Deion Sanders May Influence 2025 NFL Draft

Deion Sanders, head coach of Colorado football and father to potential NFL draftee Shedeur Sanders, intends to intervene privately if unsuitable NFL teams attempt to draft his son or top prospect Travis Hunter. Sanders seeks teams capable of developing his son's quarterback skills, mirroring Eli Manning's 2004 draft strategy. Despite his potential influence, Sanders is focused on leading Colorado, currently ranked 17th with a 7-2 record, and supported by NFL pundit Keyshawn Johnson. The Buffaloes face a key matchup against Utah as speculation about Sanders' future in college or a potential NFL coaching role persists.
