Coach Prime Reveals Why Shedeur Sanders Isn’t Headed for 2024 NFL Draft

This year’s NFL Draft has already projected the potential top overall prospect in USC Trojans QB Caleb Williams. He’s considered the favorite pick by the Chicago Bears who hold the No. 1 pick. If Shedeur Sanders were to enter the draft this year, where would he be?

Before college football players started declaring for the NFL Draft, many Buffs fans were excited that Shedeur Sanders would be one among them. But Deion Sanders has a different plan in mind and he doesn’t want to see his son go after just one season in Colorado. What could be the actual reason for that?

Deion Sanders breaks down the reality of why Shedeur Sanders isn’t entering the 2024 NFL Draft

Talking on BuffsTV on YouTube during the spring football media press conference, Deion Sanders reveals his mind on Shedeur Sanders. He made a revelation of why he didn’t let his QB son enter the NFL Draft this year. Coach Prime spoke of a possible scenario saying, “If Shedeur would’ve gone in the draft this year, he probably would have been the second. He wouldn’t have been the first quarterback off the board I think. He has the ability but he probably would have been the second quarterback off the board.”

While Shedeur Sanders performed incredibly well given the situation he was put in with a dismal offense, the CU Buffs didn’t have a season they expected last year as they fell 4-8. The 21-year-old recorded 3,230 yards and 27 TDs despite being sacked a record of 52 times. With several injuries taking a toll on him, he eventually had to sit out the last game against the Utah Utes due to upper body injury. While he has one more season to prove his worth in college football, let’s take a look at fellow QBs who’ll potentially be at the top of the board. 

Top QBs in the 2024 NFL Draft 

According to Chris Simms’ 2024 NFL Draft QB rankings, USC Caleb Williams remains the top overall prospect followed by LSU Jayden Daniels. They’re the favorite to land the top 2 spots in the NFL Draft which will take place starting on April 25 in Detroit. Both Williams and Daniels are Heisman Trophy winners in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

The Bears and Washington Commanders have the first and second pick and they’re both teams with QB requirements. Williams finished last season with 3,633 yards and 30 TDs while Daniels locked 3,812 yards and 40 TDs. If Shedeur Sanders enters the draft this year, the competition is intense. Deion Sanders wants to see his son at the top, thus he barred him from entering this year’s draft despite his eligibility.
