With the Colorado Buffaloes’ season officially over after a lopsided loss to BYU in the Alamo Bowl, head coach Deion Sanders is turning his attention to squashing some of the rumors floating around regarding potential NFL landing spots for his sons, Shedeur and Shilo.
Deion has already been very vocal about Shedeur’s status in the upcoming NFL Draft, proclaiming that his son (and the Colorado quarterback) is “going to be the No. 1 pick.” However, which team has that top pick is up in the air after the New England Patriots moved into the No. 1 overall spot after losing on Saturday to the Los Angeles Chargers and the New York Giants (the team that formerly held the top spot) stunned the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
The Patriots selected Drake Maye with the third overall pick in the 2024 draft, and he has taken the majority of snaps under center in New England this season. With that in mind, if New England has the top overall pick, could the Patriots choose Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter (another Colorado difference-maker) rather than Sanders?
While there is still a week left in the NFL regular season and plenty of time for the final draft order to be established, Deion Sanders took to social media on Monday to make sure he was staying ahead of any rumors floating around regarding the upcoming draft.
