On Friday, Perry appeared on NBC Sports' "Rushing the Field" and discussed how Coach Prime might influence where his son plays in the pro league. He also liked the situation to Texas quarterback Arch Manning and how things will be viewed when he declares for the draft in the future, as the QB comes from football royalty.

"It's like, it's funny too, cause when Arch Manning comes up and it's his time to be drafted, I think the conversation is going to be so different," Perry said.

Manning's uncles Eli and Peyton are multiple-time Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks. His grandfather, Archie, also played as a signal-caller in the NFL for 14 seasons.

Meanwhile, Sanders' father, Deion, played 14 years in the big league as a cornerback and return specialist, winning two Super Bowls.

Sanders was initially viewed as a top-five pick at this year's draft, but some have now suggested he might not even get selected in the first round.

To make up for some of the gloss, Sanders will likely participate in Colorado's Pro Day, which will be held between March 18-21.
