Their geographic proximity is of great need as this statement unfolds. Recently, Deion Sanders approached the Broncos’ renowned quarterback, Russell Wilson, for a $29.5 million endorsement at the Colorado Buffaloes’ home turf, Folsom Field, inviting him for an off-season workout.
The partnership not only brought together two of football’s most respected figures but also marked a turning point for Buffalo, whose status in pre-college football rarely failed to draw much attention from NFL stars as skilled as Wilson. The desire to coach under Prime became a reality, and so did the tremendous impact Sanders had on the Buffaloes’ resurgence in an incredibly short period.
