Deion Sanders and his son Shedeur Sanders have been making waves in the world of college football, capturing the attention of fans and analysts alike. Coach Prime guided the Colorado Buffaloes through a tumultuous season, finishing with a record of 4-8 in 2024. Despite the challenges, Shedeur shone brightly as the team’s quarterback, amassing impressive statistics: he threw for 4,134 yards, recorded 37 touchdowns, and only 10 interceptions, boasting a QBR of 75.5. His performance has sparked conversations about his future in the NFL.
Father-son duo steals the spotlight
The Sanders duo turned heads at the NFL Honors red carpet, where they showcased their undeniable style. Dressed in matching all-black suits, they brought their signature swagger to the event, leaving fans and attendees buzzing about their appearance.
Fans took to social media to express their admiration, with comments ranging from playful teasing to genuine compliments. One fan remarked, “Shedeur looking sharp,” while another added, “Boy, they look so good.” Some even drew comparisons between Shedeur and his father, with one fan quipping, “Looking like his daddy. Haha, gotta become your own man now, son lol.” The playful banter continued, with another fan humorously asking, “Is this another Kanye West situation? Who invited this kid?”
Shedeur’s confidence ahead of the NFL draft
As the NFL draft approaches, Shedeur Sanders is brimming with confidence. He made it clear that falling to No. 9 in the 2025 NFL draft is not something he’s considering. At the NFL Honors event, Saints DE Cameron Jordan jokingly suggested that Shedeur could slip in the draft, but both Deion and Shedeur quickly dismissed the notion.
“I don’t know about that,” Deion said, while Shedeur doubled down, responding, “Yeah, I don’t think so.” He elaborated on his excitement for the NFL, emphasizing his commitment to making a mark in the league. “Just to challenge the excitement we established at Jackson State. We did that at Colorado, so now you know it’s time to do it in the league,” he stated.
Focus on fit over draft position
Interestingly, while Shedeur is undoubtedly talented, he isn’t fixated on being the No. 1 pick. Earlier in the season, he discussed the draft process and his bond with fellow quarterback prospect Cam Ward, highlighting the importance of fit over draft position. “I could go No. 1, but it may not be a fit. Right, or I could go No. 2 and it be a fit. I could go No. 3 and it be a fit, you know. So it’s all about fit,” he explained.
This perspective reflects a mature understanding of the game and the business side of football. Shedeur recognizes that finding the right team is crucial for his development and success in the NFL. “We’re all cool… we’ll be able to sit there and talk,” he added, showcasing his camaraderie with other prospects.
