Colorado Buffaloes head football coach Deion Sanders came under fire this week amid his decision to retire the jerseys of two recent stars in Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter.

Both former stars of the team had their jerseys retired at Saturday’s spring game in Boulder, Colorado. Shedeur Sanders started as the team’s quarterback for two seasons, and Hunter won the Heisman Trophy in 2024 as he played both wide receiver and defensive back.
