Former Colorado stars speak out amid Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter's controversial jersey retirements

The Colorado football program's recent decision to retire Travis Hunter's No. 12 and Sheduer Sanders' No. 2 jerseys was met with some criticism. Both former Colorado players' jerseys were officially retired earlier this month during a special ceremony at the Buffaloes spring game.

Only four other players in Colorado football history have been honored via a jersey retirement. Colorado football dates back 135 years. The criteria applied to Sanders' and Hunter's respective retirements differentiate from what other former players faced.
