Deion Sanders advises Shedeur Sanders amid criticism ahead of the draft

Following a noteworthy career at Colorado, Shedeur Sanders heads to the NFL draft as one of the top prospects. The quarterback is anticipated to be selected in the first three picks and has some chances of going as No. 1 if some trade occurs at the top.

Being in such a situation will naturally bring some noise around him and being Deion Sanders’ son has made the noise even louder. However, Coach Prime has a piece of advice for his son in navigating the moment.

“I told him, ‘Don’t believe nothing they say,’” Sanders said. “People are going to criticize you so you can fall to them. So, don’t believe none of that. It’s just positioning right now. He’s speaking to the guys who make the moves, so he’s not listening to the media.

“He’s speaking to head coaches, GMs, and all that other first. First three teams, pretty much, because that’s where we think he’s going to end, somewhere in there. My advice to him is just embrace the moment. But he’s so poised and polished. He gets it, man. Shedeur, he’s been riding with me for a long time, so he really gets it.”

The New York Giants, are currently viewed as the favorites to draft Shedeur in April. However, the Las Vegas Raiders are also believed to be in the frame. According to reports, these are the two franchises Deion Sanders wants his son to sign for.
