Did you actually count on Deion Sanders to not have a say?
And at the least he’s admitting it publicly.
The NFL Corridor of Famer turned Colorado Buffaloes head coach confirmed in an interview with the Dan Patrick Present on Friday that he already instructed a number of NFL groups to not draft his son Shedeur Sanders, who’s in rivalry to be one of many prime picks within the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.
“I would meet with them behind closed doors,” Sanders stated 9 minutes in to Dan Patrick. “I would not call them out. I would not put them on front street and talk about their organization because people work too hard to make it right instead of a guy like me ignorantly saying something wrong. I would meet with them privately and talk about my concerns so we can have an understanding.”
Regardless of the rising buzz across the youthful Sanders’ potential as a dynamic quarterback prospect, Coach Prime clearly needs to ensure he’s headed to the precise group, which is clearly paramount with reference to growth.
In April’s draft, the quarterback-needy Tennessee Titans maintain the No. 1 general decide, and The Athletic beforehand reported that the group met with Shedeur for “a longer time than usual” on the East-West Shrine Bowl.
Coach Sanders was additionally concerned, in line with the report.
The Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars spherical out the draft’s prime 5, although it seems unlikely that the latter two groups go quarterback looking out, whether or not it will be Sanders or Miami’s Cam Ward.
Sanders completed his 2024 season with 4,134 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
