Shedeur Sanders & Co. sure knows how to have fun. Just the other day, his teammate and two-ways star Travis Hunter was teasing about getting a fake butt with some BBL surgery. Shedeur was initially mad, but now they’re all laughing about it.
Now, the quarterback’s half-brother, Deion Sanders Jr., is entering the mix. He’s trying to get back at Travis for messing with his brother.
In the August 5 Well Off Media video, Shedeur Sanders casually calls over Deion Sanders Jr. during practice and says, “Hey bro, tell the Raiders I’m trying.” As people wonder what he’s up to, Deion Jr. jumps in, pointing the camera at Hunter and teasing, “Hey, the Raiders said they just looking for someone with BBL.” Hunter quickly fires back, “And I guess he found you.” Deion Jr. tries to smooth things by saying, “No, I refer him to you,” but it doesn’t quite work out. Hunter realizes the brothers are having fun with him, so he shuts the conversation.

Even though they’re joking around, it’s clear that Shedeur and his crew want to play for the Raiders. Many experts have also predicted that Shedeur will be an excellent fit for the Raiders. ESPN’s Matt Miller even thinks the Raiders might have to trade up to get him.

There’s no denying that the Raiders desperately need a new quarterback after their old one, Jimmy Garoppolo, left for the LA Rams. Now, they have Gardener Minshew and Aiden O’Connell fighting for the starting job. But if Shedeur gets picked by the Raiders, he’ll probably be a tough contender for that position. And the best part is that his dad, Deion Sanders, loves the idea, too.

What’s your perspective on:
Travis Hunter outsmarting Deion Sanders Jr.—Is this the funniest moment of the season so far?
Have an interesting take?
Deion Sanders is totally obsessed with his Buffaloes stars Shedeur and Travis Hunter’s NFL days. He’s always been the best hype man for them! Last year, even during the NFL draft, Deion was raving about how his guys can totally pull an Eli Manning. He knows it’s all about opinions, but he’s super confident that Shedeur and Travis wouldn’t want to play for specific teams. And guess what? He named many teams he played for, like the Falcons and Cowboys. Weirdly enough, he didn’t mention the Raiders, but he didn’t hate the idea either.

When the Big 12 media asked Deion about Shedeur playing for the Raiders last month, he said, “That would be nice.” But he didn’t stop with the 4-word approval. He soon started praising the Raiders’ coach, Antonio Pierce. “Great man, great leader…I love what he brings to the table,” he added to his seal of approval.
Even though the Raiders didn’t do so hot last season with just a 5-4 record, Deion wishes them the best this time. He said, “I don’t want him to lose to the point where he has the ability to get Shedeur, let’s get that straight. I don’t want that to happen, I really don’t.” The reality is that the teams that usually finish last get the first-round picks in the draft, and Deion thinks Shedeur will surely be the top pick. But he doesn’t want the Raiders to be that bad. We must wait a few more months to see how this turns out!
