$45M worth Deion Sanders hypes up sons with 3 words over latest photo dump on IG
Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) lost 31-28 to the then-No.18 Kansas State Wildcats (5-1, 2-1) in Week 7. This loss put a dent in their playoff hopes, but Sanders remains optimistic.
In a post on the Instagram page of "Well Off Forever," the media company run by his eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr., Sanders, who has a net worth of $45 million (per Celebrity Net Worth), hyped up his sons. The post included images of Shedeur, Shilo and Bucky from the Kansas State game.
"Good ole SON!" Sanders commented.
Coach Prime's quarterback son, Shedeur Sanders, had a decent game against the Wildcats. He completed 34 of 40 passes for 388 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. However, Shilo Sanders, who returned to the starting lineup after suffering a forearm injury against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Week 3, looked out of place.
"I thought he played horrible. I thought he was rusty. I thought he didn’t have his footing," Sanders said in his postgame conference.
It'll be interesting to see whether the Colorado HC sticks with his son in the next game or pivots to backup Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig.
Deion Sanders sees himself under fire for Travis Hunter's injury
The Kansas State loss has seen Coach Prime facing heat, especially after Travis Hunter's shoulder injury. His injury has sparked controversy, with Fox Sports’ Jason Whitlock blaming Sanders' decision to play Hunter on both offense and defense.
"Deion Sanders is the reason Travis Hunter got hurt. Because Deion Sanders thinks that he has reinvented football and that he is the greatest coach that’s ever hit college football," Whitlock said. [12:10]
"You know what? I can take a 19-20 and 21-year-old kid with amazing talent, and I can play him both ways and play him virtually every snap for an entire season because I am Deion Sanders and I said so."
Sanders was asked about comparing himself to the two-way sensation.
"It’s not me against Travis. I had my turn, man. I’m not a doorknob anymore. Travis is everything. He is 'it.' It’s his turn now," the Colorado HC replied.
Coach Prime and the team will travel to Arizona for their next game to play against the Arizona Wildcats (3-3, 1-2, Big 12).
