The Colorado Buffaloes' solid season under coach Deion Sanders became national news this past year, heading toward the 2025 NFL draft.
The draft is expected to include the selections of Sanders' son Shedeur Sanders and his teammate Travis Hunter among the top ten overall picks, illustrating the incredible job done by the former Dallas Cowboys cornerback in Boulder, Colorado.
On Friday, Deion Sanders addressed the controversy surrounding his son's situation on his X account while former New England Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel Sr. issued a challenge to the Hall of Fame defensive back that had fans reminiscing and talking up a storm on X.
Deion Sanders said he believes one NFL team has spread lies about his son Shedeur Sanders, a controversy referenced by 'Coach Prime' on Friday.
Sanders' diffused the situation with Friday morning comments imploring readers to focus on the lighter side, which prompted a call-out issued by Samuel Sr. later that evening.
"@DeionSanders I will go first," the former Patriots defense back Samuel later wrote in a message to the elder Sanders.
"Someone please find (Sanders') best breaks to the football. No zone coverage either."
Fans reacted with footage of Deion Sanders' best plays, including one that impressed Samuel Sr.
Samuel Sr., whose son Asante Samuel Jr. played with the San Diego Chargers last season, added a statistical comparison between himself and the former Cowboys and 49ers defensive back that caught the eye of myriad fans.
