The concept of Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders coaching his son, Shedeur, at the NFL level doesn't have unanimous approval.

"I hope for Shedeur that doesn't happen and he has to be his own man in his own career," an AFC executive said, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Adam Rittenberg.

Shedeur has started at quarterback under his father dating back to their days at Jackson State. Since the pair joined Colorado in 2022, they've both helped the school's impressive turnaround.

After finishing with a 1-11 record in the year prior to the coaching change, the Buffaloes finished 4-8 in their first season under Deion and currently sit at 9-3 during their 2024 campaign.
