Deion Sanders brings in Denzel Washington to address Colorado football

The Colorado Buffaloes received words of wisdom from an impressive speaker on Wednesday: legendary actor and director Denzel Washington.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders boasting an impressive rolodex of A-list talent is nothing new. But Washington offered the Buffaloes squad plenty of insight as spring practices get underway.

“When you pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too,” he says to start off the video clip. “But eventually, good things grow out of that mud.”

Washington ended the speaking session with a bold request — for the team to invite him to the national championship game when they reach it.

“I’m gonna say this now, if y’all don’t send me a ticket to the national championship when you get there, then don’t ever go to none of my movies ever again,” he said. “I don’t want to know you. Because I know you [are] going to be there.

Now you remember that Denzel Washington said it: ‘you are going to the national championship.'”

The actor clarified further that even if the players never necessarily ended up in the College Football Playoff national championship, they’d be “going to the national championship in life anyway.”

The meeting room speech wasn’t too out of character for Washington — he famously played the role of a high school football coach in the 2000 film “Remember the Titans.”

Colorado finished 9-4 last season, including a 7-2 mark in Big 12 regular season play.
