WATCH: Deion Sanders’ sons Shilo, Shedeur and Bucky relish a luxurious private jet ride during CFB offseason
Deion Sanders and his family are enjoying the off-season before the 2024 college football season starts in August. On Sunday, a video emerged on social media of the family unwinding in a private jet.
The video shows the Colorado Buffaloes head coach alongside his sons Shedeur Sanders, Shilo Sanders and Deion "Bucky" Sanders Jr, all of whom have played a role in the Buffaloes' (and Jackson State's) success and notoriety over the last few years.
However, this trip seemed to go smoother than a recent plane trip that Sanders had taken.
While in Las Vegas, Deion Sanders was set to fly to Atlanta for a promotional event for a supplement company he had invested in. Due to the recent heat wave that has been affecting the western United States, the plane's takeoff was planned to be delayed by a couple of hours to allow for the runway to cool down. This would have made him late for the event, which could have affected his relationship with the company.
Deion Sanders then reportedly made the executive decision for the plane to keep to its original schedule and leave Las Vegas, telling Reach the People Media that his plan was to:
"Touchdown and refuel"
2024 will be an important season for Deion Sanders and his family
The four Sanders family members on board the plane in the video have spent most of their off-season preparing for the upcoming college football season. This one will be important for all four members.
Deion Sanders would want to improve on the Colorado Buffaloes' disappointing season last year. After a strong start, the Buffaloes struggled in the rest of their games and ended with a 4-8 record for the season.
This paired with the mass exodus of players from the Colorado program, some of whom criticized Coach Sanders' practices, will mean that Deion will want to prove all of his critics wrong and keep the Buffaloes competitive on the field.
One way this can be done is by using both Shedeur and Shilo Sanders to the best of their abilities. Both of these players will be going into their final year in college football and should be entering the NFL draft in 2025.
There is a lot of attention surrounding Shedeur Sanders, as the Buffaloes quarterback is highly touted to be a top-five pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Shedeur knows that a good season for him will almost guarantee this.
Deion Sanders Jr. will want to use the season to produce more high-quality content, allowing fans to gain an inside look into the Sanders family and the Buffaloes program. A successful season from them will only help him with this goal.
