Deion Sanders’ Stunning Plan for Shedeur’s NFL Future

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Steven Corder | Last updated Dec 11, 2024 4:00 PM ET

When it comes to the NFL Draft, speculation is as rampant as the talent pool is deep. And when your father is Deion Sanders, the stakes get even higher. Miami insider Nevin Shapiro has weighed in, and according to him, Shedeur Sanders’ path to the pros won’t include the Big Apple.

Shapiro’s Bold Prediction

Speaking with confidence about his sources, Shapiro stated, “Deion won’t let his kid go to the Giants. He wants him on the Raiders.” This aligns with Sanders’ own history of taking calculated risks to shape his football legacy. With Shedeur’s standout season at Colorado — where he’s thrown for over 3,900 yards and 35 touchdowns — his draft stock is soaring. But personality and fit could play as big a role as talent in determining his landing spot.

The Cam Ward Factor

Shapiro added intrigue, claiming Cam Ward is “guaranteed” to land with the Giants, accompanied by Miami’s offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. If true, the quarterback shuffle could push Shedeur into a more favorable scenario in Las Vegas, a franchise in need of a face for the future.

Deion’s Influence

Deion’s meticulous management of Shedeur’s career is no secret. From choosing Colorado to ensuring the right NFL fit, his influence is palpable. Raiders fans: keep an eye on the draft board.

Shedeur Sanders’ NFL journey may just begin under the bright lights of Vegas.
