Deion Sanders is anything but conventional. And apparently, the new Colorado coach got rid of an age-old football tradition and replaced it with something much more fitting for “Prime Time.”
Sanders doesn’t have any captains on his team, so no players don the coveted “C” on their jerseys. Instead, players were seen with a “D” or an “L” where the captain insignia would usually go during the team’s 45–42 upset win over TCU on Saturday. Apparently, Sanders has named certain players to be “Dawgs” or “Leaders,” Buffaloes assistant athletic director Curtis Snyder said.
Before the unranked Colorado squad shocked the football world, Sanders sent kicker Jace Feely, cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, defensive lineman Shane Cokes and quarterback Shedeur Sanders to the coin toss.
