Playing for Deion Sanders comes with sky-high expectations, intense hype, and everything that follows.

X (formerly Twitter) can turn toxic fast—whether it's opposing fan bases or even Colorado's own fans piling on.

Former Campbell standout Sincere Brown witnessed that firsthand during his final year of eligibility and only season with the Buffs.

The wide receiver played in all 12 games for the Buffs last season, starting in 11 of them while logging the most snaps at his position. He finished third on the team with 22 receptions, 376 yards, and two touchdowns.

Sincere Brown provides a sincere warning to Colorado players

He's right—in the social media age where everyone has an opinion online, the constant noise can drain and demoralize young collegiate athletes the moment they open an app. It's best for them to ignore it and keep moving forward.

I've seen it firsthand on X, and this doesn't just apply to the Colorado team—it's a reality for every team in the nation and a valuable lesson for all players.

Colorado's 3-9 season was one to forget. The team finished with just one conference win, and fans let them hear about it on X. From quarterback play to Deion's timeout management, from the defense as a whole to the cornerback room specifically—there was always something to criticize.

Coach Prime's revamped defense has fans optimistic about the 2026 campaign, with key additions like Boo Carter, Liona Lefau, Gideon Lampron, Santana Hopper, and many more. They're looking to turn the page on Colorado's down year and revive the program.
