Tom Brady offers endorsement of Deion Sanders, says he’ll cheer for CU

Dec 7, 2022, 12:30 PM

Deion Sanders is one of the greatest athletes of all time, the lone person to play in both the Super Bowl and World Series.

The two-sport star is now the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes as he tries to turn around a struggling football program in his first opportunity at the D1-FBS level. Sanders has taken his quarterback-playing son with him from Jackson State to Boulder and it’s caught the eye of one of the greatest signal-callers ever.

On his podcast with Jim Gray and Sean Payton, Let’s Go, Tom Brady went out of his way to offer his endorsement of Coach Prime and his son, Shedeur Sanders.

Brady, the future Hall of Fame quarterback formerly of the New England Patriots and now of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers never faced Prime despite the two overlapping. Obviously, there’s a ton of respect from both sides. Shedeur works with Tom’s BRADY brand as well.

If Brady does show up for a Buffs game it won’t be the first time, he was actually an honorary captain for Colorado’s clash at the Big House with his alma mater Michigan in 2016.
