When questioned about his father’s remarkable ability to relate to college athletes, Shedeur, in front of Brady, who was also a part of the panel, attributed it to a simple reason – “I would say ’cause he has kids. Because he has us, and we’re gonna tell him straight up, like, ‘come on, dad, you’re going too far now. This is outrageous.’ And he’s able to read the room, and just know when people have the energy.”
While Shedeur shared this unique insight, Tom Brady didn’t hesitate to applaud the wisdom behind the coaching approach of Deion Sanders. It’s clear that the exceptional coaching skills of Coach Prime, coupled with the candid feedback from his own son, has created a vibe that is benefitting both the team and the players.
