Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders started the 2023 college football season hearing accusations of nepotism However, Coach Prime's son surprised everyone with his performance in the first few games that the Buffaloes won.
During the season, Shedeur adopted the "watch flex" celebration, which he did by flaunting his expensive wristwatch toward opposing fans when Colorado scored touchdowns. However, his celebration was mocked later by rival fans and pundits alike when the Buffs started losing games left, right and center while finishing 4-8.
Deion Sanders concerned about Shedeur Sanders' college life
Colorado coach Deion Sanders opened up about the challenges his son, Shedeur Sanders, faces as a college student-athlete in the modern era.
On the "Bret Boone Podcast" recently, Coach Prime discussed the impact of online education on his son's college experience:
"Most of the schooling is online. They go to classes, and I'm like, 'You guys are missing the best part of college.'"
Expressing his disappointment, Sanders emphasized the importance of physical presence on campus, fostering relationships beyond football. He raised doubts about Shedeur's engagement with the traditional college atmosphere.
"I don't even know if Shedeur has ever taken a class on campus in his college career," Sanders said.
While online classes may alleviate the academic pressures on student-athletes, Sanders contends that it comes at the cost of limiting their exposure to the vibrant on-campus life — a sentiment shared by many who consider this period as the best time of their lives.
