Deion Sanders Calls Out 'Idiots' for Rumors About Influencing Shedeur, Shilo's Drafts

Deion Sanders shut down any rumors that he's trying to influence where his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, get selected in the 2025 NFL draft.

On social media, Sanders called out "multiple idiots" who "will say things that totally aren't true" about the Colorado head coach.

"It will be multiple IDIOTS that will say things that totally aren't true regarding where I would like (Shedeur) & (Shilo) to play in the (NFL)," Sanders wrote. "If I say it I will say it directly to whom it may concern not a attention seeker. I do know (Roger Goodell) personally!"

Though Sanders claims he won't influence where his sons go in the draft, the Buffaloes head coach previously said he'd step in if Shedeur, Shilo or Travis Hunter were drafted to teams he didn't want them to play for.

"All this is subjective because I know where I kind of want them to go," Sanders said in March. "And let's not forget Shilo (Sanders). But I know where I want them to go. There's certain cities where it ain't going to happen. ...It's going to be an Eli (Manning)."

It's unclear if Sanders still has that thought process, but it could shake things up this draft season if Sanders has a say in where his players will get drafted.

Shedeur is coming off a tremendous final collegiate season at Colorado. He had 4,134 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, adding another four scores on the ground.

His outstanding play alongside Hunter led the Buffs to a 9-4 finish.

Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department lists Shedeur as the No. 9 overall player in this year's draft class and the second-best quarterback, only behind Miami's Cam Ward.

While Shedeur will certainly be one of the first players of the board, Shilo might fall a bit further. The safety didn't have the same caliber of season, recording 45 tackles, one sack, two passes defended and a forced fumble.
