Keyshawn Johnson gave his two cents on the much-talked-about rumor across college football: Deion Sanders leaving Colorado football to take up another job at Florida State.
"Prime will be in Colorado next year. He wouldn't take a job at FSU now because they didn't even give him an opportunity or a chance. Because Colorado kid pay the same amount of money. And I understand the geographic location, but he loves Colorado. And I know people think he's just a fast talker, I get it. But he's part of the community now. He can win and change lives," Keyshawn said on "All Facts No Breaks" podcast.
The analyst is not buying the rumor of Sanders leaving Colorado, given their recent soaring success in the Big 12 and multiplying fanbases. Colorado is now bowl-eligible with a high chance of actually making it to the top 12 teams, and potentially, the playoffs.
On3's Phillip Dukes in agreement with Keyshawn's words
On3's former pro-Colorado voice Phillip Dukes, who was recently let go by On3 as per Coach Prime, is also on Johnson's side in Prime not leaving Colorado. Dukes's reason is simple.
“If you Deion Sanders, why would you leave Colorado? You in the Big 12, right. You're in a conference where it's more balanced, and you have the potential to be that powerhouse, because nobody in that conference can recruit with the national imprint the way Colorado does," Dukes said. "Nobody in that conference can provide the type of exposure that Colorado can. Why would you leave?
"... So, I don't see him leaving, and I think that when you look how Colorado is set up they got everything. They got the facilities, bro. Like I said, they got the NIL ."
With the developments Coach Prime is making in Colorado, his leaving anytime soon looks like a serious long shot.
