The meteoric rise of quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the college football world has been nothing short of spectacular. His stats for the Colorado Buffaloes—1,251 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and a mere single interception in just three games—have stirred chatter about an imminent move to the NFL. Yet, when the topic of a professional leap next year arose, his father, NFL legend and Colorado coach, Deion Sanders, had a succinct response: “Nope.”
Coach Prime Tells Sons “Y’all Ain’t Going Nowhere”
Shedeur is not the only Sanders sibling catching attention. Shilo Sanders, the older of the two, impressed with an 80-yard interception return touchdown against Colorado State, making his own case for an NFL future.
As whispers and speculations about the brothers’ NFL ambitions become louder, Deion’s stand on the matter is clear. During a recent Denver Broncos game, a candid moment captured Shilo playfully hinting at an NFL stint for both siblings in the upcoming year.
Deion’s retort, while light-hearted, carried an undertone of seriousness: “Y’all ain’t going nowhere.”

Shedeur Projected to Go Early in First Round of NFL Draft
Shedeur’s prowess on the field is undeniably causing ripples in the mock draft community, with projections placing him as a first round pick, possibly even the 14th for the Denver Broncos. However, Deion’s aspirations for his sons appear to anchor them to the college football circuit a while longer.
While Shedeur’s football excellence hints at a Heisman candidacy, Shilo, too, emerges from his brother’s shadow, proving to be a valuable safety. The prospect of having both Sanders in the Buffaloes’ roster for the 2024 season would indeed be a boon for the team, taking the Buffaloes to newer heights.
But the million-dollar question remains: Can Deion’s wishes, however heartfelt, truly deter his sons from the gilded allure of the NFL? Especially if the league beckons with its promise of fame and fortune?
Navigating the crossroads of familial expectations and professional aspirations, especially with an iconic figure like Deion Sanders as both father and coach, the Sanders siblings have some profound decisions ahead. As fans and football fans look on, the unfolding chapters of this gridiron saga promise to be as riveting off the field as they are on it.
