Colorado Football Secures Four National TV Games Amid Sanders Transition

Despite losing star players Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter to the NFL, the Colorado Buffaloes football program under Coach Deion Sanders remains highly visible and competitive. Joel Klatt suggests the team will maintain respectability this season with transfer quarterback Kaidon Salter leading the offense and five-star recruit Julian Lewis as a promising future talent, though the strength of the Big 12 conference poses a challenge. Colorado's national profile continues to grow with multiple nationally televised games in 2025, reflecting sustained interest and high viewership since Sanders' arrival. Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders is making a strong impression in the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition during offseason workouts, showing improved mechanics and accuracy that position him as a legitimate contender among veterans. Although veteran quarterbacks Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett are considered frontrunners, Sanders' performance signals potential for a significant role in the Browns' future. The Buffaloes' on-field and media prominence, combined with Sanders' NFL progress, highlight ongoing momentum for both the college program and its former star quarterback.
