Deion Sanders ‘would love’ for JuJu Lewis to tell media ‘what happened’ after QB’s demotion

Deion Sanders insists that his son, Julian Lewis, is not demoted to third-string quarterback at Colorado. Following the team's 29-7 loss to Texas Tech, Sanders was questioned over the apparent drop of Lewis to the third-string spot after just one week. The 19-year-old star recruit started the season as the Buffaloes' quarterback and threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns against Weber State just three weeks ago.

However, Lewis did not play in the most recent game as Isaac Wilson started. When a reporter referred to the move as a demotion, Sanders adamantly rejected this version of events, insisting that Lewis should be the one to explain what happened, rather than Sanders badgering the teenager. Sanders expressed frustration with the line of questioning, stating that it was unfair to Lewis rather than providing any clarity on the situation.

He emphasized that he wasn't going to single out a teenager in front of reporters and was more concerned with the team's well-being. Sanders' struggles with quarterback position depth have been a persistent issue for Colorado, and the revolving door at the position has coincided with the team's decline from nine wins last season to a 2-3 record this season.
