The entire Sanders family is known for their flash and swagger. Deion Sanders leads the charge as Colorado's head coach and the Pro Football Hall of Famer, effectively known as "Prime Time" during his playing days. Shedeur and Shilo Sanders show much of the same swag as their father.
Shedeur became known for his signature "watch flex" celebration, which has become popular among other professional athletes. Now, Shilo, who showed his style on the field during his two seasons at Colorado, is giving back to his Buffs' family.
In a video posted to Instagram by new Colorado defensive lineman Tawfiq Thomas, he showed off a new Apple Watch, which was gifted to him by Shilo Sanders.
Thomas can be heard in the video shouting, "Apple Watch after workout, Yes sir, Shilo! Yes, sir Shilo!"
The gesture isn't surprising considering Sanders was the Buffaloes' defensive leader the past two seasons, but the fact that he is gifting the watches to players who weren't even his teammates speaks volumes.
Deion Sanders is establishing a culture in Boulder, and his sons are taking that to heart, helping to leave a legacy that will hopefully continue for years to come.
Shilo is now in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Still, he is showing that he wants Colorado's current roster to feel his support, which can undoubtedly pay huge dividends when trying to keep a roster intact during the ever-evolving college football landscape.
Colorado will need a strong locker room this season as they enter 2025 with the Big 12's toughest conference slate and one of the toughest overall schedules in the conference.
The Buffaloes will open their season with a Friday night home game against Georgia Tech on Aug. 29.

Rockies Suffer Major Loss Before Mets Game
Rockies Suffer Major Loss Before Mets Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Colorado Rockies are as hot as a 12-50 team could be heading into their bout with the New York Mets on Friday night. They swept the Miami Marlins on the road in their last series after losing their previous seven contests, outscoring them 12-8 over the three games. Advertisement Colorado's offense has been unreliable, as they've scored at least four runs in just five of their last 20 games. Even in their sweep of the Marlins, the Rockies won the latter two contests 3-2 after winning the opener 6-4. The team will now have to play New York without an important bat, via Rockies PR. Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (14).Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Colorado placed shortstop Ezequiel Tovar on the 10-day IL (retroactive to June 3) with a left oblique strain ahead of the game. It also selected the contract of infielder Ryan Ritter from Triple-A Albuquerque, recalled catcher Braxton Fulford from Triple-A, reinstated right-handed pitcher Zach Agnos from the bereavement list, and unconditionally released catcher Jacob Stallings. Tovar is slashing .258/.301/406 with three homers and 10 RBI over 32 games this season. The 23-year-old had a career year in 2024, slashing .269/.295/.469 with 26 homers and 78 RBI over 157 contests. Advertisement Meanwhile, the Mets are coming off a 2-2 series split vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road. They hold a 1.5-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies for first place in the NL East and are a half-game behind the Chicago Cubs for the NL's top seed. New York will finish its road trip in Colorado before hosting the Washington Nationals.

It has all different types of people," said Mayra Alejandra. Performing at Global Fest is a dream come true for Alejandra. And it's her belief that Selena too would have loved taking the stage at the celebration of international cultures. "Her goal was to unite. And this unites people, and that's what we need more than ever right now. We need unison. We need each other," added Alejandra. She admires how Selena overcame barriers and stayed true to herself, when others tried to limit her. "Her music, it just, it makes me so happy and it makes everyone happy. Including the beats, the lyrics, they each have like a message, a happy message," said Alejandra. Selena by Mayra Alejandra She says it stands to reason that Selena maintains such a hold on our culture, even 30 years after her death. She feels shaped by Selena herself and understands why others derive so much joy from her tribute performances. "She was full of love and compassionate and so down to earth that people could relate to her," said Alejandra. "She's a star that was shining her own light, she was a true star." Performing as Selena -- says Mayra Alejandra -- is about sharing happiness. Global Fest will also feature a Selena look-alike contest. CBS Colorado is excited to be a sponsor.
