From feuding exes to proud parents, Deion Sanders and Pilar show us how to turn a page. Once entangled in a public split, they’ve found common ground for the sake of their kids. Their recent united front, celebrating their QB son Shedeur Sanders‘ success, is a heartwarming reminder of that! As the NFL community buzzes with excitement over Shedeur’s ascent, it’s not only his impressive talent that is making waves—it’s also his parents’ surprising collaboration, demonstrating that even fractured relationships can strengthen in the face of shared accomplishments.

However, this time the celebration is even more significant because Shedeur Sanders’s excellent gameplay is not only praised but also officially acknowledged. Yeah, you heard that right. The Big 12 conference gave Shedeur much-deserved recognition as the Offensive Player of the Year. And if that doesn’t call for appreciation, then what will? The moment this news came out, Pilar Sanders shared a post for her kid making big moves in the CFB saying, “CONGRATULATIONS, SON! YOU DESERVE IT! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

How can Deion Sanders stay away from praising Shedeur Sanders for his achievement at this moment? The proud dad and head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes took to social media to celebrate. He didn’t forget to thank the higher power either, expressing gratitude for the team’s success and his star players. “Thank you, JESUS, for everything you continue to do. The Lord is my Shepherd!” he wrote, tagging both his son and his two-way star, Travis Hunter, who also clinched the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year award.

Despite their own personal drama, Deion and Pilar Sanders always prioritize their children. A recent heartwarming moment was captured during the Colorado Buffaloes’ final regular season game. As Shedeur and Shilo Sanders took their final senior walk, their parents came together to show support. In a playful twist, Shedeur even pranked his parents by bringing them onto the field. Deion handled the awkward situation with grace, a testament to his ability to rise above personal issues. While Shedeur’s ‘offensive player of the year’ award is a significant achievement, it’s worth asking if it truly reflects his full potential.

Is Heisman just a dream for Shedeur Sanders?

There is no doubt that Shedeur Sanders is one of the best quarterbacks in college football. But somehow he needs to get the amount of recognition he deserves. Even after being the No. 1 QB in the country for his completion rate, 2nd in the TDs thrown, and 5th in QB ratings, the surprising fact is no other top signal-caller is even in the top 10 of all these categories. Doesn’t this stat deserve more than just the 5th position in the Heisman Odds? But voters and the selection committee cannot stand two players from Colorado making it to New York.

Even Buffs star two-way player Travis Hunter feels the same about Shedeur Sanders standing in the Heisman as he says, “How can you be the top pick, the top quarterback pick, in the NFL Draft, but you’re not even considered to be in the Heisman race? Like, how does that even work? How does that even make sense? That makes no sense.” That’s a straight fact: Shedeur is in the race for the top NFL draft pick and is even considered one of the most valuable players, but his Heisman chances seem nonexistent. Is this because the Buffs couldn’t make the playoffs, or because Travis and Shedeur are both competing from the same team?
