Deion Sanders admitted Friday that he does, in fact, have a list of NFL teams he won't allow his son Shedeur Sanders to play for.
“It’s not like that,” Sanders said on the Tamron Hall Show when asked if there's a preferred list of teams he wants Shedeur to play for. “It’s not like who I would like for him to play for. It’s a couple of teams that I won’t allow him to play for. So it’s not like that. But this is my profession. I know what’s behind the curtain. We ain’t got to get back there for me to understand what’s behind the curtain and what’s not prominent for my son. I’m not doing it.”
Sanders has gone back and forth on this issue. He's denied he had a list, but he also said back in March that he "kinda" knows where he wants Shedeur and Shilo Sanders to end up.
It was the same rant where he claimed it'd "be an Eli," a reference to Eli and Arch Manning getting the former to the New York Giants and away from the San Diego Chargers.
"All this is subjective because I know where I kind of want them to go," Sanders said, per Bleacher Report. "And let's not forget Shilo (Sanders). But I know where I want them to go. There's certain cities where it ain't going to happen. ...It's going to be an Eli."
It's easy to speculate on who Coach Prime would be talking about. He's embracing the Tennessee Titans but not the Cleveland Browns, who have the No. 2 pick. Shedeur has Giants and Raiders cleats but never repped the Jets, another QB-needy team.
If you're historically disorganized, Deion doesn't want you.
