During the Colorado Buffaloes‘ Pro Day event, a moment of tension caught the attention of many. Coach Deion Sanders, famously known as “Coach Prime,” was seen confronting an NFL scout who was working with his son Shilo and other players in preparation for drills.
This interaction highlighted Sanders’ determination to protect his players and assert his authority on the field, even in front of professional scouts.
Coach Prime defends his players’ approach
The incident occurred as an NFL scout appeared to be offering advice on how the players should start their 40-yard dash drills.
Sanders, however, disagreed with the guidance and immediately stepped in to challenge the scout’s instructions. The legendary coach told his players to ignore the scout’s advice, encouraging them to “do what you all do” and to start in their own way, regardless of the scout’s stance.
This move by Sanders sparked a great deal of social media buzz, with videos from the confrontation circulating widely. Deion Sanders Jr. took to TikTok to clarify his father’s intentions, explaining that the disagreement was based on the scout’s insistence on a specific starting position, which Sanders felt was unnecessary.
“He was talking about u can’t use the white line bu u can… u can take up all the white line as u want,” Deion Sanders Jr. wrote in the reply section of the TikTok video.
Sanders Jr. emphasized that players should have the freedom to use the entire white line during their starts, which was a point of contention during the confrontation.
The moment was a strong display of Sanders’ leadership style and his protective nature toward his players. It’s clear that he is deeply committed to ensuring they succeed on their own terms, without external pressure or micromanagement from scouts or outside sources.
As the players showcased their talents at the event, it remains to be seen how the Pro Day will influence their draft prospects. However, one thing is certain: Coach Prime’s commitment to his players and their autonomy will continue to be a defining feature of his coaching philosophy.

Fantasy football 2025 NFL Draft player grades: Every pick from Cam Ward to Brashard Smith and more
The 2025 NFL Draft might be done, but the excitement is still bubbling over. It’s time for NFL draft grades for fantasy football. If you haven’t seen this piece from past years, each player gets two grades. The first draft grade is redraft-only value (2025). The second is the player’s dynasty grade/potential.AdvertisementThe draft grades are weighted in tiers of sorts. A’s are your stars — players who can or will become a No. 1 at their position (RB1, TE1, etc.). For B’s, we’re talking about second and some third-tier starters in all leagues. When we get to C’s, those are fringe starters, maybe some boom/bust plays, etc. D’s are waiver wire players with maybe some Best Ball or the rare bye week/matchup play potential. Any player graded lower is a non-factor in fantasy.For those wanting to go deeper, you can […]
