Sacked 52 Times in 2023, Shedeur Sanders Offered Valuable Advice From Coach Prime to Avoid Contact

‘Nation’s most sacked QB‘ was a damaging label that came with all the fame and NIL valuation to Shedeur Sanders in the 2023 season. Not only did it make Shedeur Sanders more prone to injuries but it also showed the fundamental skill that the Buffs’ offense lacked – failing to protect their QB. It was a branded shame that Deion Sanders and Co, too, had to carry in the 2023 season. That, topped with their humbling 4-8 losses.

Swallowing the pill of his son being the ‘

Nation’s most sacked QB‘ was a hard one for Prime, especially when he was a formidable’ tripe threat‘ back in his NFL days. Since Shedeur Sanders’s 2025 draft selection follows this season, Prime is not too keen on replicating the 52 sacks on QB Shedeur Sanders this season. Hence, pulling the ultimate advice out of his sack-proof QB guide, Deion Sanders called Shedeur Sanders aside to share his invaluable advice with his son. “I want you to anticipate a little quicker,” Prime said to Shedeur. “You got it but anticipate a little quicker. Try to see it a little quicker. Make it happen a little quicker. I’m talking about everything,” Coach Prime further instructed.

Coach Prime pivoted his focus to QB son because he was comparatively assured of his offense, given the heavy revamp it underwent. Five-star recruits like Jordan Seaton are well set in CU ways and are marching toward the Black and Gold practice sessions. However, it’s Shedeur Sanders’s mantra for the season and Coach Prime believes in it that’s shielding him from as many hits as possible at the Folsom Field.

Shedeur Sanders’s motto for the season

Shedeur Sanders has endured some of the most hits and sacks in the 2023 season. To cut one of his best players some slack, Deion Sanders has passed some clear-cut instructions to the players practicing at the Folsom field. “Do not touch the quarterback,” Sanders asserted.

The songs of Shedeur Sanders’ durability are being sung across the whole of the CFB. Dan Lanning, Oregon’s head coach, believes,

“He’s done a phenomenal job of still having success, still playing really well, in spite of being hit.”

Well, Sanders has endured the most amount of hits and sacks in his collegiate QB career, with him being the first player to be sacked 30 times in the first six games since Idaho’s Matt Linehan in 2014, per ESPN stats. Speaking of hits, Shedeur has absorbed the most hits (93) of any FBS quarterback through six games in the past five seasons.

The QB is on his way to tying the FBS single-season record for being sacked at 60, which is currently owned by Pitt’s Tino Sunseri in 2011. So, do you think that Deion Sanders mandating the “DT2” or “Don’t Touch 2” formula would do Shedeur Sanders any good? Or would it make him just more prone to endure more hits later?
