Deion Sanders makes his stance clear on future NFL coaching opportunities
Sanders didn't hesitate for a second. After watching what unfolded with his son Shedeur Sanders, the former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback, he immediately put an end to the question as he remains loyal to the University of Colorado.
There are plenty of conspiracies and opinions about why Shedeur dropped to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft after receiving first-round grades throughout his senior year at Colorado.
He electrified the college football world with his accuracy, completing 74.0% of his passes while racking up 4,134 yards and an impressive 37 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions. His stellar performance earned him Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and Second-Team AP All-American recognition.
Sheduer remained on the Cleveland Browns bench until week 11, when rookie quarterback Dillion Gabriel's injury thrust him into action.
He started the final seven games, going 3-4 despite an injury-riddled offensive line and limited weapons.
Shedeur became the first Browns quarterback since 2007 to throw three touchdowns and rush for another in their 31-29 loss to Tennessee.
It is clear that Coach Prime remains frustrated about his son's draft experience, but his continued commitment to Colorado, despite the ongoing rumors, is very encouraging.
Last year's 3-9 disappointment is in the rearview mirror.
Coach Prime and company have aggressively retooled through the transfer portal, assembling an entirely new team positioned aimed to turn things around this fall.
