LAS VEGAS — Colorado football coach Deion Sanders walked onto the stage and confused reporters for parishioners.
“Good to see you. How are you all doing?” Sanders said from the Allegiant Field end zone stage. “I need more energy. This is horrible. If I was in church I would get up and walk out.”
Sanders wasn’t going anywhere, embracing his turn in the spotlight during the second day of the Big 12 media carwash. After shoutouts to UCF coach Gus Malzahn, who recruited Shedeur Sanders as a high school sophomore, and Texas Tech boss Joey McGuire, who coached Deion Sanders Jr. in high school, Sanders broke out stats to debunk criticism of his process.
