Deion Sanders Jr. came down heavily on his dad’s critics!
Coach Prime has shut out rumors about leaving the University of Colorado for the NFL anytime soon. He stressed he likes to stay in the program, stating, “I lead my sons. I don’t follow my sons.”
He included not just his biological sons Shilo and Shedeur but also star player Travis Hunter, whom he sees as an extension of his family. Yet, not everyone embraced his sincere words.

On June 25, the quarterback trainer, Quincy Avery, took a sarcastic swipe at Deion’s words on his X handle. He posted, “On the bright side if he thinks you are good enough he will also consider you one of his sons!” This jab, laced with jealousy and negativity, didn’t sit well with Deion Jr., Coach Prime’s eldest son. Taking a page out of a new pundit’s playbook, Deion Jr. fired back with a spirited response, calling the trainer “You really b***h made.”

This kind of response is quite unusual from Deion Sanders Jr. The calm voice of the Buffs in the media surprised everyone with his fiery defense of his dad. He’s known for avoiding harsh responses, even reminding fans this month that “standing up for yourself doesn’t always mean answering back.” So, what sparked this change? It seems the new Lakers head coach might be Deion Jr.’s new influence.

Deion Sanders Jr.’s shift in approach seems inspired by J.J. Redick, the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. During his introductory press conference, Redick faced a question about misconceptions surrounding his hire. In a now-viral moment, he retorted, “It’s a valid question… however, I don’t really have a great answer to your question because I really don’t give a f**k.” Looks like Deion Jr. clearly resonated with this no-nonsense approach. He also reposted Redick’s words on his Well Off Forever page with the caption “@deionsanders this how you gotta start responding.” Now, minutes later, Deion Jr. followed suit with his own heated response.
The Sanders family’s growing need to address the negativity in Boulder is reflected in their newfound aggressiveness. From their decision to join the Big 12 to targeting a 5-star QB prospect despite a losing season, Deion and his crew have become a magnet for criticism. But now, the Sanders family has had enough and won’t stand for it. They’re gearing up to battle their critics, leading to intense online exchanges ahead.
