Coach Prime Accused of “Forcing” Shedeur & Shilo Sanders After Polarising NFL Draft Prediction

Deion Sanders’ parenting has survived several allegations in the past before. Most of them stemmed from the accusation of Coach Prime coddling his children. That was quite some time ago. Now, the opposite, allegations against Prime for ‘forcing’ his children to be adults have grabbed the limelight.

‘The Coach JB Show with Big Smitty’ brought one of the most-discussed parts of Deion Sanders’ life to public attention, again, for different reasons this time. “I use the word Force, forcing children to become to be children. Wouldn’t you rather Force kids to be kids than allow them to be adults when they’re not ready?” the host asked. “No, if their father is Deion Sanders,” answered the guest.

A barb was right on its way towards Shilo and Shedeur’s haute contour lifestyle. “Not every single kid is like getting handed bags and is spoiled,” JB said, referring to the LV bags that often make appearances with Sanders’ family members. Not to mention the luxe cars the Sanders kids boast. Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders recently got a Ram 1500 TRX each added to their fleet of luxury vehicles.

It’s quite rare to find 22-year-olds with Cullinans and Lamborghinis. Shedeur Sanders owns about 5 avant-grande cars, including top names like Mercedes and Chevrolet. Whereas, per JB Smitty, 99% of young kids are driving old civics and trucks with frequent flat tires. Well, having the highest NIL valuation in the whole of college football comes with its benefits for Shedeur. Like being projected the 1st pick of the NFL draft of the next year by your father/head coach.

Is Deion Sanders’ prediction problematic?

Struggling to block the sacks in your offense and toiling to get a win following 3 initial wins was how Shedeur Sanders’ previous season went. 4-8 record and Shedeur Sanders getting sacked 52 times, the highest in the Nation, got branded alongside Deion Sanders’ massive spurt in popularity. Hence, when he strongly believed his son was going to be the No.1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, along with him being an ‘Eli’, where ‘certain cities weren’t going to happen’, people ridiculed him.

Per a report, Shedeur Sanders’s base salary of $4.8 million was enough to leave the salary of the top QBs like Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow behind. One can only imagine the likes of Shedeur’s salary once he steps into the NFL. His popularity is soaring high, sure, but it’s his records that will have to coincide with his popularity to make the top seeds want him. Will the 2024 season do any good to Shedeur’s records?
