“My dawg Myles!”
His response added to the excitement surrounding the post, which highlighted Crosby’s passion for the Lakers and an enjoyable night out. Crosby, who has been open about his struggles, recently reflected on his sobriety journey during The Colin Cowherd Show.
“I’ll never forget it… That was my life’s biggest and most important day,” Crosby said. He emphasized that overcoming addiction allowed him to reach his current position, stating, “I wouldn’t be here… if I didn’t make that decision for myself and my family.”
Now five years sober, Crosby excels both on and off the field. Earlier this month, Sanders congratulated Crosby on his three-year, $106.5 million contract extension, which made him the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback.
Deion Sanders Discusses NFL Draft Journey for Sons Shedeur and Shilo
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Sanders reflected on the evolution of the NFL Draft process, contrasting his experience as a college athlete with that of his sons, quarterback Shedeur Sanders and safety Shilo Sanders. Speaking to the media on Monday,
“Coach Prime” expressed gratitude for their journey. “We’ve already won… Shedeur’s getting drafted; he’s going in the first round. Shilo’s gonna do his thing. All he needs is the opportunity. We’ve won, man,” Sanders said. Confident in their success, he added, “We’re not stressed… Do I look stressed? No, I look blessed, okay?”
As the Colorado quarterback prepares for the draft, discussions about his confidence emerged after an assistant coach reportedly called him “arrogant” at the NFL Combine. However, he dismissed the criticism, stating,
“You think I’m worried about what critics say? Do you know who my dad is? They hated on him, too.”
