The Colorado football program has had a very successful season up to this point, with Deion Sanders currently in the running for a Coach of the Year nod and the team sitting pretty at 7-2, with legitimate playoff aspirations.

The move echoes one Sanders made during his own draft process in 1989. The Giants asked draft prospects to take a two-hour psychological assessment at the NFL Scouting Combine. Upon learning the Giants had the 18th pick in the draft, Sanders declined to take the assessment.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders is not afraid to pull some strings in order to ensure that his son, Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and two-way phenom Travis Hunter end up on the right team come NFL Draft night.
