In a viral postgame video initially shared by head coach Deion Sanders' son, Deion Jr., several Buffalo players searched the locker room for their missing jewelry. In the video, it is alleged that their valuables had been stolen while they were playing on the field against the Bruins.

Star safety Cam'ron Silmon-Craig, one of those affected, expressed his frustration, saying, "You're gonna play football and know your s*** safe. That joint messed up."

Another Colorado player revealed that he had only just received his jewelry the day before and that the thief had taken it directly from the jewelry box.
