“Cannot Have Their Phones”: Deion Sanders’ Brutal Rules Pay off as Colorado Athletes Receive Vital Benefit

Deion Sanders once again proved why he is the mastermind behind Colorado! All he needed was some days to shut down all the allegations that the former Buffs player made against them. The allegations of Xavier Smith of Deion Sanders ignoring him in the locker room and the starting QB of the team, Shedeur Sanders, being basically unaware of his presence brought forward everything the fans needed to know about the behind-the-scenes at Colorado.

Bridging the communication gap was the ultimate challenge in front of Deion Sanders. The solution to it was introducing a new device. One that locked away the phones of players while they had their meals there. The sleek black container with the Buffs logo features a hydraulic opening system. The Prime motto behind it was for the players, “To talk to each other and get to know one another.” With that being said and done, Prime and Co. are already reaping the benefits of the newly introduced system from day 1.

The pros of Deion Sanders’ strict rules

Even though 0ld-school, the rule is already yielding sweet benefits for the team. “Look what your head coach has us doing during lunch, breakfast, and dinner. They cannot have their phone,” Tysha Stewart, the one who introduced the device to Deion Sanders per the post on his Instagram, stated.

The result was a better team bonding from day 1 of introducing the rule as the recruit stated, as shown in the video released by The Pregame Network. The move will not only stop the players from slumping over their phones during their break times but it will also make them talk to each other more, avoiding Xavier Smith-like fiascos in the future. Yet, the healthy measure for the team didn’t quite sit right with Shilo Sanders.

Shilo Sanders ‘annoyed’ over the rule

Already in hot water because of losing the $11.8 million lawsuit, Shilo Sanders just invited further criticism because of his reaction toward the rule. The introduction of the boxes locking away the phones of players came off as too imposing of the rule to Shilo Sanders. He quipped, “You know, Coach Prime is going way too far.”

As Shilo Sanders says, there are several people, like Coach Zach and Kris who host ‘Menace 2 Football’, who think that Shilo Sanders has gone too far to avoid the penalty of the assault and battery lawsuit. Shilo Sanders has declared bankruptcy, which is rumored as a way to avoid paying his assault victim John Darjean the amount Dallas County Court has instructed. Mainly because Shilo Sanders had a flashy lifestyle and about $2.3 million valuation in NIL terms. All of that vanished overnight, as he disclosed just $320,477 in his name in December 2023. So, who do you think has actually gone too much? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
