*Deion Sanders has a unique way of selecting Colorado players to lead his team on the field.
“I don’t believe in captains,” Sander said on a recent edition of “Undisputed,” Fox News reports.
Instead of designating players as captains, Sanders has “leaders” and “dawgs.”
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the coach’s son, for instance, sports an “L ” on his jersey to designate him as a “leader.” While Two-way star Travis Hunter is a “dawg.”
“He loves the game,” Sanders said of Hunter. “He does not tire of loving the game and wanting to be in the game and studying the game and all the intricate details of the game. He and Shedeur can just look at each other and know what to do.”
Earlier this year, Sanders caught heat over comments he made about his recruiting process for young Black male athletes, EUR reported. During an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show,” he said the ideal quarterback should come from a “dual parent” home.
“Well, we have different attributes. Smart, tough, fast, disciplined with character. Now, quarterbacks are different,” Sanders said.
“We want mother, father. Dual parent. We want that kid to be 3.5 [GPA] and up. Because he has to be smart. Not bad decisions off the field, at all. Because he has to be a leader of men,” he added.
When it comes to choosing defensive linemen, the former Jackson State University coach said he prefers athletes who are raised by single mothers.
“Defensive linemen is totally opposite. Single mama, trying to get it, he’s on free lunch,” Sanders continued. “I’m talking about just trying to make it. He’s trying to rescue mama. Like mama barely made the flight. And I want him to just go get it.”
He added: “It’s a whole different attribute that you look for in different positions. And we have that stuff just chronicled. We know what we want, and we go get it.”
