Fri Mar 28 17:30:00 UTC 2025: **Colorado Coach Deion Sanders Gives NFL Teams the Green Light on Son Shedeur**
**Denver, CO** – Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders has declared he will support whichever NFL team drafts his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, in the 2025 NFL Draft. This marks a shift from previous comments in March where Sanders hinted he might advise Shedeur against playing for certain franchises.
In an interview with Skip Bayless, Sanders explicitly stated he’d be happy if Shedeur landed with any team needing a quarterback, including the New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, or even the Las Vegas Raiders. He emphasized his confidence in Shedeur’s abilities and determination, stating that any negativity surrounding his son only fuels his drive.
Sanders’ change of heart comes after earlier comparisons to Eli Manning’s famous draft-day maneuvering. In March, Sanders suggested Shedeur, like Manning, might refuse to play for certain teams. Eli Manning famously refused to play for the San Diego Chargers (now Los Angeles Chargers) in 2004, leading to a trade that ultimately benefited both the Chargers and the New York Giants.
While Shedeur is projected to be a top pick in 2025, and the Titans, Browns, and Giants are all potential suitors, Sanders’ latest statements remove any uncertainty about his influence on his son’s draft decision. This reassurance is likely a significant relief to NFL teams considering drafting the highly touted quarterback prospect.
