Yes, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, the offspring of the iconic NFL and MLB player turned head football coach at the University of Colorado Boulder. Rich Sanders, the Atlanta Falcons scout, knows a thing or two about the family.

Rich Sanders: Falcons? dream lineup

Rich Sanders previously served as a scouting assistant for the Falcons for two seasons before taking over Southwest scouting duties. The question is, can he convince the Sanders brothers to leave Colorado and embark on their NFL journey in 2024? Deion Sanders, their father and coach, seems to have other plans. He has told them that they won’t be leaving Colorado just yet, and they’re expected to grace the Colorado Buffaloes with their talent for at least one more season.

But Rich Sanders isn’t backing down. In fact, NFL Rookie Watch reported that he was present at Colorado’s practice with a resolute statement: “We gone get them Sanders boys. We ain’t coming back unless we bring those Sanders boys to the A, both of them.” And there’s a fascinating historical connection here too. You see, exactly 34 years ago, Deion Sanders himself started his NFL career as an Atlanta Falcon.

Rich Sanders, the scout, acknowledges this connection, emphasizing that his goal is to see Shedeur and Shilo follow in their father’s footsteps. He even mentioned a dream lineup featuring Shedeur Sanders, Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts, hinting that things could get “CRAZY.”

It’s important to note that Rich Sanders, the man behind this mission, is no novice. He’s the Southwest Area Scout for the Atlanta Falcons, and in his earlier days, he was a defensive line player for Morehouse College. Now, let’s delve into the history. What’s the significance of this “34-year-old moment” between Coach Prime and the Falcons?

34-year-old connection between Coach Prime and the Falcons

Well, it’s a story of greatness in the making. In the 1989 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons drafted Deion Sanders, the ex-professional football and baseball player, in the first round as the fifth overall player, right out of Florida State, marking the beginning of his NFL journey.

Sanders’ stardom in the NFL was evident from the get-go. In his very first game, he returned a punt an astonishing 68 yards for a touchdown. During his time with the Falcons, he intercepted 24 passes, 3 of which he returned for touchdowns. He scored 10 touchdowns in total during his five years with the team, including 3 on defense, 3 on kick returns, 2 on punt returns, and 2 receptions.

But Deion Sanders’ story extends beyond the Falcons. Over his career, spanning five different teams, he notched an impressive six punt return touchdowns, three kickoff return scores, and tallied nine interceptions for touchdowns. His remarkable prowess as a cornerback and punt returner earned him a prestigious spot on the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 1990s.
