Shedeur Sanders reveals what Tom Brady texted him after Colorado win

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders — son of NFL legend and Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders — got a message from one of the sport’s all-time greats after his team’s major upset win this past weekend.

In his first game as the school’s QB, Sanders had a big day in the Buffaloes’ 45-42 win over then-No. 17 TCU on Saturday, throwing for four touchdowns while throwing for a school-record 510 yards.

But for Sanders, the coolest moment of the entire experience was getting back to his locker and seeing a text message from Tom Brady.

The future Hall-of-Famer, who has worked out with the Colorado signal-caller, had some words of wisdom for the 21-year-old. 

“Working with Tom it was just talking to him and understanding how to improve each week,” Sanders, who has a NIL deal with Brady’s apparel company Brady Brand, told reporters Tuesday. “He texted me after the game, ‘Don’t be satisfied.’ Like it’s cool, so it was cool hearing from him knowing he’s still watching and stuff like that.

“But just working with him, it really helped me just understand don’t focus on the good things.

“We did that. … We’re going to do that regardless. Focus on the bad things. Focus on the things we wasn’t able to do at a high level. Improve that.”

With all the hype around Colorado, things are off to a good start for the Sanders family — both the head coach and quarterback. 

Deion Sanders took over a team that had just one win last season and completely retooled the roster via the transfer portal and beat TCU in a thrilling opening-game win.

The coach said his son had extra motivation from TCU’s offensive coordinator Kendal Briles.

“The reason he was so intense and relaxed and ready — not only did he study, but we went to the camp of a certain school, and a certain coordinator we just played against, he’s the offensive coordinator, he was at that school, and we went to that school’s camp, and he didn’t pay [Shedeur] no attention,” Deion said on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday.

“I don’t even think he barely spoke to him. He just pushed him off to the side.”

Colorado, now ranked No. 22 in the AP Top 25 poll, will take on Nebraska on Saturday in the school’s first home game of the year.
