Deion Sanders recently spoke to reporters clarifying that he does not want to be compared to his star player Travis Hunter. Sanders emphasized that it’s not about him versus Hunter, but rather about Hunter’s success and achievements. As a former two-way star at Florida State and a member of prestigious football halls of fame, Sanders is now focused on using his experience to guide and support Hunter in his career.
Sanders compared himself to an old boxing coach in the corner, providing strategic advice and guidance to Hunter. He reiterated that it’s Hunter’s time to shine and receive all the attention and accolades he deserves. Hunter, in his second season with the Buffaloes, has been excelling on both offense and defense. Leading the country in receptions as a wide receiver and making an impact as a cornerback, Hunter’s versatility and talent mirror Sanders’ own skills during his college days.
Looking ahead, if Hunter continues to perform at a high level, he could play a crucial role in helping his team compete for a Big 12 Championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff. This upcoming weekend, Colorado faces a significant conference matchup against Kansas State, where Hunter will have the opportunity to showcase his abilities on the field. With Sanders’ mentorship and Hunter’s talent, the Buffaloes have a strong chance of success in the season.
