More news: Shedeur Sanders Drops Major Hint at Preferred NFL Destination Deion Sanders, their father, is the current coach of the Colorado Buffaloes and has helped mold both young men into NFL-quality players. However, their draft position will be determined by multiple factors. Shedeur is one of the highest-touted quarterbacks in the draft, and he could go as high as the No. 1 overall pick. Recently, he sported some New York Giants-themed cleats, which was before the Giants beat the Indianapolis Colts and dropped out of the first overall pick.

Andrew Wevers/Getty Images The issue is there are multiple reports that seem to indicate where Shedeur and Shilo prefer to play, and where Deion would prefer them to play as well. Now, the Buffaloes coach has called out these reports on social media. It will be multiple IDIOTS that will say things that totally aren’t true regarding where I would like @ShedeurSanders & @ShiloSanders to play in the @nfl. If I say it I will say it directly to whom it may concern not a attention seeker. I do know @nflcommish personally! ?drop — COACH PRIME (@DeionSanders) December 30, 2024 Deion took to X to state, “It will be multiple IDIOTS that will say things that totally aren’t true regarding where I would like Shedeur Sanders Shilo Sanders to play in the nfl. If I say it I will say it directly to whom it may concern not a attention seeker. I do know nflcommish personally! ?drop.” Deion is alluding to the reports that the Sanders brothers would prefer not to play for specific teams. Deion backed that up with the following post. They’ve already started the lying and positioning but they forgot I got TIME TODAY. ???????? — COACH PRIME (@DeionSanders) December 30, 2024 Whether or not this is just the media trying to catch a hot story, or if its teams floating out fake stories to secure a better position to draft Shedeur or Shilo, Deion has stated that none of that is true. Granted, he is likely going to be proud of his sons no matter where they go. As stated, the Giants initially held the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, a win on Sunday dropped them all the way down to No. 4 overall. According to tankathon.com, the current top five picks in the draft are: 1. New England Patriots 2. Tennessee Titans 3. Cleveland Browns 4. New York Giants 5. Jacksonville Jaguars. Though the Patriots own the top pick, they are unlikely to draft Shedeur, simply because they already have Drake Maye. The Titans, Browns, and Giants all need a franchise quarterback, and could all theoretically draft Shedeur.

He is another highly-rated quarterback who might also go higher than Shedeur. Simply put, Deion understands that his sons will go to whatever team drafts them, and the reports that he is denying them being drafted to specific teams are just nonsense.
