This time last year, the NFL world was in shock when the Colorado Buffaloes roped in Deion Sanders. And boy has Deion delivered! While they may not have made it to the playoffs, Prime Time has single-handedly dragged the team back into the limelight.

Sanders deserves every bit of appreciation for the Buffs’ change of fortunes. He took the team from getting sidelined to the one that got the most media attention in 2023. Coach Prime brought along the iconic black sunglasses to Boulder and used all the ticks up the sleeve to put the life back in Buffs. And now the Buffs are showing appreciation back!

Prime Time, like he was in his playing career – charismatic and flashy, used his characteristic traits in his coaching career. When he arrived at Boulder and immediately drafted a host of new players with a roster, the NCAA knew that things were shaking up. Deion’s ideations got clearer as the season drew closer.

The roster shakeup was followed by a spike in social media following, taking from a few 200,000 followers to a current one million is just one out of many Sanders masterstrokes. He came up with an innovative plan to even mention the player’s Instagram profiles on the jerseys for better reach and connectivity. His efforts were summarized in a tribute video released by the official Colorado Buffaloes Instagram channel.

The video showcases the crowning moments of Deion’s tenure at the Boulder and captures him in the iconic moments. This one-of-a-kind tribute video also has Lil Wayne playing in the background as it shows Coach Prime’s impact at the helm.

The turnaround in the Buffs’ situation is fairly evident with the number of wins the team got this year. From a side that only managed one victory last year, winning three on the trot speaks volumes about the morale that the HC provided.
