It certainly helps when your father is a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the greatest professional athletes of all time.
Deion Sanders has been with his son throughout his entire life, and the fact that he was one of the best football players alive during his storied career is somewhat relatable for his son. Shedeur Sanders has a chance to be a great NFL quarterback, but that means he will need help navigating the terrain of trying to be the greatest.
No one is more suited than his father.
Sanders Has the Tools to Lead an NFL Team for Years to Come
At his best, Shedeur Sanders can be a franchise quarterback for 10-15 years in the right situation.
He proved it while playing for his father at both Jackson State and Colorado. During his collegiate career, he was both the Southwestern Athletic Conference and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. He threw for more than 3,200 yards four times, and that includes the 4,000-yard season he had this past season in his final year at Boulder.
The Texas native also threw more than 30 touchdowns three times in four years. While he might lack arm strength, he makes up for it with his accuracy and football IQ.
That is why teams like the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants have their eyes set on him at the top of the draft. The Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints also have their eyes set on him at the back end of the top 10.
