Deion Sanders Addresses NFL Draft Speculation Surrounding His Sons

Created: JANUARY 26, 2025

Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, recently took to social media to address rumors about his sons' NFL futures. He directly called out individuals spreading misinformation about where he wants Shedeur and Shilo Sanders to play professionally.

Sanders' statement comes amid speculation connecting Shedeur to the New York Giants, fueled by the quarterback sporting custom Giants cleats before the Alamo Bowl. This, coupled with Shedeur's cryptic pre-game comment about knowing where he's going and a subsequent sighting with Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers in New York City, further intensified the rumors. The Giants' need for a quarterback following Daniel Jones' mid-season release added to the narrative.

However, the Giants' Week 17 victory shuffled the draft order, placing them fourth overall behind the New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, and Cleveland Browns. This raises questions about which team might select Shedeur, considered a potential first overall pick. Even the Browns, with Deshaun Watson on their roster, could be in the quarterback market.

Meanwhile, Shilo Sanders' draft prospects remain uncertain. While he's a strong tackler, some analysts question his coverage abilities. His father, however, has expressed confidence in Shedeur being the top pick and has even hinted at intervening if the drafting organization lacks the right environment for his son.
