“Not Everyone Is Built to Play”: Shedeur Sanders Has a Special Message for CU’s New Recruits on Shouldering the Weight of Expectations

Colorado Buffaloes are on a mission to not repeat the same mistakes that they committed this year onto the next one. Therefore, Deion Sanders, the HC is making all the necessary recruitments to make his team stronger. But with all eyes on Colorado, will the recruits rise to meet the expectations or fail miserably?

During the latter half of the 2023 season, the Buffs’ plans and strategies all failed as QB Shedeur had to shoulder most of the responsibility. It was a tiring season at the end for Colorado as they went down 4-8. Coach Prime was obviously disappointed but has ensured that the mistakes aren’t repeated. He has prioritized recruiting and surveying the CGB portals for absorbing talented offensive players. Shedeur recently took to platform X for the same initiative and also shared a positive message with newcomers.

Colorado Buffaloes have gone above and beyond to rope in players of caliber to supplement their squad with four blue chip recruits till now. The message is loud and clear- Buffs want to make it to the playoffs come the next year. Given the recent recruits and onboarding of players, Shedeur shared an encouraging message on X, saying, “Man I’m thankful for those who wanna come play at CU. Not everyone is built to play under the expectations.”

Shedeur was bang-on with his words as the Colorado Buffaloes were under tremendous media scrutiny the entire season. Several panelists, former players, and the media were constantly judging the Buffs’ every move. The QB player pointed out that it wasn’t easy to play with the all expectations around the team. Moreover, it’s great to see one of the core Colorado players welcoming the new ones and making them feel at ease. For Buffs and Deion Sanders, the journey has only started to take the team to newer heights.

Things that Deion and Co. need to work on for better results

Throughout the entire 2023 season, it seemed like Coach Prime and his team were walking on totally different paths. Strategies devised by the legendary HC never came through as the players often looked confused on the field. With the quarterback getting sacked more than 52 times the entire season and the team conceding three-plus sacks every game, the Buffs need to have well-structured offenses.
