NFL Execs Compare Deion Sanders to Sean McVay; Would Be 'Unbelievable' in NFL in FA

In just two games as head coach at the University of Colorado, Deion Sanders has already taken college football by storm, and there is a belief among NFL executives that he could do something similar at the next level.

Mike Sando of The Athletic spoke to multiple anonymous NFL execs about Sanders' NFL prospects, and one compared him to Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl-winning head coach Sean McVay due to their unique paths and high level of intelligence:

"It will change the considerations, but there's only one Deion. So it's going to be just like, 'I want Sean McVay' and then I hire an offensive play-calling head coach who is nothing like McVay really.
