Deion Sanders, coach of the Colorado Buffaloes since 2023, recently signed a five-year, $54 million contract extension with the team.

Now, he hopes that the Buffs will reach new heights with his experience and guidance. But not only with his help, but also with that of great figures who understand and have lived through the demands of the sport.

And this approach to training has yielded great results not only for newcomers, but also for those leaving Boulder.

Without going any further, Hall of Famers such as Marshall Faulk and Warren Sapp have already accompanied several Colorado players. Now, Sanders has made headlines for his statements and his new additions.

Stars that would make Boulder shine

In his most recent public appearance after spending time at his ranch in Canton, Texas due to health issues, he spoke at Big 12 Football Media Days and made it clear that he would not mention details about his illness. However, he told ESPN that he is “back.”

In addition, he also stole the spotlight and made clear his desire to bring in two more prominent names: Mike Zimmer and Byron Leftwich.

Our coaching staff, this is without Byron Leftwich, which I’m praying that he does the right thing, and Mike Zimmer, we have 160 years of NFL experience. With those two added, that’s 204 years of NFL experience. And I want those years.

Without a doubt, their addition would be one of the biggest consolidations in the team, as their potential, experience, and knowledge would enhance Sanders’ team, which is delivering and building future talent for the NFL.

After losing their two stars, two-way player Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders to the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns respectively, the Buffs are looking to strengthen the team with the best minds as guides.

Zimmer, for example, already shared his defensive mindset and league experience with Coach Prime at Jackson State and would undoubtedly be a great asset to the Buffs. And Byron Leftwich is not far behind.

Selected in the first round of the 2003 Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, his time in the NFL was also marked by his role as offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There, the acquisition of Tom Brady and Super Bowl LV crowned his career with the team.

For this reason, it is not unreasonable that Deion wants to add these key pieces to his team so that his players can grow personally and professionally surrounded by the experience and wisdom of Zimmer and Leftwich.

NFL preseason scores and live updates: Giants leading Patriots in second half; Steelers beat Panthers

Playing some catch-up, here’s Jaxson Dart’s final line today ...6-for-12, 81 pass yards, one touchdown pass, no interceptions, 23 rushing yards on one attempt.His final line would have been even better if not for two dropped passes by Jaylin Hyatt, a holding penalty that negated another first-down throw and a quick concussion check that gave Jameis Winston an opportunity to throw a touchdown pass, which the veteran capitalized on.All in all, a fitting end to what has been a very, very impressive preseason for the Giants’ rookie quarterback.
