That didn't take long. Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders has been making a lot of overtures to the New Orleans Saints, specifically as an ideal landing spot for his star quarterback prospect (and son) Shedeur Sanders, a potential top-10 pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
And when news broke Friday evening that the Saints' starting quarterback, Derek Carr, was contemplating shoulder surgery? Sanders didn't wait long to stir the pot again. He responded to a tweet from ESPN analyst Louis Riddick, who had said "That 9th pick gonna be all kinds of interesting," with a fingers-crossed emoji by quoting it with an emoji of his own: a pair of watchful eyes.
