- NCAA. Deion Sanders called out for hypocrisy amid explosive remarks on player compensation
- NCAA. Shedeur Sanders' $4.8 million swagger leaves Travis Hunter and LaJohntay Wester in awe
As the college football season approaches, NFL teams in need of a quarterback, such as the Las Vegas Raiders, are keeping a close eye on potential draft prospects. One player generating a lot of attention is Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who had an impressive 27 touchdown es with just three interceptions last season despite playing with a less experienced ing team. If he continues to perform well this season, there's a strong possibility that he could be a first-round pick in the NFL draft.
Shedeur's father, Deion Sanders, who also happens to be the head coach at Colorado, expressed his thoughts on the potential of his son ing the Raiders. In a video posted on X by Vegas Sports Today, he mentioned, "That would be nice," when asked about the possibility of Shedeur playing for the Raiders during Big 12 Media Day on July 10th.
The Sanders family is known for being close-knit, so if Deion Sanders is positive about the idea of his son playing for the Raiders, it's likely that Shedeur would feel the same way. Deion also expressed his desire for the Raiders to succeed and mentioned that while he doesn't necessarily want them to be in a position to draft his son, he would be happy to see Shedeur in the Silver and Black.
Deion's enthusiasm for the Raiders is further evident in a tweet from Vegas Sports Today, where he expressed his excitement about the possibility of his sons playing for the team and meeting with the Raiders' coaching staff.
Deion endorses Antonio Pierce, fueling speculation
In addition, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce has also received praise from Deion Sanders. Pierce, a former player who took over as interim head coach during the 2023 season and eventually secured the full-time position, has earned the respect of Sanders. The two have a good relationship, and Sanders is ive of Pierce's leadership within the Raiders organization.
The potential partnership between Shedeur Sanders and the Las Vegas Raiders is generating excitement both within the Sanders family and among fans. With Deion Sanders and Antonio Pierce both expressing positivity about the prospect, it seems that Shedeur could be a strong contender for the Raiders' draft plans. As the college football season unfolds, all eyes will be on Shedeur Sanders (and maybe Deion's other son, Shilo) as he continues to showcase his talent on the field.
