The NFL quarterback landscape is clear: elite talent under center is key to success. As teams eye the 2025 NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders is emerging as a potential franchise-changing prospect. His impressive two-year stint at Colorado has caught everyone’s attention.
However, there’s a twist – his father, NFL legend Deion Sanders, who’s also his coach, will likely play a crucial role in his son’s NFL destination. Analysts have speculated that Deion would steer his son away from the Cleveland Browns, given the team’s historical struggles with quarterbacks.
But recent developments suggest a different story might be unfolding. Following Shedeur’s meeting with the Browns at the East-West Shrine Bowl, Cleveland Browns General Manager Andrew Berry confidently addressed these concerns, stating he didn’t anticipate any resistance from Deion if they pursued Shedeur.
On Thursday, Deion Sanders liked an Instagram post from @NFLClevelandBrowns fan site, suggesting he would be okay with the Browns drafting Shedeur. This move has sparked speculation about the possibility of Shedeur joining the Browns.
The Browns’ approach during the Shrine Bowl caught attention, as they didn’t ask Shedeur to sit out practices, and he impressed teams with his “IQ and sense of humor.” This detail may have resonated with Deion Sanders, suggesting a potential alignment between the Browns’ future quarterback needs and the Sanders family’s aspirations.
