$60 million man Deion Sanders' Colorado players bless special kids with unforgettable memories at Boulder ft. JuJu Lewis

Deion Sanders will begin a new chapter of his journey with the Colorado Buffaloes this year, with his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, and other key players entering the NFL Draft. Coach Prime, who's worth $60 million (as per Celebrity Net Worth) utilized the offseason to revamp his coaching staff and roster.

Amid their offseason preparations, Deion Sanders' team had a fun-filled time at their football facility. On Friday, the Buffs' IG page shared a post highlighting the visit of children from Special Olympics Colorado. According to their bio on Instagram, the non-profit organization works to help "end discrimination against individuals with intellectual disabilities."

The post shared by the Buffs included a series of snippets showcasing the players enjoying their time with the specially abled kids. One clip showcased Jeremiah Brown sharing a heart-warming moment on the field playing with a kid. Another snippet showcased five-star freshman quarterback Julian Lewis interacting with the children. The kids also participated in some fun-filled drills with the players.

Deion Sanders' biggest question this offseason was who would succeed his son, Shedeur, at quarterback. Shedeur spent the past two years as the QB1. Colorado recruited Julian Lewis out of high school as a potential replacement.

Moreover, the Buffs secured the transfer of ex-Liberty quarterback Kaidon Salter. The two have been competing throughout the offseason to be the starting quarterback in 2025, but Coach Prime is yet to make a decision.
