Deion Sanders Makes Painful Shedeur Sanders Admission

At long last, Colorado Buffaloes head football coach Deion Sanders went on the record with his true feelings about his son, Shedeur Sanders, falling to the Cleveland Browns in the 2025 NFL Draft.

More than one month after the Buffaloes' projected first-round QB prospect unexpectedly dropped to the 144th overall pick in the fifth round, Coach Prime admitted to Asante Samuel how it felt to see his son get passed up round after round.

"They want to create these narratives and create these stories and then attach them to a kid that ain't never done nothing wrong," Sanders said on Samuel's "Say What Needs To Be Said" podcast on Friday.

"How did that make you feel?" asked the former New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback.

"You have no idea, man," the Colorado coach expressed with a twinge of sadness in his voice. "You have no idea."

Deion specifically referenced the allegations that Shedeur went into pre-draft interviews with NFL teams unprepared, including the rumor that the 23-year-old quarterback wore headphones during a meeting.

Even as Samuel tried to move the conversation onto other topics, Coach Prime took one last chance to publicly share how much pain he felt during Shedeur's draft slide.

"It did hurt, though," he admitted.

Meanwhile, Shedeur is busy proving his worth on the field to his new team during Cleveland's organized team activities (OTAs) this offseason.

"I like everything there is about Shedeur," Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told ESPN Cleveland of the rookie's off-field demeanor.

He is in a quarterback battle that includes fellow Browns rookie Dillon Gabriel and NFL veterans Deshaun Watson, Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett.
