You could say Shedeur Sanders pulled off a Tom Brady late in Colorado's game against Colorado State this weekend. Fans took to social media en masse after the thrilling 43-35 OT win for Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes to hail quarterback Shedeur's antics.

Per the Associated Press, it was the biggest fourth-quarter comeback for Colorado since 2005.

Shedeur himself said he went 'Brady Mode' late to seal the win in double overtime.

Tom Brady certainly took notice on Sunday.

Tom Brady goes big on compliments after Shedeur Sanders pulls off stunning win for Colorado

After the Colorado Buffaloes QB went supernova to pull off a win, he said:

"All I was thinking was Brady mode. That's it."

Brady circled back to that this morning, posting on Instagram:

"I just want to go Shedeur mode at some point in life."

The young Colorado quarterback finished the game with 348 passing yards and four touchdowns.

Brady has seemingly been mentoring Sanders off the field. After their first game of the season, Deion Sanders' son said that the former QB texted him after the win.

“It was cool hearing from him, knowing he’s still watching."

The young QB also said that he has been working with the Patriots legend, who's helping him understand to not just focus on the good things, but also pay attention to the bad things.

Where does Tom Brady stand on a potential return to the NFL?

There were rumors last week that the New York Jets were considering enticing Brady out of retirement after Aaron Rodgers' season-ending Achilles injury.

Those rumors, however, were quickly shot down on social media.

Technically, Brady could still make a return to the NFL, considering his move to join the Raiders ownership has not yet been made official. That could come in October at the Fall Meeting, per Ian Rapoport, or later in December.

Until then, Brady could still make a stunning return to the gridiron, though the possibility of that happening is minuscule.
