The recent appearance of Deion Sanders in a podcast featuring Lawrence Taylor has had fans harboring a secret. Coach Prime has dropped a truth bomb about his son, star Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Deion Sanders, the former professional football player, and proud father, sparked conversations about Shedeur’s potential in the competitive world of the NFL.

This exhibits the immense confidence that Coach Prime has in his son’s abilities that will position him in the highly anticipated 2025 NFL Draft. Coach Prime’s faith leaves fans eager to witness Sander’s progress on the field as they also get an insight into Sanders’ new home.

Deion Sanders predicts stardom for Shedeur

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.  

Shedeur’s bold confidence

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. 

Even though he acknowledges the other competitors who would probably give him a tough fight, including Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, he banks on his ability to handle immense pressure. Shedeur’s astounding self-confidence, which will propel the quarterback to secure success, backs Deion Sanders’ anticipation surrounding his son’s ascent to the first overall pick up.
