Colorado Coach Deion Sanders has boldly claimed that the media is intentionally neglecting to mention Shedeur Sanders for the Heisman Trophy due to his paternal connection. Through his expertise and keen insight, Sanders has identified a clear bias within the media’s coverage of the prestigious award, which has unfortunately overshadowed Shedeur’s undeniable talents on the football field.
Sanders contends that Shedeur’s remarkable skills and accomplishments have been unjustly ignored solely because of his familial ties. Drawing attention to this concerning issue, the coach raises awareness of potentially biased practices within the media, which could be depriving deserving athletes of the recognition they deserve.
According to Sanders, his son remains unbothered by the oversight, focusing instead on future NFL aspirations and his current goals with Colorado. “I don’t care. I really don’t. It’s just strange,” Deion Sanders said. “It’s just funny to me. I just think it’s just ignorant, but it’s funny to us because Shedeur could care less. Shedeur wants to be drafted in a wonderful city. He wants to win out. That’s what he thinks about. He ain’t thinking about no darn Heisman, man.
Beyond Shedeur, Deion also voiced his thoughts on Travis Hunter, describing him as “the best college football player in the country.” He emphasized Hunter’s unprecedented talent and questioned the criteria for the Heisman, hinting that it overlooks qualities that define players like Hunter. “Saucy-T’s” contribution to the game underscored Deion’s belief, as he caught nine passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating his value as a two-way star.
This game solidified Colorado’s sixth win, guaranteeing its first bowl game since 2020 and marking the Buffaloes’ first time hitting six wins since 2016. The Buffaloes powered through Cincinnati, scoring on five of their first six drives to establish a commanding 31-14 lead by the fourth quarter. The win was significant in a Big 12 matchup where both teams have outperformed low preseason expectations.
Shedeur addressed Colorado’s progress with confidence, dismissing any notion that their success was unexpected. “We’re not even hitting our peak. Nowhere close,” he said, underscoring the team’s potential for continued growth.
Deion Sanders thinks his son is being overlooked just because of their father-son relationship. Talk about some major bias! I mean, come on, Shedeur has been tearing it up on the field, and yet the media is acting like he doesn’t even exist. It’s a total outrage. But you know what? Deion Sanders isn’t afraid to speak his mind and call out unfairness.
