Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders showcased his talent last Saturday, setting a school record with a staggering 510 yards passing, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions against the TCU Horned Frogs.
Of course, the remarkable 45-42 upset victory propelled the Buffaloes back into the coveted AP Top 25 rankings for the first time since their brief appearance in 2020.
His performance that day drew praise from virtually the entire football world. However, it was a simple yet meaningful text message from a certain football icon that caught everyone’s attention.
Colorado sports personality Ryan Koenigsberg disclosed that Sanders received a three-worded text message from none other than seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady following his spectacular performance in the win over TCU.
The message was simple yet very motivating: “Don’t be satisfied.”

It’s clear what Brady was trying to convey to the young quarterback – the importance of staying focused and hungry despite being showered with attention and praise.
Throwing for over 500 yards in a single game is undoubtedly an incredible feat, but it’s just one step in what is hopefully a long and successful football journey for Shedeur.
Sanders has been fortunate to train with Brady in the past, and it appears that the NFL legend is keen to see him maintain his drive and ambition throughout the season.
With Deion Sanders as his father and coach, there’s little doubt that Shedeur will have a guiding hand to ensure complacency never sets in.
