Deion Sanders speaks to Dan Patrick about son Shedeur’s NFL Draft status – MARCA.com
The collegiate gridiron scene has been buzzing with talks of Colorado‘s quarterback phenomenon, Shedeur Sanders, who has been lighting up the field with his impressive skills. His performances have been so stellar that there’s chatter about him being a potential first-round pick in the next NFL Draft. However, in a surprising twist, it appears that the rising star might delay his professional ambitions.
Shedeur’s coach, who also happens to be his father, NFL legend Deion Sanders, dropped hints on ‘The Dan Patrick Show’ suggesting that his son may not declare for the 2024 NFL Draft just yet. With one more year of eligibility left after this season, Coach Prime believes that Shedeur is inclined to take it. “They’re gonna come out the same year, next year. They better not try to leave Daddy this year, by the way,” Deion Sanders said, emphasizing his hope to have more time with his sons before they potentially make the leap to the professional level.
Colorado fans will keep the Sanders band for another year
This news is set to delight the University of Colorado fans, who have watched the Buffaloes‘ quarterback excel on the field. Despite the team facing challenges after a promising 3-0 start, Sanders has showcased why he’s considered among the elite quarterbacks in college football. His remarkable statistics – 2,882 yards, 24 touchdowns, and a mere three interceptions in just nine games – speak volumes of his talent and potential. Observers are left to wonder about the heights he could reach with an even stronger offensive line supporting him.
While Shedeur has been racking up impressive numbers, his brother, Shilo, has not been far behind in contributing to the team’s defense. Shilo Sanders has been a formidable force, tallying 48 tackles (40 solo), creating two forced fumbles, and securing an interception.
The Sanders siblings have become integral parts of the Colorado football narrative, with their performances keeping fans and commentators alike on the edge of their seats. As the Buffs continue their season, all eyes will be on Shedeur to see if he can further solidify his case for the NFL, even if his debut in the big league might be a season away.
The anticipation around the potential of the Sanders brothers continues to grow, as does their father’s legacy, both on the sidelines and within the college football community. For now, the focus remains on the present campaign, trying to build back this Colorado program, and where the NFL, for Shedeur and Shilo, remains still a distant horizon.
