College football may not have a team with bigger shoes to fill than Colorado. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders and wide receiver/cornerback (and Heisman winner) Travis Hunter are in the NFL now, and the two former college stars leave three giant roster spots open.
Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders acknowledged the work his team has to do to fill those gaps this year during his press conference at Big 12 media days on Wednesday. And while no one would argue that there could be addition by subtraction with two players like Sanders and Hunter, he still believes that Colorado as a whole will be better than the squad that went 9–4 in 2024–25.
