The statement surprised everyone, as Prescott is a QB for the Dallas Cowboys who was drafted in 2016, while Shedeur is the QB for the Colorado Buffaloes, a team that struggled with its offense last season. But given the history of Bayless and his criticism of Dak Prescott over the years, it makes sense. The statement from Skip Bayless is indeed outrageous and was immediately condemned by his colleague, Keyshawn Johnson.

The name of the Dallas Cowboys and their QB, Dak Prescott, emerged when the panel discussed the probability of Shedeur Sanders being picked by the Dallas Cowboys. The matter becomes important as recent statements from Deion Sanders indicate a shift in power dynamics in the NFL. Coach Prime cited the example of Eli Manning to explain how the players can exercise their choices despite the NFL being driven by a draft system where players do not have many choices about their future.

Deion Sanders was invited to episode #266 of Million dollaz worth of game podcast to discuss about his upcoming book Elevate and Dominate. During the podcast he even talked about his son, Shedeur and Travis Hunter while giving them advice for the draft. He said, “I know where I want them to go,” He further added, “So, it’s certain cities that ain’t gonna happen. It’s going to be an Eli.

Sanders doesn’t want Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders to end up at certain teams, as it will not be beneficial for their careers; hence, the suggestion. Eli Manning suffered from a similar dilemma in 2004 when he specifically asked the LA Chargers to pick him. Sanders believes that the players have the power to choose, if exercised properly, something proven by Eli Manning.
