Despite his high-profile status and commanding personality, Colorado football coach Deion Sanders shares a common parental concern: wanting the best for his daughter.
"I'm the only one that's honest about ranking my kids. You guys act like you all love them the same and you don't." 🤣@DeionSanders gives the latest update on his kids' Power Rankings ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/WUP8FMg7l7

Shelomi Sanders, a 19-year-old redshirt freshman guard embarking on her first season at Colorado, has earned the protective instincts of her father, Coach Prime. During a recent press conference, Sanders openly expressed his deep affection for his youngest child:
“That’s my baby girl and my heart,” Coach Sanders stated, addressing reporters. “I love all my kids, but I love them differently as I tell you all the time.”
Amid light-hearted banter, Sanders humorously added:
“She has a witness protection program with her brothers. She’s never dated, and probably won’t get married until she’s 40.”
Sanders has previously mentioned that he occasionally ranks his five children. Shelomi, affectionately nicknamed “Bossy,” seemed to have been placed lower in the coach’s recent rankings, playfully designated at around “3 to 4.”
