Buffalo Bills’ star wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, has caught the college football fever. He made a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show to discuss the upcoming season opener against the Jets, who are emerging as an AFC powerhouse this season. During the conversation, he also shared his thoughts on the rising talents coming out of the Colorado campus and touched on Deion Sanders‘ recent upset.

The CU is gearing up to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers tomorrow, a team that recently suffered a loss to Minnesota. The initial projections, which had Prime’s team at the bottom of the Pac-12, have now shifted in their favor. Prime has been vocal about his ambitions to make a significant impact on college football in the coming days. Notably, he didn’t shy away from calling out those who doubted his influence on the team following their stunning upset.

Reports also indicate that talent evaluators have been highly impressed with both Travis and Shedeur. Moreover, the 20-year-old cornerback has emerged among the top 15 odds at DraftKings for Heisman, representing the only non-QB athlete on that list.
