Colorado TE coach’s strong message on ‘elite’ Shedeur Sanders

Colorado football tight ends coach Tim Brewster believes Shedeur Sanders is the top talent the rest of the Buffaloes offense needs to acquiesce to — going as far as saying CU needs to meet Deion Sanders’ son “on his level.”

“We have an absolutely elite, I’m talking about top level elite quarterback,” Brewster said about Sanders (h/t BuffsBeat). “The challenge for us offensively is to meet him on his level. (Sanders) is playing with confidence and poise. He processes stuff extremely well. Mike Shanahan, when I was at Denver, wanted to know one thing about quarterbacks, how quickly could they process information? He’s doing an amazing job.”

Coach Prime, will be bringing over a good number of his son’s offensive weapons from Jackson State, which is also where Brewster came from. WR Willie Gaines, RB Sy’Veon Wilkerson, and star CB/WR Travis Hunter all joined Sanders from the Tigers.

Ex-Colorado football head coach not worried about Shedeur Sanders’ adjustment

Ex-Colorado football head coach Gary Barnett told KOA on July 30 (h/t BuffsBeat) that he doesn’t expect Sanders to experience any sort of difficulty transitioning to a Power Five conference from the HBCU ranks.

“(Shedeur’s) chance to play at a Power Five level and make the adjustment… Everybody is speculating as to whether or not that can happen, I don’t see that as being a big deal,” Barnett prefaced before saying, “I’ve watched this young man play (and) practice. He’s got all the tools. He’s going to have the coaching behind him, and I don’t mean just in his dad. But I’m talking about his position coach and (Sean Lewis). That’s going to let him become an even better player than what he has been.”

Sanders has done nothing but impress during fall camp, so the only negative slant one can have on Shedeur probably has more to do with their disdain for the bombastic coaching style of his father.
