Shedeur Sanders has been emerging as the ideal successor of his father and showing strong signs to carry the torch forward with all due respect. The kid just capped off a stupendous season at Colorado and signed off from the collegiate career with this to have it better at the big league. The stage is ready, and it’s just a matter of time to see the standout Buffs star shine in a high-flying NFL role, but the question is, who will get the lottery to swoop in the $4 million worth Nepo star? The question contains a lot of ifs and buts, especially given the instrumental access of Deion Sanders to chime in the process.

Papa Sanders has a series of conditions to be met before letting his son settle into a league, and, despite a lot of crooked eyes on it, long-time friend cum CFB pundit provides him with some assurance.

Coach Prime and controversy go hand in hand. No debate on that. But the one that brewed over Shedeur Sanders getting drafted to a top-tier NFL team has been the most dramatic so far. During a recent appearance on the Tamron Hall Show, the veteran coach was asked if he had some teams in his mind he would like to see his sons play for. In response, Sanders didn’t name any, but he mentioned that he won’t allow a few specific teams to get Shedeur on the board. As a seasoned head coach and a former player, he knows what is behind the curtain. So, he won’t compromise on his sons’ safety.

The statement triggered mixed emotions from fans and veterans, but Shannon & Stephen wholeheartedly supported what Sanders had in mind. “He has always done everything in the best interest of his kids. The man is a wonderful father. You can see how much his children love their daddy. Keep doing what you are doing,” said the veteran analyst.

From the very beginning, Sanders was pretty strict in his sons’ future moves. He let the world know that he wants the coaches for Shedeur and Shilo to be anything but professional and shallow. He would rather trust someone young who possesses the urge to teach with calm exposure to be their next mentor. Providing them with at least some comfort and care similar to their father’s has been the top priority on Deion Sanders’ checklist.

However, the reality around Shilo Sanders is outright different.

Shilo Sanders wants to move out of the Deion Sanders bubble in his approaching NFL career

While Shedeur has been carrying out his father’s guidance throughout the process, the younger one, Shilo Sanders, has a rebellious instinct to shake off. Not only did Shedeur Sanders receive all the hype as the would-be NFL mogul, but Shilo Sanders has also declared for the draft. It’s his underwhelming numbers and some faulty games that worked against the buzz, but he is still turning heads as the son of a blueblood. But it is not how he wanted it to be.

The Colorado defensive back, Shilo is largely projected as a late-round pick. Thanks to his average stat, 67 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, and a lot of injury hiccups in between. But if he works on his issues, he could be an asset to the team that takes a chance on him. But one thing he has clear on his mind. He doesn’t want to be under the shadow of his legendary father anymore.

In a recent clip shared on Rivals.com, Shilo boldly confessed, “I don’t call myself Coach Prime’s son,“ distancing himself from the shadow of his Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders. “That’s what you’re calling me. I’ve been making a name for myself for a long time,“ Shilo added with zero hesitation.

We’ll soon find out which team Sanders ultimately allows his sons to join as they take the next step in their careers.
