Tracey Edmonds' support for Deion Sanders this season

Tracey Edmonds has shown immaculate support for Deion Sanders as he embarks on the head coaching job at Colorado this season. She's been seen at the Buffaloes' home games in Boulder on many occasions and has been the needed support to Coach Prime behind-the-scenes.

She was also right beside the former Dallas Cowboys cornerback prior to the commencement of the season as he underwent foot surgery. The work in Boulder is evidently getting tougher for Deion Sanders with the latest round of results, but Edmonds' support is getting stronger in the bid for success.
