Colorado football coach Deion Sanders made the trip to Las Vegas to watch his quarterback son Shedeur’s debut Sunday Nov. 23 as starting quarterback of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns.
Sanders’s Instagram account shared a video of them embracing before the Browns played the Las Vegas Raiders.
"Prime Time!" Shedeur said as he greeted his dad.
A small group of Shedeur’s supporters also came out on the field with Deion Sanders, including Shedeur’s private quarterback trainer Darrell Colbert Jr., his older brother Deion Sanders Jr. and Sanders’ business manager Constance Schwartz-Morini.
After Shedeur completed a 53-yard pass early in the game, CBS cameras showed the cowboy-hatted father smiling, cheering and animated in his perch at Allegiant Stadium.
Deion Sanders had been undecided as recently as Nov. 20 about whether to attend his son’s NFL starting debut in person. His team just dropped a 42-17 loss at home against Arizona State the night before to fall to 3-8 this season. His team also often practices on Sundays. But family won the day in the end, with Sanders noting Shedeur came back to Boulder to surprise him during the Browns’ recent bye weekend.
Deion Sanders said on the “Colorado Football Coaches Show” Nov. 20 he was urged to attend the game.
“You don’t want to be his distraction, but not that I would ever would be,” Sanders said on the show. “But then you think, ‘You know, he came all the way up here to see you?’ So that’s even (a) shorter trip to see him. You start thinking that as a dad, you know. Because you know what it means to him if he just catch a glimpse of him before he walks out.”
That’s what the video showed, a short moment between father and son before he took the field in Las Vegas.
Deion Sanders misses his youngest son and not just as a father. His team has struggled without him in Colorado. The Buffaloes finish the season at Kansas State on Nov. 29.
