The Colorado Buffaloes were the talk of college football last season thanks to the arrival of Deion Sanders. Home CU football games were estimated to have generated an economic impact of over $100 million during the season and it seemed everyone wanted to be part of the moment. The Coach Prime effect has shifted the entire culture of the program and headed into Year Two, the focus is always on winning.
There is a new offense for Sanders’ son and Buffs quarterback Shedeur, and the task of filling the roster after 22 players left since the Spring portal opened in April. To say Sanders is busy would be an understatement but there aren’t many that handle pressure with the flair that he does.
In between going over some notes in his playbook and before heading off to get his workout in, Deion Sanders unpacked some of his daily necessities for Muscle and Fitness and chatted about the role they play in his routine.
