BOULDER, Colo. -- As Shedeur Sanders left the podium after his news conference at Colorado's pro day, this year known as the "WE AIN'T HARD 2 FIND Showcase 2025," he was greeted by Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton, who gave him the kind of hug suggesting they had known each other for years.
"Last time I saw you, you were just a young pup!" Payton said, as three different videographers swarmed to document their interaction.
Sanders first met Payton as a kid because of the connection to his dad, Hall of Famer Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders.
