Deion Sanders Reveals Eagles’ Interest In Shedeur Sanders

"How in the world, they made a big deal out of — Philly called us on draft day,” Sanders said. "Uh, they didn’t mention that, huh? I just let the cat out of the bag. Philly called...Baltimore (called) and the Browns. They forget, I played for Baltimore, so (we’re cool). So we understood that whole conversation, and he wanted to talk to Shedeur as well, he wanted to talk to me. And I put Shedeur on the phone and Shedeur — I don’t want to say how it went.

“How in the world can somebody fault him for thinking, ‘Why in the world would I go back up Lamar for 10 more years?’ Who comes in with that mindset? Where do these guys come from that sit on these platforms and say, ‘You should’ve sat behind and learned the game and developed.’ When have the pros developed anybody? By the time you get to the NFL they expect you to know what you need to do and do it, or somebody else is gonna get in there and do it...I’ve never sat on the bench and said ‘I’ve learned a lot today.' Who learns sitting on the bench?"

There's been some chatter out there about the possibility of the Eagles having interest in Sanders, but this is the first time Deion himself commented on the fact. There you have it. There was a time, at least briefly, that the Eagles wanted to bring Shedeur Sanders to town.
