Deion Sanders hypes up son ahead of NFL draft, hints that he could stay put in Colorado
During an interview with Fox's Jameis Winston on the NFL Honors red carpet, Deion Sanders reminisced about the journey that he had undertaken with his NFL-bound son, Shedeur Sanders since the QB started playing football and spoke about what his family hopes to achieve on draft night.
"You know what, we're thankful man," Sanders said. "We didn't aim to be the first pick, we just aimed to be the first round. High in the first round and we're gonna achieve that and his goal and his dream is to be drafted higher than I was. And I feel as though we're gonna achieve that as well."
Amidst speculation that Coach Prime could move to the NFL post his sons' departure from college football, the charismatic Buffs coach spoke about how he could never coach the pros in a segment of his We Got Time Now show earlier this week.
“I couldn’t coach pro ball,” Sanders said. “The way they practice, the way they go about it, I couldn’t take it, as a man, and as a football enthusiast, and I care about the game. ... there is no way I could allow that to happen on my watch. That would be tough.”
The Buffs coach's revelation about his future in the NFL confirms that he is likely to stay in Boulder after Shilo and Shedeur Sanders departed for the league on the back of a successful 2024 college football season for Colorado.
