Hold on to your hats, folks, because Deion Sanders might be changing his tune about coaching in the NFL! “Coach Prime” has always been adamant that he’s not interested in making the jump to the pros, but it seems like he might be having second thoughts.
Sanders has been vocal about his concerns with coaching in the NFL, saying he’d have a hard time dealing with highly-paid players who aren’t always willing to put in the work. But in a recent interview, he revealed that there’s one scenario that could entice him to make the leap: coaching his sons, Shedeur and Shilo.
“The only way I would consider it is to coach my sons,” Sanders said. Now, that’s a pretty big statement!
Shedeur is projected to be a top-five pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, while Shilo is likely a late-round prospect. It’s definitely possible that they could end up on the same team, but it’s not a guarantee.
Despite the temptation of coaching his sons in the NFL, Sanders insists that he’s happy at Colorado. He’s building something special with the Buffaloes, and he’s excited about the future of the program.
“I love Colorado. I love everything we’re building,” Sanders said. He’s also confident that the team will remain competitive even after losing key players like Shedeur, Shilo, and Travis Hunter to the NFL Draft.
This is definitely a situation to watch, folks. If an NFL team is willing to take a chance on both of Sanders’ sons, we might just see Coach Prime patrolling the sidelines on Sundays. It would be a fascinating new chapter in his already legendary career. Stay tuned!
