Back in March, Deion Sanders served as the keynote speaker at a conference held for ProMat. During the event, he was asked about his thoughts on the draft and the fact that both of his sons might get selected. "I am excited about the potential of them going to the [NFL] and where they're going to go," Sanders said on March 19.

University of Colorado head football coach and Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders took to social media Friday following his son, Shedeur Sanders, sliding to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft last weekend.

Deion Sanders warned everyone last year, in context to his CU Buffs boys: "Don't allow their hatred for me to interfere with our kids' success." At the time, it sounded like a rallying cry for Travis Hunter’s Heisman campaign.
