On Wednesday, Sanders responded to a fan on X that criticized Shedeur Sanders. After the fan called the Buffaloes' quarterback "the coldest out here" before adding that he'll "put up a 4-8 season," the elder Sanders replied.

The criticism by the fan stemmed from Shedeur's comments regarding Xavier Smith, a former Colorado player who entered the transfer portal. Smith wasn't pleased with the way Deion recommended players to hit the portal after he joined the team as head coach in Dec. 2022.

It's clear that the elder Sanders isn't taking the social media comments too seriously, and is entertaining himself as he prepares for the 2024 season to begin. The Buffaloes will look to build upon their 4-8 record in 2023 with Shedeur and two-way star Travis Hunter returning to the program.
