The podcast witnessed Coach Prime’s dual role as a father and a coach. Revealing his genuine admiration for his son Shedeur on the football field, Deion Sanders confidently stated, “Shedeur is arguably the first pick of the whole draft.” The quarterback’s 2023 season stats comprise 27 touchdowns with 3 interceptions and 3,230 yards.
Hence, as the NFL Draft approaches, the spotlight on Shedeur intensifies, and Deion Sanders’ bold prediction sets the stage for high hopes surrounding the young quarterback. In other news, when inquired about his kids gifting him a new home, Deion Sanders claimed that they are house-shopping.
Drawing from this conversation, Sanders shifted the focus to Shilo’s potential which could earn him a potential first-round spot as a safety in the NFL Draft. Similarly, his brother, Sheduer will also expose his prominence in the Draft. Interestingly, besides Deion Sanders, Shedeur himself believes in his skills to earn the prime spot.

Even though Shedeur has opted out of the 2024 NFL Draft to pursue playing as the Buffaloes quarterback under the tutelage of Deion Sanders, he holds high hopes for the upcoming Draft. He did not shy away from expressing his belief and stated in an interview, “I am biased, but I don’t see a quarterback that’s better than me.”
In an attempt to substantiate his point, he highlighted the adversity he faced being under pressure by shifting from an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) to a Power Five program. Besides all these adversaries, in the past 11 games, Shedeur had put up an exceptional performance.
