Colorado coach Deion Sanders has exceeded preseason expectations where his team was tabbed to win four games this season and has led the Buffaloes to bowl-eligibility for the first time in eight years. Ahead of Week 13 of college football action, the Buffs have an 8-2 record with the chance to solidify their status as favorites for the Big 12 championship game.
Ahead of Colorado's crucial game against the Kansas Jayhawks (4-6) on Saturday, Sanders, who is worth $45 million (per CelebrityNetWorth), spent some time with Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid at Arrowhead Stadium.
The post of the duo was shared on ESPN's Instagram page with the caption:

Deion Sanders has been linked with a host of NFL jobs in the past few weeks with his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, leaving for the NFL via the 2025 draft.
Sanders visiting Reid reopened the discourse surrounding the charismatic coach's future and the teams that could draft his sons, with fans in the comment section speculating where the trio could end up.
"Shilo goin to the Chiefs," a fan wrote.
"Shedeur to the Chiefs confirmed," another commented.
"Prime is making moves," a comment read.
Deion Sanders addresses his future
With speculation around the future of Deion Sanders picking up pace in the past few weeks, the Buffs coach addressed the matter during an interview with Michael Irvin on Fox Sports. Sanders was asked about the rumors linking him to the Cowboys job, and he had a decisive answer that will delight Buffs fans.
"Oh Lord, don't start that," Sanders said. "I love it where I am. I love it where I am. Let me take the computer in here, because you're starting to talk that talk. I love it where I am."
Later during the week, Sanders once again addressed his future, reassuring Buffs fans that he enjoyed working in Boulder during his weekly news conference, despite the persistent speculation about his future.
"I'm happy where I am," Sanders said. "I'm good. I've got a kickstand down. You know what a kickstand is? A lot of people in here not of age, don't now what a kickstand is.
"That means I'm resting. I'm good. I'm happy. I'm excited. I'm enthusiastic about where I am. I love it here, I truly do."
Deion Sanders has been repeatedly linked with the Dallas Cowboys job, with his former team struggling (3-7) under coach Mike McCarthy, and Colorado fans will follow updates about his future with great interest.
