Coach Prime Motivated His WR Jimmy Horn Jr. To Go Big After a Rough Start
In a high-stakes showdown between Colorado Buffaloes and Colorado State Rams, Jimmy Horn Jr., the Buffaloes’ wide receiver, initially had a tough start, marked by a crucial dropped pass. However, Coach Prime, known for his unique approach to young talents, quickly stepped in to uplift Horn Jr.’s spirits.
Sanders provided much-needed consolation, ensuring that Horn Jr. stays focused on the game’s outcome, rather than dwelling on the missed opportunity. Deion opened up to Bleacher Report about what he said to Horn Jr during the game. “We had an incident on the sideline this last game with Jimmy was having a horrific game. He’s a receiver. And I said, ‘Jimmy, you’re a dog. You from Florida, man. And guess what? Pop is at the crib. He’s watching you right now. He wants to clap in front of all his different inmates because he believes in his son. We gonna make pops proud tonight.”
