Shedeur Sanders will be one of the attractions of the next Draft. He also happens to be the son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, who is also his coach at the University of Colorado.
Never discreet during his career, then entertaining consultant for American television, Deion Sanders does not intend to let his son be drafted by just anyone.
Guest of the show Speak, on FS1, the dad-coach explained that he is ready to get involved in the Draft process to prevent his son from falling into a franchise that he does not consider solid enough.
“ Yes, but I won't do it publicly. I will do it in private“, explained Deion Sanders. “ And also for Travis (Hunter). »
The son and excellent receiver from Colorado will therefore have a boost. But what are they looking for?
“ Someone who can handle the quarterback he is. Someone who can understand what he is capable of doing. Someone who has had success with quarterbacks in the past, or someone in the franchise who knows what they're doing, who doesn't just throw you in with the wolves if you don't have the support and the infrastructure. of the team. It's not about the offensive line. He played with some lines that weren't great but he did his thing. It's really the infrastructure of the team and the direction they're going. “
Enough to thrill some franchises that could be at the top of the Draft. Sanders is definitely number one in our latest Mock Draft.
Shedeur Sanders like John Elway and Eli Manning?
Cases of players refusing to be selected by a team are quite rare. The most notable example is John Elway, who refused to play for the Baltimore Colts in 1983 and announced that he would rather play baseball. Eventually, Baltimore folded, sending him to Denver. In 2004, Eli Manning refused to go to the Chargers, who were also forced into a transfer, which allowed them to recover Philip Rivers.
Extremely rare decisions. Elway had the advantage of having the threat of baseball, which Shedeur Sanders does not have, who will therefore have to pull off the same shot as Eli Manning.
