Raiders Insider Podcast host Hondo Carpenter and The Spun's Matt Hladik discussed Deion Sanders' view of Shedeur Sanders bringing his own version of "Prime Time" to Las Vegas; ultimately deciding that Coach Prime would assuredly bless the "Grown QB" joining a franchise Tom Brady just bought a minority owner's stake in.
"I know the interest that is there with Shedeur. It is starting to take, I am not saying it is there yet and I reserve the right but it is starting to take a, this is a Shedeur Sanders, they got to get Shedeur type of feel," said Carpenter (h/t On SI).
"It kind of does," said Hladik. "When you look at just the consensus from draft analysts and obviously the league will always differentiate somewhat, from what the media thinks. But right now there are only two guys who seem to be consensus, early first-round, top 10 quarterbacks and that is Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward. I think Shedeur is the quintessential Raider. Now obviously there are a lot of teams that are looking for quarterbacks up near the top.
"We talked about it before, he knows Mark Davis. There is the Brady factor, where I am sure that Deion Sanders would be comfortable with his son going to a team where Tom Brady has some influence. Shedeur, I think you see what he has done where he has uplifted an offense and uplifted a program at Colorado ... The way it seems like guys sort of gravitate to him, he has a swagger about him ... I think he fits, while what you know the quintessential Raider is."
Shedeur has been as obvious as one can be about his interest in the Raiders. He likely began discussing the New York Giants on his "2Legendary" podcast to throw off the scent. The situation in Las Vegas is tailor-made for Shedeur, or Cam Ward, right now, and while everywhere is far from Colorado, Nevada is at least somewhat reasonably close.
That way, Buffs fans can travel to Allegiant Stadium and Shedeur can fly back to Boulder to donate his NFL salary to CU's NIL fund like he said he would.
