Deion Sanders Reveals His Personal Draft Night 'Wish' for Sons Shedeur and Shilo Sanders

One of the growing storylines ahead of the upcoming NFL Draft, which begins on April 14, is where Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders’ sons, Shedeur and Shilo, will land—despite being on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to draft projections.

Shedeur is expected to be the second quarterback taken off the board, which could mean he goes as high as No. 2 to the Washington Commanders or possibly as low as No. 21 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, it’s highly unlikely he falls any further than that.

Shilo, on the other hand, faces a more uncertain path. He’s projected as a Day 3 pick—if selected at all—and could end up signing as an undrafted free agent.

Nonetheless, Deion Sanders opened up during an exclusive interview with TODAY.com, revealing his heartfelt “wish” for his sons on draft night when asked if he had an ideal landing spot in mind for either one.

"First and foremost, I wish they could go together," Deion Sanders said. "That would be great. Secondly, I want them to go to a city that understands who they are and what they bring to the table. A city that they could just be themselves unapologetically. Because I know my kids, they’re not taught to front or fake or be something that they’re not. So I want them to be somewhere where it’s understandable who they are and it’s accepted. And appreciated that they keep it a buck."
