Deion Sanders has made it clear that he will not dictate where his sons, Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders, will land in the NFL. This statement comes as both players prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft, where they are expected to make significant impacts.
The Sanders Brothers: NFL Aspirations
Both Shedeur and Shilo Sanders are set to enter the NFL Draft alongside Heisman winner Travis Hunter. The buzz surrounding them is palpable, with Shedeur and Hunter projected to be top-five picks, while Shilo is likely to be selected in the later rounds. This trio has captured the attention of fans and scouts alike, making their upcoming transition to the professional level a hot topic in college football.
Speculation Surrounding Shedeur’s Future
Recently, Shedeur Sanders has been seen sporting New York Giants’ cleats, which has sparked various theories about where he and his brother might end up playing. Speculation is rampant, especially with the Giants potentially moving down the draft board after a surprising win against the Indianapolis Colts. Could Shedeur be the future quarterback for New York? Five-star freshman Julian Lewis certainly thinks so.
Deion’s Response to Rumors
In response to the swirling rumors, Deion Sanders took to Twitter to address the misinformation. He stated, “It will be multiple IDIOTS that will say things that totally aren’t true regarding where I would like (Shedeur and Shilo) to play in the NFL. If I say it I will say it directly to whom it may concern not a attention seeker. I do know (NFL commissioner Roger Goodell) personally!” This tweet underscores his commitment to transparency and his desire to keep the focus on the players’ talents rather than speculative narratives.
