Well, the offseason’s in full swing, with players making moves—either through the transfer portal or creating NFL buzz. Even Shedeur and Shilo aren’t skipping a beat at the East-West Shrine Bowl with their pro league gig. And no one is more excited than Deion Sanders, who has been guiding them since their time at Jackson State, through the Buffs, and to their rise as major players on the field. Get ready, folks, because it’s going to be one emotional rollercoaster!

For Deion Sanders, it’s not just about guiding them for the one last time, but also watching them live up to his expectations. And it’s all because of God’s grace, as the IG says, “Thank You, Lord, for it all.” Deion Sanders reflected on his sons’ participation, stressing how giving back has been a cornerstone of their upbringing, saying, “To see these guys go and just try to put a smile on their face, it’s unbelievable.” Highlighting their quiet acts of kindness, which often go unnoticed.

Now representing the West team for the Buffs were Shilo Sanders, LaJohntay Wester, Jimmy Horn Jr., Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, and Will Sheppard. Well, here’s the interesting part—Horn and Silmon-Craig ended up hanging out with Shedeur on the sidelines. But even without any practice, Shedeur still managed to attract a lot of attention. He was everywhere, talking to NFL teams and handling the media like a pro. When asked about his father and why he believes he should be the first QB drafted, Shedeur fully expressed his confidence.

However, Shilo Sanders has received mixed reviews during the East-West Shrine Bowl practices. The NFL hopefuls are striving to impress the scouts, but reports indicate that Sanders has struggled in important drills. Many have raised concerns about his potential, doubting his performance. Despite being on a big stage, his difficulties in one-on-one drills and team sessions have made scouts question his ability to make an impact.

Things got worse when NFL Rookie Watch hit X pointing out that Shilo has been ‘struggling’ in some of the more competitive drills, with opponents capitalizing on his weaknesses. Plus scouts also feel that he hasn’t “taken advantage of” boosting his draft stock, and many believe that he has missed opportunities to impress the scouts. But Shilo is not the only one whose draft prospects seem to have suffered.

Tension rises around Shedeur Sanders’ NFL move

Now, as we approach the 2025 NFL Draft, everyone focuses on Shedeur Sanders, a quarterback who has the potential to redefine the future of a franchise. We all know that the Browns, who are in desperate need of a reliable QB, have reportedly chosen Shedeur as their top pick. However, their current situation raises doubts. The issue is Deshaun Watson’s massive contract, which ties up a significant portion of the team’s salary cap space. Moving on from him would result in a substantial financial penalty. This constraint greatly limits the Browns’ ability to provide Shedeur with the talent and resources necessary for building a successful team.

Moreover, Deion Sanders, both Shedeur’s father and coach, understands the importance of finding the right NFL environment for developing a young quarterback. He has consistently expressed his desire for Shedeur to join a franchise that offers stability, strong leadership, and the resources needed to nurture his growth. Additionally, the Browns are also keeping an eye on Jalen Milroe’s situation, which provides Shedeur with a backup option.

Let’s be real, we all know the kind of power NIL holds in today’s era. Plus, even Insiders have revealed that Deion is actively guiding Shedeur towards teams with solid infrastructures, similar to those that have supported successful quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes under the coaching of Andy Reid in Kansas City. With Shilo’s inconsistent performances and Shedeur’s uncertain NFL team situation, things are currently a bit unstable for them. We will have to wait and see if there will be any final verdict after the Shrine Bowl.
