Did you actually expect Deion Sanders to not have a say?
And no less than he’s admitting it publicly.
The NFL Hall of Famer turned Colorado Buffaloes head coach confirmed in an interview with the Dan Patrick Show on Friday that he already told multiple NFL teams to not draft his son Shedeur Sanders, who’s in contention to be certainly one of the highest picks within the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.
“I might meet with them behind closed doors,” Sanders said nine minutes in to Dan Patrick. “I might not call them out. I might not put them on front street and speak about their organization because people work too hard to make it right as an alternative of a man like me ignorantly saying something unsuitable. I might meet with them privately and speak about my concerns so we will have an understanding.”
Despite the growing buzz across the younger Sanders’ potential as a dynamic quarterback prospect, Coach Prime clearly desires to make certain he’s headed to the best organization, which is clearly paramount with reference to development.
In April’s draft, the quarterback-needy Tennessee Titans hold the No. 1 overall pick, and The Athletic previously reported that the team met with Shedeur for “an extended time than usual” on the East-West Shrine Bowl.
Coach Sanders was also involved, in response to the report.
The Cleveland Browns, Latest York Giants, Latest England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars round out the draft’s top five, though it appears unlikely that the latter two teams go quarterback searching, whether it might be Sanders or Miami’s Cam Ward.
Sanders finished his 2024 season with 4,134 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
