“It’s gonna be an Eli,” Deion Sanders said, oozing some strong, fatherly confidence. In his latest appearance in the Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Deion Sanders predicted his son Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, the marquee names at Buffs, to be the IT players of the 2025 draft.
Speaking of big dreams, Coach Prime surely has some for his QB son and Hunter, expecting their fate to turn out like Eli Manning. Manning’s unforgettable numbers at Ole Miss gave him the luxury to demand a trade from the New York Giants, despite being selected by the San Diego Chargers, since he didn’t want to play from certain cities.

On one hand, there’s Deion Sanders’ sky-high expectations, and on the other, there’s the 2023 record of the Buffs. The Buffs’ numbers plummeted right down the slope to 1-8 after their celebrated 3 initial wins, something that didn’t sit well with the fans. “Now, all this is subjective because I know what I want, kind of want them to go. And let’s not forget Shilo. But I know where I want them to go,” Deion Sanders said, further asserting that he would hold the reins until his son gets picked in the 2025 NFL draft. Per him, Shedeur Sanders would be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 draft class, whereas Travis Hunter would be at least the No.4 pick.
Deion Sanders is 3 months off coaching Colorado to a 4-8 season and he's saying 2 of his players (including his son) are going top 4 overall in next year's NFL Draft and will pick their destinations… 🤣
Delusion combined with arrogance and so many other unlikable traits. 🤮 https://t.co/bo77XbtXnk

“Delusion combined with arrogance and so many other unlikable traits,” was the opinion of Utah CFB Stats on Deion Sanders. And most college football fans agree with them.
What the fans have to say about Sanders
The seemingly undoable expectations from Sanders immediately prompted a round of mocking rampage against Sanders. The users started giving the logic behind why Sanders’s expectations seem illogical to them.
How would they go in the top 4 AND pick their destinations. Going in top 4 automatically eliminates 28 teams lol

A user highlighted the rule of the NFL draft that eliminates the possibility of both of Sanders’ expectations being fulfilled at the same time.
He’s worried about what nfl teams they go to but not the o-line he has put his son behind

Another user highlighted the fundamental flaw that brought much-needed attention to the faulty Buffs offense. Sanders was sacked 52 times in the previous season, highest in the Nation, a pressing issue that Sanders needs to address this season.

Nothing wrong with positive thoughts. Won't happen, but goodluck.

Arrogance is not the same thing as confidence
