Several weeks ago, Colorado coach Deion Sanders said he knows where he wants his son, Shedeur, and teammate Travis Hunter to play in the NFL. Deion also said that there are specific places he doesn’t want them to go.
Today, Sanders was asked about this by Romi Bean of CBS Colorado.
The clip begins with Bean asking this question: “Everyone is saying, okay, you’re only letting Shedeur and Travis go to just six teams. Is that true? Can we have some tips?”
Deion replied: “Who said that and did you see me say that? . . . The thing about a lie, a lie is so quick. It can surpass the truth at any time. This is a blatant lie. That’s a stupid lie. I have more than six owners who are friends. I have more than six GMs who are friends. You have to understand that I played fourteen and worked another seventeen. I believe in the NFL, NFL Network and. . . CBS. I know many people. Let’s go. So I would never do that. Before I would disclose – if I was so stupid, I wouldn’t disclose the teams I wanted them to play for, I would disclose the several teams I wouldn’t.”
Here is the clip from last month.
“I know where I want them to go,” Deion said. “So, there are certain cities that won’t happen. , , , It will be an Eli.”
Before that, Deion said he doesn’t want Shedeur play in a cold climate city.
While the list may not be six, he said, “I know where I want them to go.” He also said that in “certain cities” this “will not happen.”
Whatever number of seats he approves, the fact is he is planning a power play the likes of which we haven’t seen since Eli Manning in 2004 and, before that, John Elway in 1983.
And to that we say, “It’s about time someone else did it.”
