BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Deion Sanders doesn't believe in waiting for tributes, honors or statues.

“Give people their flowers while they can enjoy them and they can smell them," the Colorado coach said Saturday after the spring game.

That applies to his QB son, Shedeur, and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, who were on hand as their jerseys were retired before the game.
