Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes have finished their season. They had a successful year but with a disappointing finish. Although they had their first winning season in years, they missed out on an opportunity to play in the Big 12 Championship and college football playoff after a late-season 37-21 loss to Kansas.

To make matters worse, the team lost the Alamo Bowl 36-14 to BYU, ending an otherwise successful season with a loss. However, it was still an important season for Coach Prime. It was the last time he was able to coach his sons, quarterback Shedeur Sanders and safety Shilo Sanders, as both players are set to enter the 2025 NFL draft.

Since the season is ending, Deion Sanders Jr. posted several photos from the season on behalf of the Colorado Buffaloes. Coach Prime went through the photos and posted some of him and Shilo Sanders on Instagram. He playfully asked for an explanation of why every photo of him and Shilo looked so aggressive. He wrote:

"Why are all thepics talking Shilo Sanders so aggressive?"

Coach Prime and the Sanders family must prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft

It is a serious time of year for his family. With both Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders set to enter the 2025 NFL draft, the Sanders family will be busy.

Shedeur Sanders does not have much to worry about other than where he is going to end up. He is viewed by most draft experts as one of the two best quarterbacks in the draft, alongside Miami's Cam Ward. He has a chance to be the first overall pick and it would be truly shocking if he falls outside the top five.

However, Shilo Sanders does not have as easy a path to the NFL. While his brother Shedeur is viewed as a top talent in the draft, Shilo is not guaranteed to be drafted.

According to Pro Football Focus, Shilo Sanders is the 211th-ranked player in the draft. That positions him to get drafted in the middle of the seventh round of the draft. There are only seven rounds in the draft, with 224 picks in total.

The rankings become far more muddled when it gets into the later rounds of the draft, so being positioned within the top 224 does not necessarily mean he will be drafted.
