Jalen Ramsey Admits How Deion Sanders May Changed His Career Path

Colorado BuffaloesFlorida State SeminolesThe Colorado Buffaloes have assembled a promising coaching staff for the 2026 season. Coach Deion Sanders welcomed new offensive coordinator Brennan Marion and new defensive coordinator Chris Marve to his ranks, among others.
This new staff caught the attention of NFL cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who spoke to Buffs players at Coach Prime’s leadership retreat. Amid his speech to the players, he spoke on how lucky they are to have a coaching staff like this, even saying that if it had been around when he was headed to college, he wouldn’t have ended up at Florida State.
What Jalen Ramsey said about the Colorado Buffaloes’ coaching staff
Several of Colorado’s players kicked off their discussion with Ramsey by describing their relationships with Coach Prime and the rest of the coaching staff. The common theme was one of connection. Players felt like they had much closer relationships with Sanders and his staff than they’d had at any of their previous schools, high school or otherwise.
Upon hearing their stories, Ramsey explained to the players how lucky they are to have an experience like that at the college level. He even went as far as to state it was something he wished he had, despite the fact that he was a part of a National Championship team with the Seminoles in 2013.
“It wasn’t like this for me at Florida State,” said Ramsey in a video by Well Off Media. “...If [Colorado] had this opportunity for me, it wouldn’t have been no Florida State.”
What makes the Colorado Buffaloes’ coaching staff different
Colorado’s coaching staff combines the right amount of NFL experience and fierce personalities to create a one-of-a-kind leadership group. In addition to being led by one of, if not the greatest cornerbacks of all time in Sanders, the Buffs have former NFL players like Vonn Bell, Kevin Mathis and Andre Gurode on the roster to help prepare their players for the next level.
But in their playcalling roles, Colorado has proven strategists who’ve experienced success in their previous programs. Marion’s patented ‘Go-Go’ offense was a hit when he was the head coach of the Sacramento State Hornets. On defense, Marve’s system helped the Virginia Tech Hokies allow the second-fewest yards per game in the ACC and the fourth-fewest passing yards per game in the FBS in 2023.
So far, the energy shift of the team has been substantial since Sanders made his new additions, and it has raised the hopes of fans ahead of the coming campaign.
Deion Sanders’s additions to his 2026 coaching staff
Marion and Marve’s additions were the biggest headlines of the offseason, as they have flipped the strategy of both sides of the ball on its head.
Marion’s system is completely different from that of former offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur. Shurmur ran a spread offense, which rarely utilized the run and forced the quarterback to carry the offense on his shoulders. Marion’s system utilizes every player to the fullest, heavily involving the run game while creating a large number of reads for the quarterback in the passing game.
As for Marve, his 3-4 scheme will the Buffs’ secondary to shine, something that will benefit the makeup of Colorado’s roster. The Buffaloes hit the transfer portal hard to build their secondary, and it may emerge as one of the best units in the conference.
Sanders’s other additions, like tight ends coach Josh Niblett and Bell as the safeties coach have received praise from players and fellow staff members alike. Now, the new-look staff has caught the attention of an NFL great in Ramsey.

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'

But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
Venezuela Fury and Noah Price subsidising their life by livestreaming
Venezuela Fury and her husband Noah Price look to be making their own way in the world by raking it in from their lucrative social media accounts.
The influencer daughter of Tyson and Paris Fury, 16, has become an internet sensation after tying the knot with her husband Noah, 19, earlier this year.
Since getting married and moving in together the couple have been earning thousands of pounds a month, livestreaming their life as newlyweds in their static caravan in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
And fans can't get enough of their regular life updates on TikTok and Kick, which have proved to be very profitable for the pair.
They look to be supporting themselves after Noah denied that he was given £5million by Venezuela's family as a wedding gift.
Despite his wife's huge family wealth, an estimated combined £160 million, Noah recently told his Kick followers that he 'pays for everything' for the couple.
Making light of the claims about Venezuela's millionaire financial status, Noah said: 'I actually pay for everything unfortunately. You'd expect the millionaire to pay for it wouldn't you.'

Venezuela then asked their fans: 'Do you think I am a millionaire?'
Noah joked: 'She isn't a secret millionaire guys', before she broke into song and sang: 'But I live like a millionaire!'
But it seems according to estimated calculations from their social media work, Noah and Venezuela can more than afford to support themselves.
Noah has been livestreaming on platforms such as Kick and TikTok, where viewers can send paid gifts or donations.
He was previously encouraging viewers to send gifts on his honeymoon during livestreams, suggesting this is one revenue stream.
Both Noah and Venezuela have built substantial followings on Instagram and TikTok. They can potentially earn money through sponsored posts, brand collaborations, affiliate links and creator payouts.
Kick allows its creators to take home 95 per cent of the £4.99 subscription cost that fans pay.
Streamers keep 100 per cent of direct tips and donations, minus minor standard payment processing fees.
It is unclear how many subscribers Noah currently has because this information is hidden, but he does have 7,200 followers which is publicly viewable.
An industry insider has suggested Noah is making around £400 per video on TikTok, while Venezuela is likely to make £2,000 due to her following count of 1.3 million.

In one video on their honeymoon, Noah asked his followers if they'd give them some more gifts now that they were married.
In a TikTok live viewed by 20,000 he said: 'Keep liking our videos people, keep sending gifts.'
After saying thank you to several of his followers he joked they should stick around on the livestream and 'watch Venezuela punch me in the mouth'.
The other half of the honeymooning couple said: 'I am, honestly!'
Noah previously confirmed that the pair don't share their finances after they were asked whether they have a shared bank account.
'She earns her money, I earn mine,' said Noah, as Venezuela joked: 'Yeah, what you gonna do about it.'
Noah went on to debunk the rumour that Tyson gave him £5million when he tied the knot with his daughter as he insisted: 'No Tyson did not give me £5million'.
Meanwhile Venezuela is being eyed up by executives for a fly on the wall TV series.

Boasting 1.3 million TikTok followers, Venezuela is already entertaining fans with her honest musings and candid moments, from cooking to kitting out her and Noah's static caravan home.
And following the success of the Netflix series At Home With The Furys, it is no wonder bosses are wanting to draw on the Fury popularity.
A TV insider said: 'The couple are not A-list celebrities but everyone has become obsessed with their love story.
'People are genuinely intrigued by them. Whether it’s the fact they have married so young, Venezuela’s famous family or their gypsy lifestyle, they have the ‘X factor'.
'Several TV executives think a proper fly-on-the-wall series following their lives as newlyweds in the gypsy community would be fascinating,' they told The Sun.
It is thought Netflix would be likely to produce the series due to their already established relationship with the Furys.
Venezuela's representatives told The Daily Mail: 'We have many offers on the table regarding Venezuela which we are discussing.'
