Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are preparing for the Spring Game later this month. The goals for next season are clear and are built off last year's failures. When asked what was one of the things Sanders learned in his first season at Colorado, he responded with "Don't take sacks." That seems to the main emphasis this offseason by improving the offensive line. 

CU "Grown" leader talked about what improvements he has seen so far. "The main thing that we've got to give credit to is the O-line. That's the main improvement, I'll say. This year I feel like everybody really understands that we're all trying to get to the next level, and we're all trying to win." 

Sanders was asked about his confidence with a rebuilt offensive line, including Jordan Seaton. The five-star anchor from IMG Academy came to Boulder after passing up many offers. He even said "No, thank you" to a multi-million dollar deal from Tennessee. Sanders feels he's one of the best and glad to have him as part of the protection unit.

"I'm extremely confident. I would say Jordan, definitely showed me that he's ready He showed me a lot that I really didn't expect. I understand he's young, he's going to have growing pains, but really just the fact that he's able to listen on and off the field." Sanders went on to say, "I'm really excited, I'm really happy about Jordan. I'm happy he made the decision, because I feel like it's the right one. He's definitely a generational player." 

Colorado will look to improve on last year's 4-8 record. Knowing that Sanders and Travis Hunter will have even more talent around them, makes the Buffaloes one of the most underrated teams in the Big 12 conference. The addition of Seaton, as well as the other offensive lineman transfers should give Sanders more time to continue to make dynamic plays and push Colorado into being a contender.
