After two seasons with the Jackon State Tigers, Deion Sanders' son Shedeur Sanders followed his father to take over as the starting QB of the Colorado Buffaloes last season. Despite being the most sacked QB of the 2023 season, Shedeur recorded a total of 3,230 passing yards and 27 TD passes.

During a 2023 interview with Complex Sports, Shedeur Sanders was questioned about his game and if his playstyle was similar to NFL legends Tom Brady or Michael Vick. The young QB answered by stating that he has the qualities of both seven-time Super Bowl champ Brady and four-time Pro Bowler Vick, and it depends on how the game requires him to play.

"I'll say it's a mixture because I'm able to stay in the pocket and deliver the ball. I can play like Brady, but I'm also able to extend plays and if it's not there, take it like Vick.
"So it just depends, it's funny whenever the situations in the game occcurs, they're like, 'Hey, you gotta be Vick tonight. You gotta be Mike Vick tonight.' So that's when we bring our legs involved."

Shedeur Sanders' confidence may be impressive, but he still has a lot to prove on the gridiron. Despite his best efforts, the Colorado Buffaloes finished with a 4-8 overall campaign last season. With head coach Deion Sanders revamping the roster ahead of their Big 12 reunion, Shedeur will be expected to take charge and carve out a more successful season.
