If you thought Shedeur Sanders had the No. 1 draft pick locked tighter than a vault, think again. The hype around the Colorado star was hitting all the right notes—teasing a Big Apple move with Giants-themed cleats, flirting with the Raiders’ brass, and riding high on every mock draft out there. But now? Let’s just say a $1.8 million curveball (nope, not Cam Ward) has entered the chat. And the NFL rumor mill is working overtime. Is Shedeur’s rise to the top about to hit a major roadblock?

The ‘potential’ No.1 draft pick, Shedeur Sanders, threw over 4k yards and 37 tuddies. Giants fans were already daydreaming about replacing Daniel Jones with Shedeur Sanders, and the Raiders were literally ready to roll out the red carpet. But with the Titans swooping into the No. 1 draft slot, the game just flipped. And to make things wilder, Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart is now ranked ahead of Sanders and Cam Ward on some NFL scouts’ boards.

Crazy right? Nope. Jaxson Dart is a S-class certified baller. Yeah, that guy’s stock is skyrocketing faster than a Taylor Swift ticket sale. Dart’s senior season stats—4,300 passing yards, 500 rushing yards, and 32 total TDs—have scouts drooling over his Jayden Daniels-style breakout potential.

NFL insider Miller summed it up, tweeting, “The more I watch film on this quarterback class, the more I find myself liking Jaxson Dart. Scheme questions are gonna be there, but he has NFL tools.” Translation? Dart is coming for the crown, and his Senior Bowl performance on February 1 could seal the deal. And don’t forget the other QB talent hitting the Senior Bowl—Jalen Milroe, Dillon Gabriel, and Riley Leonard. But none of them are generating the same buzz as Dart. One breakout game and this Ole Miss star could flip the draft board on its head.

The Senior Bowl would literally do wonders for Jaxson Dart, and it is his stage to silence the doubters and leapfrog the competition. Scouts are already calling him one of the draft’s best-kept secrets, drawing parallels to Jayden Daniels’ meteoric rise. If Dart delivers, teams like Tennessee might decide he’s their guy, leaving Shedeur scrambling for Plan B.

Maybe after all, Plan B ain’t that bad for Shedeur Sanders now. The word is; Las Vegas Raiders are currently in the market for a coach. You very well know who’s finna take this spot.

Deion Sanders eyes Raiders coaching job: a Vegas power play

Aight, let’s get straight to it—Deion Sanders might be Vegas-bound. Word on the street is Coach Prime has “strong interest” in the Raiders’ open head coach role, and he’s not being shy about it. According to reports, NFL insiders connected to Deion have already reached out to the Raiders.

We all know this ain’t the first time the Sanders family flirts with Raiders. Shedeur Sanders is low-key seen vibing with Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis and head coach Anthony Pierce. Now the Raiders have fired their HC Anthony Pierce, and literally just 2 days later, they fired GM Tom Telesco just after 1 year. Looks like the Las Vegas Raiders are looking for the 8th franchise rebuild of the decade. Who better man than Deion Sanders for the Vegas job?

This ain’t the first time the Hall of Famer’s name has popped up in NFL coaching circles. In 2022, he famously told 60 Minutes he wouldn’t touch the league with a ten-foot pole. Fast-forward to today, and Deion’s singing a different tune. A few weeks back, on Good Morning America interview, he hinted, “The only way I would consider [the NFL] is to coach my sons.” With Shedeur likely one of the top quarterbacks in the draft, you can see where this is going.

For the Raiders, this is a golden opportunity. After that brutal 4-13 season and firing Anthony Pierce, Las Vegas needs a splashy hire to get themselves outta the poverty franchise tagline. Deion, with his larger-than-life persona and proven track record—27-6 at Jackson State, 40-18 with the Buffaloes—is tailor-made for the job. The Raiders thrive on drama and star power, and there’s nobody better than Deion Sanders. The Raiders are holding the No.6 Draft pick. And they have to do it right!

Look, Shedeur Sanders started this season as the golden boy, but Jaxson Dart’s late-season surge has turned the draft into a QB chess match. With Deion eyeing a Vegas coaching gig and Shedeur’s No. 1 dreams in jeopardy, the drama’s just heating up. Buckle up—this NFL draft season is about to get wild. And who knows? Maybe February’s Senior Bowl will be the stage where Dart officially chops down the Sanders’ dream tree. And Shedeur falling into his dad’s lap at 6. Ain’t gonna lie, that would be the best possible end for Shedeur Sanders’ college career.
