Deion Sanders’ son, Shedeur Sanders, had not started his NFL journey the way the father-son duo had envisioned it. While the ex-Colorado star was expected to go in the top 10 picks at the 2025 NFL Draft, he ended up sliding to the fifth round.
Shedeur ended up getting picked by the Cleveland Browns as the 144th overall pick, and they even drafted Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel as the 94th overall pick before him.
Despite the rocky start to the NFL journey, Shedeur is determined to turn things around for himself, and his dad, Deion Sanders, also expressed his belief in his son during his latest appearance during a conversation with Asante Samuel.
“He gonna get that ball down the field, I know him.” Deion said.
“lmao yall petty im crying.” One fan commented
“Not here he be lucky to plant his feet.. wait till unsee them block lol.. yall must dont watch the games. The line gets destroyed every year.” another fan added.
“I got a feeling they’re going to call run plays 70% of the time Shedeur plays in preseason so they can’t show he’s clearly their best Qb lmao. Laughingstock of the NFL.” another fan took a jab at the Browns.
“He is gonna get the ball downfield The downfield in questionman. I like u coach but ur son a*s.” another fan expressed frustration with sarcasm.
“Me too I bought my ticket I will be at the home game, I gotta see
@ShedeurSanders

“3/14 actually a 21% completion percentage.” another fan wrote.

Deion Sanders Opens Up About Coaching at Colorado Without His Kids
After spending the last two seasons coaching his sons at Colorado, it’s time for Coach Prime to get used to them not being in Boulder as they pursue their NFL careers in different cities.
While many people assumed Deion Sanders will leave the Buffaloes for the NFL or another coaching job once his kids are gone, he proved everybody wrong and signed a contract extension with the program.
During the Asante Samuel conversation, Deion Sanders shared that he’s excited to just be a coach on the field now while also opening up about a heartfelt conversation he had with one of his sons:
“One of my kids, I’m not going to say who it was, came to me the other day and he said, ‘You know that walk you did with Shedeur—Shilo? You know we’re still gonna walk, right?’” Sanders recalled. “I said, ‘Boy, you trying to make me cry, man. I said go, you ain’t fitin’ to make me cry.’”

When asked what the biggest challenge will be not having his sons on the team, Prime kept it 100 and broke it down on the pod. #SkoBuffs #CollegeFootball #CoachPrime #NFL pic.twitter.com/RzHTGrZEOO
