Deion Sanders Seems Excited by Idea of Falcons Drafting Shedeur, Shilo

With Colorado’s continued resurgence, NFL teams are taking note of which players on the team are worthy of being drafted. That list is headlined by Shedeur Sanders, the Buffaloes quarterback who is enjoying a breakout season.

As more scouts come to see Colorado, Deion Sanders is making sure to talk up his players, especially his two sons, Shedeur and defensive back Shilo Sanders. In behind the scenes video of Colorado’s practice posted by Well Off Media, the Colorado coach is seen making a Falcons scout say he wants both of his songs on his team.

“We ain’t coming back unless we bringing the Sanders boys to The A,” Atlanta scout Rich Sanders said, at the behest of Deion Sanders.

“That’s all I’m saying,” Deion Sanders added, confirming that it was his words coming from the scout’s mouth.

Shedeur is playing his way into potentially being a first round pick, while it’s unclear where Shilo could go in the draft. Either way, especially because they play different positions, it’s possible for both players to end up on the same team in the NFL.

Deion played the first five years of his NFL career with the Falcons, so he knows the organization and the city very well. There is no doubt he would love his sons to follow in his footsteps in Atlanta.
