GOOD NOWS:Deion Sanders envisions his son Shedeur having a “Eli” draft potential………..

Last year, he exploited the college football transfer portal. Deion Sanders, a former cornerback for the Cowboys, is now aiming for a larger target.

NFL Draft in 2025.

For the 2023 campaign, the Boulder-based Colorado Buffaloes head coach brought in a virtually entirely new group. Other coaches swiftly adopted his strategy.

Last year, he and his squad were the talk of college football, despite having a 4-8 record in his debut season at the highest level.

The majority of his coaching colleagues are preparing for the next campaign. NFL general managers are getting ready for next month’s draft.

However, Sanders—who now goes by the moniker “Coach Prime”—has his sights set farther forward. He wants two picks out of the first four overall, in addition to landing two of his guys in the first round.

And he thinks that his son, starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders of the Buffaloes, will be one of them.

Travis Hunter, a two-way starter, will be the other, he claims. Hunter missed multiple games due to a lacerated liver, yet he was still mentioned in the Heisman conversation.

However, Sanders has other goals in mind for April 2025.

In an episode of Million Dollarz Worth Of Game (Episode 266), Sanders made hints about his intentions for his star cornerback/receiver son.

Specifically, which NFL team they will be selected by. or more accurately, which teams would not select his guys in the draft.

Sanders stated last week on the show, “I know where I want them to go.” Therefore, in some cities, it won’t happen. There will be an Eli.

Sanders was alluding to the NFL Draft of 2004, in which the San Diego Chargers were the first choice.

That year, Eli Manning was without a doubt the top pick.

However, even if the Chargers were to choose Eli, the Manning family would not be able to provide his services. The Chargers selected him in the first round.

After Phillip Rivers was drafted by New York, San Diego traded him to the Giants.

It resulted in two Super Bowl victory for the Giants. The Chargers are still in search of their first trip to the Super Bowl since 1994.

A similar action was taken by John Elway before the 1983 Draft.

That year, he was without a doubt the first pick in the draft, with the Baltimore Colts having the top pick.

Furthermore, Elway had no plans to play for the Colts. In the event that Baltimore selected him but did not trade him, he even made a threat to play baseball with the New York Yankees.

After choosing Elway, the Colts were able to work out a trade with Denver.

They left for Indianapolis the following year and didn’t do much until Peyton Manning arrived, which was over twenty years later.

The Broncos?

The issue with Sanders’ proposal, though, is that it lists the Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys as suitable NFL teams to visit.

John Elway and Eli Manning were almost certainties to be successful in the NFL. Both played collegiate football at the highest level as three-year starters.

Shedeur Sanders has only been at the top for a single year. This autumn, in his second year of collegiate football, will also be his final one.
