Colorado football coach Deion Sanders is ending the year as possibly the most followed and famous college coach in America in 2023, as judged by all the attention he got from his games, commercials, social media accounts, magazine covers and documentary series on Amazon Prime Video.

Caleb Williams agrees. The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from Southern California made his feelings about this known in November when he said he just wanted to “go home and cuddle with my dog” after getting beaten on the field.

Amid the grind of an up-and-down season, it’s because of all the support and joy these dogs gave behind the scenes to the biggest names in the game.
