“Shedeur [Sanders] Was 4th [Best]”: Coach Prime Dragged Through the Mud for Bold Claims on QB Son’s Draft Prospect

Deion Sanders, known for his blunt analysis of his players, often gets what he wants from those he coaches. His recent bold statements on the Colorado duo, son Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, have stirred up the college football arena. He has dropped his take on how they would fare in the next year’s draft if they declare and where they can succeed.

As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, coaches are often asked questions irrelevant to the players declaring for the draft. This also adds up to the hype of the current class, increasing competition and anticipation among the fans. However, his bold claims have caused controversy, with many questioning whether he rates his son fairly.

Deion Sanders provides Shedeur’s ranking among quarterbacks

In a recent conversation, Coach Prime said his son, Shedeur Sanders, significantly impacted the 2023 season. This prompted his rise in rankings among the quarterbacks in contention. According to him, “Shedeur was 4th best.” This claim has raised eyebrows and drawn skepticism from fans and pundits. His prediction for their probable pick in the draft has also caused excitement for the Colorado fans if his views would hold any value.

In a YouTube podcast, Daren Bates, Jalen Collins, King Dunlap, and Alex Sweet discussed Coach Prime’s comments on Shedeur. Sweet remarked, “I get it, he might be putting on, he’s trying to help.” Considering Shedeur’s low profile compared to other top QBs, Coach Prime’s comments needed clarification with the podcasters. However, despite his father’s backing, Shedeur’s actual position remains questioned.

Deion Sanders’ influence on Travis Hunter’s future draft pick

After the controversy surrounding Deion Sanders’ comments on his son Shedeur Sanders, Coach Prime’s influence on other players, including Travis Hunter, is in the spotlight. The coach has been vocal about wanting the players to join efficient locations to secure careers and would even go out of his way to block them from making the wrong decision. Hunter has been a highly touted draft prospect, often considered one of the best receivers in his class.

Jalen Collins expressed his views on Deion Sanders’ comments on the podcast: “I just don’t like it because I feel like it’s like even with the Caleb Williams situation. That’s to me, you hindering.” Like him, many fans have questioned the ethical implications of Sanders’ influence on his son and Hunter’s career and decision-making.

While his intentions stem from an area of support and care, critics argue he might jeopardize them from maturing and making mistakes while learning from them. His words also pressured them to perform even better because of the high expectations. How well do you think the duo will fare in next year’s draft? Let us know in the comments below.
