After a hot start to his Colorado Buffaloes coaching tenure in 2023 that ultimately fizzled and ended with a 4-8 record, Deion Sanders and the Buffs have maintained their success in 2024. They are 7-2, ranked No. 17 in the College Football Playoff Rankings, and control their own destiny to ultimately end up in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff.
A big part of that success has been the coach’s son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, so much so that the younger Sanders is expected to be an early first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
