Deion Sanders is ready to intervene so that his son Shedeur does not fall into a poorly managed team. But would he really be ready to follow him to the NFL?
Apparently, yes. But in a very simple case: that they arrive in the same team. This is what Armando Salguero, who has been following the NFL for a long time and now officiates, reports on Outkick.com.
A scenario confirmed by former Cowboys Michael Irvin, on FS1, who responded to the idea that Deion could follow Shedeur if he went to the Cowboys.
“I believe 100% that he would, and I can tell you that I have been told that by very good sources. »
The scenario would therefore be the following: a team hires Deion Sanders at the end of the season, and this same team selects Shedeur during the Draft at the end of April.
Obviously, it would have to be a franchise at the very end of the table. Because Shedeur could very well be the very first choice of the selection.
A possible package, but not everywhere
A simple idea on paper, but not necessarily in practice in the teams currently tied with two victories. The Titans and Raiders might have the top pick, but both franchises have a coach in his first year. Would they be willing to fire him to bring in Sanders?
On the Jaguars side, the opposite problem. The coach seems set to leave, but Trevor Lawrence is there.
This would be more feasible for the Giants or Browns, who need a pitcher, and could thank their coach. Especially in New York, where Brian Daboll seems on borrowed time.
More fun, the Cowboys are not that far away, with only three victories. But Dak Prescott is there. And would Jerry Jones support a media character as entertaining as him and who could overshadow him?
Shedeur Sanders chooses the Shrine Bowl
One of the most prominent quarterbacks for the next draft, Shedeur Sanders (Colorado), accepted the invitation of the East-West Shrine Bowl to participate in its hundredth edition. The Shrine is the direct competitor (but slightly less prominent) of the traditional Senior Bowl. The two events are in a way All-Star Games allowing the best college players to showcase themselves as the draft approaches.
The Shrine Bowl has improved in recent years, attracting more and more sought-after players. Zay Flowers (WR), chosen in the first round by the Ravens in 2023, for example, participated. Sanders has the ambition to be the first quarterback called up in April and there is no doubt that a good performance in this game would put even more chances on his side.
A first step towards the NFL.
