Deion Sanders dismisses pressure at Colorado amid roster changes

Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders expressed confidence in his ability to lead the Buffaloes during preseason camp, dismissing the pressure following a 3-9 season. Sanders stated, "I apply pressure. I don't feel pressure," noting that the challenges of football do not compare to real-life struggles faced by individuals dealing with poverty or illness. He maintained, "I'm really good at this," regarding his coaching capabilities.

Offensive coordinator Brennan Marion is focusing on supporting redshirt freshman quarterback Julian Lewis by implementing a system designed to help him "play free." Marion aims to utilize quarterback-friendly plays and a strengthened offensive line to reduce the burden on Lewis, citing his previous success with quarterback Jayden Maiava at UNLV as a blueprint for developing young talent.
