Shedeur Sanders confident in Colorado despite crushing loss: 'They have a great head coach'

Danny Parkins reacts to Deion Sanders sharing on The Michael Irvin Podcast that Shedeur told him not to visit Cleveland Browns training camp amid the ongoing QB1 battle.

The Buffaloes lost to the Yellow Jackets, 27-20, as Haynes King put together the game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. King scored on a 45-yard run with 1:07 left in the fourth quarter. Colorado failed to put together the equalizing touchdown in the last moments.

It was the team’s first game without Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. Both players entered the NFL Draft after last season.

Sanders was still confident the team will figure it out, especially since his father, Deion, is the head coach.

"They’ll figure things out. They have a great head coach," he wrote on X.
