Deion Sanders Jr.’s media presence “did something big”
Deion Sanders Jr. has played a pivotal role in shaping the Colorado Buffaloes’ media presence, despite never suiting up for the team. As a key figure in his father’s program, he has leveraged social media to amplify the Buffaloes' brand, offering fans unprecedented access to the team.
Arriving in Boulder with the Sanders family in 2023, Sanders Jr. transitioned from his days as an SMU Mustangs football player to a media personality. His innovative conten t— centered on the Sanders family and the Buffaloes — has been called revolutionary, giving fans behind-the-scenes insights through YouTube videos and exclusive interactions with players and coaches.
Beyond content creation, he has actively defended his brother, Shilo Sanders, against criticism while reinforcing the program’s narrative. Reflecting on his contributions, Sanders Jr. said in an interview with the Instagram channel 'Chat Us Up':
"When you look at it from the outside, it's like, dang, I actually did something big.”
However, critics argue that the program operates more like a "reality show" than a traditional football team.
Deion Sanders Jr. is the son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and his first wife, Carolyn Chambers.
