Deion Sanders Trolled by Jaheim Ward, Shades Shilo's Stats amid Colorado-APSU Beef

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders spent Wednesday morning going back and forth with his detractors on social media, but one of them had a mean comeback for Coach Prime.

When Sanders posted a tweet disparaging Austin Peay defensive back Jaheim Ward's stats, Ward fired back that he eclipsed Sanders' son, Colorado safety Shilo Sanders, in a key stat:

Coach Prime also threw a shot at a fan who called out his son, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, for acting "like he the coldest out here then put up a 4-8 season." He responded by declaring that the signal-caller would be a top-five pick in the NFL draft and asking, "Where yo son going?"

The social media activity by Sanders is a continuation of the fallout from a story by The Athletic's Max Olson about the 53 scholarship players who left Colorado after Sanders was hired as head coach in December 2022. Xavier Smith, who transferred from Colorado to Austin Peay, told Olson that Sanders "was destroying guys' confidence and belief in themselves" by virtually forcing them to enter the transfer portal.

To make matters worse, Shedeur Sanders responded to the story by calling Smith "very mid":

In his first year as Colorado's head coach, Sanders led the team to a 4-8 record. The Buffaloes are in for another massive roster turnover, as Chris Hummer of CBS Sports noted that 24 players entered the transfer portal since it opened on April 16. Colorado is set to add 34 new players via the portal, giving the team the sixth-ranked transfer class in the country, per 247Sports.

Sanders is known and loved for his antics, but at this point, it could be best for him to tone things down while Colorado prepares for the 2024 season.
