When the 2025 NFL draft comes calling, whether it is Raiders or anyone else, Shedeur Sanders’s name will be on 2Legendary. As his go-to customized Cuban chain reads. Authenticity isn’t just about the plays you call—it’s the legacy you leave. Few embody this better than Deion Sanders, the legendary Hall of Famer turned head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes. The Buffs QB1 has some expectations to fulfill.

Coach Prime’s influence stretches far beyond the field, resonating deeply with the younger generation. But for one young man, it’s more than admiration; it’s personal. Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son and star quarterback for the Buffaloes, recently shared insights about his father’s raw and uncompromising approach to life and football. And it’s as real as it gets. The Jackson State alum recently sat down with Andraya Carter for a Nike interview. Hey look Nike does like him; The Perfect Timing artist started with a typical Shedeur bling.

“Nothing we do is fake. Even the jewellery—never fake.” The light-hearted tone didn’t last long, though. He quickly pivoted to the essence of Deion Sanders’ character. “Pops was always cutthroat,” he confessed. “He’ll tell you straight up how it is”. That unfiltered honesty, Shedeur revealed, shaped not only his football career but his worldview. It’s a mindset rooted in grit, tough love, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. This candor, the #2 believes, is vital for younger generations. Reflecting on his own experiences, he remarked, “I’ve seen a lot of people be fake to me, honestly, just growing up”. That reality forged a resolve in Shedeur to ensure he leaves a positive impact on kids looking up to him and his family. His father’s no-nonsense approach wasn’t just about critiquing a bad game—it was about life lessons, accountability, and staying grounded, even under the continuous spotlight of fame and success.

Deion Sanders’ coaching philosophy mirrors his parenting style. As head coach, he’s revitalized Colorado’s football program with an unapologetic approach to leadership. Critics may label his methods as brash, but the results speak for themselves. Players rally around his vision, and his authenticity resonates beyond the locker room, drawing admiration even from those who don’t don the Buffaloes black and gold. Now, has his vision set when Shedeur Sanders prepares to be legendary in the NFL too.

Coach Prime may pull a “Manning” for Shedeur Sanders draft

Deion Sanders isn’t just Coach Prime; he’s also Dad Prime, and he’s not shy about stepping in for his son Shedeur’s NFL future. Deion has been hyping up Shedeur as a top-five prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft—and with good reason. Shedeur’s been lighting it up this season, with 2,882 yards and 24 touchdowns entering week 12 against the Gators. Keeping them 7-2 and playoff-worthy.

But here’s the catch: being that good in college often lands you with a struggling NFL team, or worse, one with a management style that screams chaos. Deion’s not about to let that happen. Channeling his inner Manning, Coach Prime reportedly plans to intervene if a “wrong team” tries to draft Shedeur. According to USA Today, he’s all in on protecting his son and his teammate Travis Hunter from potentially unpleasant situations.

“I’m gonna be dad until the cows come home, and with Travis as well.” Said Prime.
