Woah! The Colorado Buffaloes fall camp literally takes us back to our school days when we used to put up our best selves whenever the teachers were around. Deion Sanders’ squad, too, had put up their best version in front of the NFL scouts. So much so that the Buffs’ two-way star took the wooing game a notch higher. As discussed on the DNVR Sports podcast, Deion’s two-way phenom, Travis Hunter, and wide receiver LaJohntay Wester were spotted shaking hands with NFL scouts. All thanks to Coach Prime and his stronghold on the football world that drew the talent spotters in Colorado. Meanwhile, Deion ended up getting upset about players “loafing” in front of the scouts.
Talents in Colorado Buffaloes never go unnoticed. All thanks to Deion and his mastermind, who plays wonders while pitching to the right people. As Jake and RK discuss in the podcast, “The clip of Coach Prime getting after the defense saying ‘Yeah there’s six Scouts here’… someone was like this is just Coach Prime saying like you need to play better so my sons look better to NFL Scouts.” Deion’s duty was over in getting the scouts land in Boulder and the Buffs knew what exactly they had to do. There are scouts from the best-of-the-best NFL programs like in Deion Jr.’s video presents- Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, and Houston Texans were all spotted.

And what did the players do? They turned up the charm to win over the scout brigade. “There’s a clip of Travis literally shaking their hands, Johntay shaking their hands,” confirmed the podcast co-host. But what made the six scouts drop in Boulder? It’s because of Deion and his 14 seasons of NFL experience that led to a deep bond.

On Day 4 of the Buffs’ fall camp, scouts NFC South scouts out of Tampa Bay Buccaneers and NFC North- Detroit Lions made a quick stop to discover what talent they could pull from Boulder. But was Coach Prime pleased with the way the players conducted themselves in front of the scouts? It looks like a BIG NO!
Deion confronting the locker room evils
Laziness and procrastination are the two biggest evils that have plagued Colorodao’s locker room for quite a while now. Now that the NFL scouts are here, Deion would rather take up a no-nonsense attitude for the players. As captured by Well Off Media on Tuesday, August 6, Coach Prime addressed the core group of defenders during drills with a simple yet impactful vocal tonic.
Deion started with, “For all you guys claiming you want to go pro, there’s at least six scouts here and you’re loafing.” Coach Prime then made it a point how the players could turn this opportunity in their favor by making their talents heard, “There’s at least six scouts here. What they saying about you right now? They watching every darn thing you do.” While the scouts have put Shedeur Sanders through enough scrutiny, it’s now time for the other Buffs to secure their place on the hot list.
What’s your perspective on:
Is Deion Sanders the secret weapon CU Buffs needed for NFL draft success?
Have an interesting take?
Even after a disastrous 4-8 season, what made the scouts swarm around the Buffs? After all, it’s Deion Sanders and his face value. But mind you, in the NFL, face value does not make all the difference and wins championships. In the end, it’s Coach Prime’s sincere efforts to address the loopholes they had last time and bring the Buffs to the right track that mattered.
