Deion Sanders has a clear message for Antonio Pierce, hours after Shedeur posted a video of Raiders stadium on Instagram

Shedeur Sanders will be a trending name for the next couple of months. The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback is a consensus top quarterback in the upcoming NFL draft. With his college football career about to finish, it's time for loads of speculation about his potential landing spot.

The quarterback posted a video of the Las Vegas Raiders stadium on his Instagram account, which set the rumor mill off. Following the post, Pro Football Talk reported that coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur's dad and head coach, spoke to Raiders coach Antonio Pierce.

"You are truly the best. . . . I need you to draft those Sanders boys," Deion said via PFT.

With the Las Vegas Raiders' record one of the worst in the NFL, Coach Prime's request is likely to be granted.

Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders heading to the NFL in 2025

Shedeur Sanders was sensational in 2024 as he nearly led the Colorado Buffaloes to the Big 12 Championship Game. The quarterback registered 3,926 passing yards, 35 TDs and eight interceptions in 12 games.

College Football Network has him going off the 2025 NFL draft board as the first overall pick. They spoke glowingly about his arm talent, athleticism and potential to be an elite QB1 at any level.

As for Shilo Sanders, he's more of a wildcard pick due to his injury history and lack of elite size at the safety position. However, he's shown decent strength and speed to be a factor in special teams and potentially on defense. He is likely a day two or three pick.

How are the Raiders performing in 2024?

The Las Vegas Raiders (2-10) are having a forgettable season in 2024 which includes injuries to key players, their best wide receiver demanding (and getting) a trade, and numerous questions being asked about the future of Antonio Pierce.

Many are questioning the present and future of the franchise, and one way to sort out the future is to ace the upcoming draft.

The Raiders and Sanders camp are mutually interested ahead of the 2025 draft. However, it remains to be seen where the Raiders will finish in the final standings, as the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns also need a marquee rookie quarterback in the upcoming draft.
