Tom Brady sent an inspirational message to Deion Sanders' son after he led Colorado to huge upset win

• Colorado kicked off the Deion Sanders era with a huge upset win over TCU.
• The Buffaloes were led by Sanders' son, Shedeur Sanders, who threw for over 500 yards.

The Deion Sanders train has arrived to big-time college football, and some big names are on board.

"Coach Prime," as Sanders has become known, is in his first season as the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, and in one game, his team has as many wins as the school had in the entire 2022 season, going 1-11. And it wasn't just any win either. The Buffs went on the road and beat 17th-ranked TCU, a three-touchdown favorite.

Colorado was led by their two stars, two-way player Travis Hunter and Coach Prime's son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

Both players, who played for Coach Prime at Jackson State and transferred to Colorado after his hiring, are emerging from his shadow and are now among the favorites to win this year's Heisman Trophy. But Shedeur already had the greatest quarterback of all time in his corner even before the big win.

"He texted me after the game saying, 'Don't be satisfied,'" Shedeur told the media. "It's cool hearing from him, knowing he is still watching."

Shedeur has been working with Brady since at least 2020, before his senior year of high school. He shared images of the pair working out that year.

Shedeur later became the first individual college athlete to sign a Name Image and Likeness deal with Brady's own Brady apparel brand. According to Boardroom, in addition to wearing Brady gear, Shedeur was also to become involved in product development and testing.

Brady spoke about Colorado's win on his podcast, saying he was ready to "run through my iPhone" after hearing Coach Prime's pregame speech. He also noted that the success of Shedeur "speaks to great parenting" and compared it to his own upbringing.

While speaking to the media, Shedeur shared a little about what he learned from Brady during their time together.

"Understanding how to improve each week," Shedeur said. "Working with him really helped me to understand, don't focus on the good things. We did that. That's nice. We were going to do that regardless. Focus on the bad things. Focus on the things we wasn't able to do at a high level. Improve that, you've got full armor everywhere."

As for Coach Prime, he told us he was coming, and he kept the receipts from the doubters. This one win doesn't feel like a fluke.
