Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders get 'record insurance coverage' to risk injury for Colorado before NFL Draft

Colorado stars Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders plan to play for Coach Prime and the No. 20 Buffaloes against No. 17 BYU at Saturday's Alamo Bowl. The problem, as anyone who has read an NFL mock draft already knows, is the Heisman winner and Deion Sanders' son are projected first-round picks.

So rather than risk injury – and potentially millions of dollars – Colorado's talented duo have obtained what is believed to be record insurance coverage ahead of their bowl game against a fellow Big 12 member. And that insurance coverage, Coach Prime and athletic director Rick George have revealed, was secured through the school. The pair did not divulge any specific dollar amount, but both said it's believed to be a record for college football.

'We happen to have two players that are probably going to be the first two picks of the NFL draft,' Sanders said Monday. 'We all know who those two are and they have received, I think, the highest number of coverage that has ever been covered in college football. It far exceeds anyone that has ever played this game of college football.'.
While college programs maintain insurance policies for their athletes in case of injury, Colorado increased disability coverage for its entire roster in the Alamo Bowl. Sanders, the coach of the No. 20 Buffaloes, ensured his QB son and two-way star Hunter received larger policies since both are expected to be among the top 10 selections in the upcoming NFL draft.
