Colorado's Deion Sanders fires off message to players in transfer portal looking to join team

Joy Taylor argues the criticism of Deion Sanders' NFL coaching potential is unwarranted, emphasizing his achievements and impact in college football.

Several college football stars have announced they will enter the transfer portal in hopes of finding greener pastures at another school – whether that means playing for a national championship, getting a better NIL deal or increasing chances of playing professionally.

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders, who has regularly used the transfer portal to bolster his roster, had a message for those deciding to enter the fray.

"To many of the Portal Young Men that’s looking & searching for the right situation," Sanders wrote on X. "You’re gonna get vetted thoroughly by us and then I pray u know the difference of being offered a bag & being offered a BLESSING. Ask Grandma-nem what I mean."

Sanders used the transfer portal when he took over the team to bring his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, and Heisman Trophy candidate Travis Hunter over from Jackson State.
