The projected 2025 No. 1 draft pick found himself under the negative limelight again after audaciously claiming that his team, the Colorado Buffaloes is everyone’s Super Bowl. This absurd comparison of a college football team to the Super Bowl didn’t sit well with many, including analyst Paul Finebaum. 

The expert analyst criticized Coach Prime and his son, Shedeur Sanders’ impudent claim by calling him “irrelevant” in college football. However, not everyone agrees with him as former NFL player Robert Griffin III publicly disagreed with Finebaum’s criticism and defended Deion Sanders and his son by sharing a social media post on X.

I VEHEMENTLY disagree with Paul Finebaum’s criticism of Coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur Sanders, and Colorado. Colorado is very relevant and broke TV viewership records last year even after their 3-0 start that saw them finish the year 4-8.

He further argued even though Deion’s first season with the Buffaloes didn’t go well, there was a massive spike in the audience.

Griffin defended Shedeur’s claim saying that he wasn’t entirely wrong if you try to understand it. Given, that throughout the last college football season, any team competing against the Buffaloes viewed the match as a ‘Super Bowl game’ and also the hardest match of the season.
