"We didn't go to private school whole life": Shedeur Sanders gives sneak peek into Coach Prime's strict upbringing to humble his kids

Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders recently shared his experience dealing with off-field pressure. Being the son of a legendary football player brings its own set of challenges.

During an interview on Cam Newton’s “4th & 1” podcast, Shedeur discussed how his father Deion Sanders shaped him by employing a blend of tough love and calculated experiences.

"But what is it like to carry the weight of a famous legacy?" Cam Newton asked Shedeur.

Shedeur said living in a big house for his whole life seemed normal until they moved away and realized how extraordinary it was.

“It's not really pressure because it's not really ... It's the same thing every year of your life,” Shedeur said.

“We grew up in a big house, nice, like 25,000 square feet, something very big. Football field, everything you could ask for. Arcade, basketball court, everything,” he said. “But then he (Deion) moved us across town to understand, just a humbling experience overall, just to understand to get that dog mentality.”

Shedeur said that he did not attend fancy schools and he was taught that no one is above anyone else, regardless of legacy.

“We didn't go to private schools our whole life,” QB told Newton. “We went to charter schools. It's barely funded. So, it's like, that's where we get that grit factor. That's where we get, like, we all the same.”

Shedeur recently asserted that he outshines other quarterbacks in the college football scene.

"I’m biased, but I don’t see a quarterback that’s better than me. I don’t see a quarterback that went through as much adversity as me, that had four [offensive coordinators] in four years,” he said to Sports Illustrated on Friday.

"Coming from an HBCU, coming to a Power Five [program], having real pressure on me. A lot of people don’t understand, that’s a lot more adversity than you think just even being the son of Deion Sanders."

Last season, the Buffs quarterback passed for 3,230 yards and 27 touchdowns, and had a 69.3% completion rate. He also scored four rushing touchdowns. Despite Colorado's varied results, Sanders remains steadfast as he enters his senior season, with the Buffaloes moving from the Pac-12 to the Big 12.
