The Colorado Pro Day is taking place today in Boulder for the likes of Shedeur Sanders, Shilo Sanders, and Travis Hunter. Head coach Deion Sanders kept it real when discussing the pressure the media has created for his kids and players.
Deion Sanders Addresses Media
Sanders recently spoke about the media pressure that has surrounded the pro day.
“That’s not fair. When we start compensating collegiate players, they’re in it. They’re attacked.”
To be fair, Sanders and his team gave the media a reason to create some of that pressure because of what he has brought to the school.
Before he and some of his transfer players showed up in Boulder a few seasons ago, the football program was somewhat irrelevant.
But after a 9-4 turnaround season that saw Shedeur Sanders play like an NFL-ready quarterback, Travis Hunter earn Heisman honors, and Shilo Sanders play great defense, these players have earned the right to have all eyes on them at this pro day.
Which NFL Teams Could Have Their Eyes on These Prospects?
When it comes to Shedeur Sanders, there are a lot of teams that could use his services due to their need under center. The Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders, and New Orleans Saints could all be watching him very closely.
Elite two-way player Travis Hunter could go anywhere because of his elite coverage and receiver skills. Teams such as the New England Patriots, the Carolina Panthers, and other teams that need more true athletes will have him high on their boards.
He has the chance to be a true game-changer in the NFL.

For Shilo Sanders, there will be many teams looking to add help to their cornerback rooms. The Las Vegas Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are teams in divisions with explosive offenses.
They will need more help on the boundary, and Sanders can bring everything that is required of a great defensive back.
This is why there are so many eyes on this pro day, and Deion Sanders likely knows that his kids are ready for their big moment.
