Deion Sanders Jr. had none of the NFL Rookie Watch X account's claims that Shedeur Sanders would only consider being drafted by the Las Vegas Raiders or Dallas Cowboys, claiming "Bro is completely lying about everything he just tweeted."

The account used the term "reportedly" several times in the alleged fake news claiming he specifically wouldn't play for the NY Giants or the Cleveland Browns. Cam Ward was also thrown under the bus in the supposed "report."

"Shedeur Sanders is reportedly prepared to be drafted by the Las Vegas Raiders or the Dallas Cowboys in the upcoming NFL Draft. There is reportedly a 'high likelihood' Sanders would refuse to play if he was drafted by either the Giants or Browns. Similar to how Eli Manning refused to play for the Chargers in the 2004 NFL Draft. Many NFL scouts reportedly believe the Giants will end up 'settling' for Cam Ward, knowing Sanders wouldn’t play for them. The Buffaloes QB has a lot of PULL," the account tweeted.

Shedeur is seemingly sending signals that he'd love to be on the Raiders, but nothing is officially on the record. All there is is a video of Deion Sanders telling Antonio Pierce during 2024 Super Bowl week to draft his sons.

This isn't to say that things may play out in a way that this report said it would. But these are a lot of bold claims not to attach even a description of the source to.

Ahead of the Heisman ceremony, this is just social media fodder. Treat it as such, even if Shedeur is more than likely a Raider come April.
