Deion Sanders reverses course, says he won't try to control what NFL team drafts son Shedeur

Colorado football coach Deion Sanders will be happy with whatever team selects his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, in the 2025 NFL Draft. Deion, who implied in March he would advise Shedeur to avoid certain franchises, said that will no longer be the case during an interview with Skip Bayless on Thursday.

Bayless invoked the Manning family in the interview, and asked Deion if he wanted his son to play in New York. Deion responded by saying he would be happy with whatever NFL team selected Shadeur in 2025.

"Honestly, Shadeur has told me, he's talked to me intently about all the visits he's had with all the teams, so I know where his heart is, I know where he wants to go.
