Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders and his son Shedeur attended the NFL Honors in New Orleans, La. The father-son duo dazzled on the red carpet with their sharp all-black suits ahead of the quarterback’s upcoming NFL Draft in April.
Rap icon Snoop Dogg was brought in as this year’s host for the award show. During the event, he took a hilarious dig at Coach Prime that left the audience in splits.
Snoop Dogg Hilariously Calls Out Deion Sanders for Reading His Own Book During the Event
During a segment of the NFL Honors, Snoop Dogg was seen on the stage reading a book and talking about how everyone attending the event was focused on literature. He initially pointed toward New York Giants WR Malik Nabers and Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen for reading books that inspired them.
Snoop Dogg then called out Deion Sanders, who was in the crowd reading his own book called “Elevate and Dominate: 21 Ways to Win On and Off the Field.” Coach Prime launched his book in March last year before coaching the Buffs to a 9-4 campaign during the 2024 season.
“Welcome back to the show. I was just taking a minute to reconnect with my inner excellence, like my boy AJ Brown,” Snoop Dogg said. “See we’re all about literature here at the NFL Honors. Lot of players in the crowd tonight reading books that inspired them. Malik Nabers is reading Keyshawn Johnson’s book….
“Josh Allen is reading Jim Kelly’s autobiography….And Coach Prime is, of course, reading his own book.”
Following the 2024 season, Deion Sanders is in the process of rebuilding his team as several of his key players have declared for the draft. Apart from his sons Shedeur and Shilo, Heisman winner Travis Hunter has also finished his collegiate career and is considered to be a top NFL prospect alongside Shedeur.

“Just take one step at a time,” Sanders said. “And maximize your moments. Life consists of a multitude of moments, and those of us that are on the stage right now, we maximized them. That’s why we are here.”

Shedeur Sanders is projected to be a top-three pick in April. His biggest competitor in this year’s draft class is Miami’s Cam Ward. He already made an impression on several teams during the East-West Shrine Bowl week, especially on Titans HC Brian Callahan.
With the Titans securing the first overall pick, it will be interesting to see if they decide to invest in Shedeur and develop him into a future franchise QB.
