The Colorado Buffaloes football team is drawing criticism online following the release of footage from their fall camp, with many observers comparing the squad's physical appearance to that of a Pop Warner or high school team. Social media accounts and fans have questioned the team's size after the official Colorado football X account posted a video of a local Denver-area Pop Warner team running passing drills, which some initially mistook for the Buffaloes' own practice.
This scrutiny follows similar commentary during the team's spring game earlier in the year, where the Buffaloes also faced remarks regarding their lack of size. As summer workouts have concluded and fall camp is underway, the recent practice footage has reignited these discussions. The comments section under the shared video reportedly features numerous individuals questioning why a Power 4 football team appears to lack the size of a high school program.

Commentators have expressed bewilderment regarding the team's strength and conditioning program. Some suggest that the players' speed will be crucial for their performance, given the perceived lack of physical dominance. The Buffaloes are projected by some to finish near the bottom of the Big 12 conference for the upcoming season, with Julian Lewis noted as a returning key player.
The situation highlights a recurring theme of online discussion surrounding the Colorado Buffaloes under head coach Deion Sanders, with the team's physical stature frequently becoming a point of online debate.
