and bring back the glory days for the Buffs.
