Colorado coach Deion Sanders says recent backlash against decision to retire jersey numbers is because it involves his son Shedeur

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders spoke Thursday about the recent announcement that the university will retire the jersey numbers of Travis Hunter (No. 12) and quarterback Shedeur Sanders (No. 2) at the Buffaloes’ spring football game Saturday.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders doesn't understand why the jersey retirement of Shedeur Sanders has become a controversial topic. "Not really," Sanders said when a reporter mentioned jersey retirements could be a "sore subject" while discussing Colorado's recent decision to do so for Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter (6:30 mark).
