Deion Sanders promised to make changes to the roster he inherited after joining Colorado. And he definitely did so in a short period by letting go of old players and filling their place with new ones. More than 80% of the players have already left or are in the transfer portal. Although Deion’s college administration totally supported his decision, he was quick to come under a lot of security. These last few weeks have been an emotional whirlwind for Deion. But now that his talented son made a huge move in his father’s favor, Deion finally has something to celebrate.
