Allegations of Deion Sanders ‘keeping it in the family’ are on the rise, and Sheduer Sanders’ response to it has not been the best. All the critics have been at the Sanders father-son duo for months, and seems that they are not about to run out of them anytime soon. Amidst all this, some analysts are looking out for Deion Sanders and his gridiron sensation son, Shedeur Sanders, not based solely on his performance but on the mindset he carries himself with.
The persona appreciating this has been through the phase of being a star QB at Colorado. The best QB to ever exist in the CU franchise history, Kordell Stewart, better known as the MVP of the ’95 Fiesta Bowl, shielded Shedeur Sanders against the negativity. When it’s coming from the Big Eight Conference’s all-time total offense leader with 7,770 yards, you know it’s the most reliable verdict.

Shedeur Sanders ‘the dog’ of college football

As many arguments might start gushing in with the statement Stewart made, ‘Thee Pregame show’ guest had fair reasons to say so. Taking a powerful jibe against all the ‘ Sheduer Sanders is nepotism baby’ claimers, Stewart had some more powerful numbers to remind the crowd of. “They think it’s Daddy Ball, but when you look at the numbers, you got a generational quarterback in Shedeur Sanders,” blatantly asserted the former star Buffs QB. So much so, that in the eyes of Stewart, Sheduer Sanders outplayed the previous year’s Heisman Champion Caleb Williams.
The Buffs Hall of Famer’s blazing comparison was enough to leave the folks at a loss for words. “Who could have taken that butt whooping and still produce the way he did? You think Caleb Williams could have handled that at USC getting beat down like that and coming back every week, matter of fact?” The interrogation instantly reminded each fan of the picture that earned Caleb Williams some unwanted criticism: him crying while hugging his mother after a horrible loss. Sheduer Sanders, on the other hand, showed up each time, even with injuries. Which is why Stewart called him, ” The dog and the leader.” This is exactly what Deion Sanders also communicated, just in a different fashion.

Deion Sanders’ message to his son

Deion Sanders, getting exhausted from explaining the critics calmly, finally decided to taunt them. Through his Instagram post, Deion Sanders penned a strong message for his son, asking him to neglect the comments.
“Son, they’re upset with no valid reason to be. Let’s do us and not engage in foolishness,” captioned Deion Sanders.
