Retired NFL legend and Colorado’s head coach, Deion Sanders, always looks up to Tom Brady with respect. But when his quarterback son, Shedeur Sanders took his appreciation for Brady to another level, he was quick at his defense. While the two already got into a back-and-forth jab with Jay Norvell, here’s something new.?

Despite being the drive behind the successful three games for the Colorado Buffaloes this season, Coach Prime can have his delicate strings pulled by his own offspring. The way he defends himself when Shedeur Sanders shares about the legendary former Tampa Bay Buccaneer quarterback Tom Brady is entertaining.?

Tom Brady is the Sanders duo’s best

In a podcast by Let’s Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray, the latter asked Shedeur how it is different getting advice from Tom and his father. The 21-year-old quarterback replied, “You’ll not hear it from dad. I was here my whole life so it’s like I kinda understand what he’s saying now? but of course, whenever I talk to Tom, it’s just different. Because he’s actually been there taking snaps. My dad ain’t never been a quarterback.“

Deion Sanders only has a sentence to say. “I was there in high school. Okay, I was there in high school, son.“

Tom Brady has had a profound impact on both Deion and Shedeur Sanders. Coach Prime had stated back in 2020, when?Shedeur was under the mentorship of the GOAT quarterback, “Tom Brady is the best. Tom took his wonderful time and his valuable time to get on the field with my son, who is also a quarterback, over a year ago. And he taught him some things that he’ll never forget.”?He calls Brady an “epitome of class.“

Shedeur’s appreciation for Tom Brady is apparent, as seen in his last performance and what he had to say about it. “All I was thinking was Brady Mode. That’s it,” he said previously.?Pulling off the Brady Mode, the young quarterback was able to lead the team to the fourth-quarterback greatest comeback since 2005, winning in double overtime.?

Shedeur is carrying Deion Sanders’ football legacy

During his hay days, Deion Sanders was one of the greatest NFL cornerbacks with two Super Bowl titles. He played his last game with the Baltimore Ravens in 2005. But now, his son is growing to carry the Sanders football legacy.?

With Shedeur Sanders as quarterback for Colorado starting this season, they haven’t seen defeat so far. The Colorado Buffaloes took down No. 17 TCU in Week 1 with 45-42, Nebraska in Week 2 with 36-14, and Colorado State in Week 3 with 43-35.?

Could the Brady effect be working? Let’s see in the next Sunday game against Oregon in Week 4.
