Is Bronny James the Shedeur Sanders of the NBA? After the tactic that James’s agent, Rich Paul pulled to make sure that he gets drafted by top seeds like the Lakers or the Suns, Bronny James has eclipsed others to make headlines. However, they are not the only ones. The Sanders family, the football equivalent of the James family, is also in the news. The reason: fans believe that a similar situation would be created in the NFL 2025 draft with Shedeur Sanders.

Per the reports, the agent of Bronny James, Rich Paul, issued a stern warning to other teams, except the Lakers and the Suns, about drafting LeBron James’s son. ESPN Bob Myres and his colleagues had a good laugh about the situation while reciting the warning Paul had given. “Don’t draft Bronny, or else he’s playing in Australia.” The revelation came as the ‘Aha!’ moment for the fans as they connected the dots quickly. A top team like the Lakers drafted James, who spent just one season playing college basketball where he averaged 4.8 points on 36.6% shooting, along with 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Mayer’s revelation puts everything together.

But where do Shedeur Sanders and his father Deion Sanders come in all of this? Well, the fans across the internet are suspecting Deion Sanders and his team to make a similar sneaky move to ensure that Shedeur ends up in the teams that Deion Sanders wants. Coach Prime has already made his choices of teams clear for his son, the 5 teams that he played for in his NFL career, plus the Philadelphia Eagles.

Several analysts are already suspecting Shedeur Sanders to be a first-rounder. Yet the fans are expecting them to do something similar. Expressing their distaste over the situation, a user wrote,” Deion Sanders taking notes for next April,” indicating that Prime would be planning on something like this. The other fans backed the thought up on X.

Deion Sanders and son become the fans’ targets

Other fans followed suit on X, and they did not hesitate a bit while putting it directly. “Literally going to be Shedeur Sanders next year,” another fan quoted on X. Deion Sanders has previously mentioned about him having some contacts in the NFL, thanks to his legacy. Hence, it took no time for the fans to come up with assumptions about him using them to help his son.

“Wait until Deion next year X 3,” another user wrote, indicating that Deion Sanders might as well pull a bigger stunt than the James family. Another user expressed their emotions through a GIF of a smiling Deion Sanders clad in his shiny attire and expensive jewelry.

The last user went a notch ahead of everyone, straight-up claiming that Deion Sanders also did something like this. “Deion Sanders did it. Shedeur is 100% gonna do it when he’s in the draft,” the user said. The predictions from fans are giving all the laughs to the NFL world while the mock draft analysts are giving them their predictions of where Shedeur Sanders would end up.
