Deion Sanders says attitude has changed most since arriving at Colorado
Deion Sanders said the attitude of the Colorado football program has changed since he arrived on campus.
The school hired the Pro Football Hall of Famer away from Jackson State. Sanders was nothing but successful on and off the field at the HBCU. Right now, so far, so good in Boulder.
Sanders detailed what changed since he arrived on Colorado’s campus and what he saw from his team and other athletics.

“Our attitudes,” Sanders said of what’s changed. “Everyone in this building has a commitment to excellence, everyone in this building is on a team, everyone is building the blocks and you stand on your mark. They’re ready to go. Everyone has a different pep in their step about them, every one. They see it. They see that you know, it can really happen. Hope has been reestablished. I truly believe, I think, it’s been there but sometimes you just need that light, that switch of hope.
“Hope is in the house, hope is in the air, hope is in a city, hope is in the community hope is within you all. And you want to write good stuff and you don’t want to write bad stuff. You want to write good stuff.”
The new Colorado head coach doubled down on what he saw after National Signing Day.
“This place is unbelievable,” Sanders said. “I think you see that. And I believe that. It’s not even work to me. This is pure joy, to get up and come to pure joy every day in smiling faces from the cafeteria, all the way walking on the floors when you get in an elevator with different persons, that’s one of my most enjoyable moments. It’s sitting in the cafeteria and seeing the other sports participants eating and sitting together and that’s one of my most memorable moments because I can see everybody.
“I went to the lacrosse game this week. I couldn’t stay long because we had some big time recruits in the house. But that was beautiful. And I actually picked up a stick and threw the ball. I should have got into lacrosse like Jim Brown, I think I would’ve been nice with it. A brother with a stick? Oh, that’s something ain’t it?”
