Deion Sanders, aka “Coach Prime,” is never one to shy away from the spotlight. And now, he’s making headlines with some interesting plans for his son, Shedeur Sanders, and star two-way player Travis Hunter, both projected to be top picks in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Get this: Coach Prime says they’re going to skip the draft festivities in Green Bay! That’s right, they won’t be there in person to shake Roger Goodell’s hand and put on those new team hats. Instead, they’re planning to celebrate with their Colorado Buffaloes family back in Boulder.
Now, this might seem like a big deal, but it’s not all that unusual. Plenty of top prospects have skipped the draft in the past. Remember when JJ McCarthy and Brock Bowers didn’t show up last year? It happens.
Of course, there’s still a chance they could change their minds and decide to head to Lambeau Field after all. But for now, it sounds like they’re prioritizing celebrating with their community.
Speaking of the draft, the race for the No. 1 pick is getting interesting. The Giants were in the running for a while, but their recent win knocked them out of contention. That means the Browns, Titans, and Patriots are the frontrunners.
The Browns need a quarterback, and with Deshaun Watson’s future uncertain, they could be eyeing Shedeur. The Titans are also in the market for a new signal-caller after Will Levis’s struggles. And the Patriots? Well, they already drafted Drake Maye last year, so they might be looking to trade the pick or snag Travis Hunter.
It’s going to be a wild draft season, folks! Keep your eyes peeled for more surprises and unexpected twists. And don’t forget to mark your calendars for April 24-26 to see where these young stars end up. It’s going to be a show you won’t want to miss!
