IN PHOTOS: Deion Sanders’ Colorado share snaps of intense session with the US Marine Corps
Deion Sanders is leaving no stone unturned in making Colorado a force in college football again. For that, he recently got some help from the US Marine Corps, who came in and talked about leadership with Sanders’ staff.
The Colorado social media team shared snaps of the session, thanking the two officers who came to Boulder. Sanders also posed for a photograph with the men in uniform after getting a special gift from them.
“Leadership starts with serving others. Thank you Brigadier General Ryans II and Sergeant Major Levy for speaking with our staff today,” the Buffs said in the caption of the Instagram post.
Apart from speaking to the staff, the Marines also put the team through rigorous drills. While some players flew through, others needed help from their teammates.
The Buffaloes are already preparing for next season, with a few additions to the roster still to come. With the national signing day just about two weeks away, they wouldn't want to leave any holes that they had in the 2023 season.

A look back at Deion Sanders' debut season in Boulder and the need for change
Deion Sanders brought in a lot of positivity when he came into the Colorado football setup. The program saw an immediate resurgence, with the Buffaloes gaining traction from fans and sponsors. They also translated it to some degree on the field, starting off 3-0.
Although they faltered as the season progressed and finished 4-8, it was a marked improvement from their 1-11 record the previous season. With the team moving to the Big 12 in 2024, they will face an even more daunting task.
Sanders has tried to fill the holes in the offensive line, one of the areas that held back the team last season. But will that be enough?
