You know it’s that time again—college football season’s winding down, and we’re sliding straight into draft season. This year? It’s about to get wild. The Colorado Buffaloes flipped the script, going from doubters to believers with a 9-4 record. Deion Sanders worked his magic, turned Travis Hunter into a Heisman-level baller, and has Shedeur Sanders sitting pretty as a possible top draft pick. But guess what? Deion Sanders Jr. just threw us a curveball. And no, we’re not talking about Shedeur or Travis. Let me put you on real quick—he’s hyping up two players who might just be the biggest draft steals of the year.

On January 18th, Deion Sanders Jr. hit up his X (formerly known as Twitter) and dropped this heat: “Jimmy Horn Jr. & LaJohntay Wester will be Top Tier Steals in the Draft this year.” Look, anybody with half-brain and quarter common sense would know the man’s tyna hype his homeboys. And you know what? He might not be wrong. Let’s start with Jimmy Horn Jr., the Colorado WR who had flashes of brilliance this season. His opener against North Dakota State? Seven catches, 198 yards, and a touchdown.

Jimmy Horn Jr, was literally unstoppable like prime Derrick Rose for 1 game and dipped like Derrick Rose, too. The injuries knocked him out in Week 11, leaving some doubting his draft stock. Horn’s biggest hurdle? Consistency. Nine dropped passes last season aren’t exactly inspiring confidence, and his frame makes him susceptible to physical press coverage. But don’t sleep on him—his ability to adjust mid-route and snag tough catches could make him a sneaky asset for teams who are in the market for slot receivers.

LaJohntay Wester? A different beast. The former Florida Atlantic Owl lit it up in his breakout season before transferring to Colorado. He followed up with 931 yards and 10 touchdowns this year. His quick-twitch moves and elite route-running make him a nightmare for defenders. Deion Jr. ain’t just throwing darts; these ballers have legit NFL potential, with that being said, not everybody cut for the league.

Wester’s style is perfect for offenses that thrive on motion and mismatches. He’s a reliable chain-mover and a nightmare for zone defenses. His knack for finding soft spots in coverage and breaking tackles after the catch makes him a valuable chess piece. But hey, even magic has limits. Wester struggles against physical DBs and needs to clean up his drops. Still, for a late-round pick? He’s gold.

Why Deion Sanders Jr. might be onto something and their draft conclusion

So, where do these guys land? Jimmy Horn Jr. already snagged a Shrine Bowl invite, and he’s heading to the NFL Combine. Scouts love his burst and ability to adjust mid-route. CBS Sports has him as the 142nd prospect, but don’t act like his fan from day 1s if his stock rises faster than a Travis Scott drop and potentially goes in 4th or 5th round.

Wester’s got Day 2 potential, but he might slip to Rounds 5 or 6. His deep-threat ability and knack for finding soft spots in coverage make him a weapon, but teams will worry about his size. Still, someone’s gonna take that chance, and they won’t regret it.

Look, Deion Jr.’s take might sound biased—he’s repping his squad hard—but these guys could really shine. Jimmy Horn Jr. could thrive in an offense like Sean Payton’s with the Broncos, where quick routes and speed are everything. Wester? He’s got special teams value written all over him, plus slot magic for days.

End of the day, the draft’s all about taking chances. And when you’ve got two players as dynamic as Horn and Wester, sleeping on them could be a huge L. Let’s see if Deion Jr. just dropped the most underrated take of the season—or if he’s just gassing up his guys. Either way, we’re all watching.
