Deion Sanders, the current head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes and an NFL legend, remains one of the most entertaining personalities in sports. The superstar turned heads with a hilariously blunt response to recent NFL Draft questions.
Deion Sanders Delivers Blunt and Brilliant NFL Draft Insights
Sanders, also known as “Prime Time” and, more recently, “Coach Prime,” is regarded for his clever and candid remarks. Reporters approached him recently and asked how he evaluates players for the NFL Draft. His answer was funny but insightful.
“You know a dog when you see one,” he said, smiling. “If they’re out there barking, you don’t need no explanation.” This metaphor-laden statement made the media laugh but also underlined a key point: talent and drive are frequently undeniable.
He explains further that raw athleticism is only a part of the equation. He said, “It is not just about running fast and hitting hard.” You should have heart, discipline, commitment, and a killer spirit to go with it. The message was loud: Real NFL players possess a blend of evasive traits and tactile skills. Sanders claims to spot this combination automatically.
Sanders also expressed his feelings about training his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders. He said he would consider an NFL coaching position only if he could coach both of them. The feasibility of this is still unclear, though, particularly in the context of Shilo’s draft stock.
Additionally, Coach Prime sent a strong message to NFL teams about 2024 Heisman winner WR/CB Travis Hunter, an outstanding two-way player who he mentored at Colorado. He stressed that teams must pick Hunter if they want to use him on both offense and defense, citing Hunter’s skilled versatility and importance in crucial positions.

Sanders’ statement has gone viral, unsurprisingly. One fan called him “100% real every time, that is why he is GOAT.” Another user wrote, “Who else but Prime could break down NFL scouting like this and still make you laugh?”
This humorous yet incisive perspective on NFL Draft questions shows why he’s such a prominent persona in sports. His attitude could seem blunt, but it relies on an entire life of experience at the forefront of football.
As the NFL Draft season nears, Sanders’ remarks act as a timely reminder that greatness is more than just statistics; it’s a combination of undeniable skill, hard work, and a constant drive to be the best. Prime Time himself is the greatest example.
