Shedeur Sanders is getting exactly what he asked for.
So is his father, Deion Sanders, who started as Prime Time and Neon Deion, evolved mid-life into Coach Prime, and now appears convinced that he still plays in the NFL — even though it’s been 20 years since he last took a snap.
By himself, Shedeur could eventually become the Cleveland Browns‘ next franchise quarterback and kick the historic $230 million mistake that was Deshaun Watson into the distant past.
With daddy Deion talking, talking and talking — while holding a 13-12 record as the head coach of a college football team — it’s surprising that Shedeur was drafted before the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft expired.
Who wants all this baggage?
“You’re going to tell me he (Shedeur) was unprepared?” Deion said on the Say What Needs To Be Said podcast.
“You’re going to tell me he had on headphones? Anybody who knows my son understands he’s a professional. He’s going to go into a meeting with headphones on? Y’all, come on now.”
Which NFL team desires to constantly be in the middle of the 24-7 social media news cycle, all because a 57-year-old dad doesn’t know when to let his 23-year-old son make his own way in life?
No one, except a Browns franchise that has been linked with horrible decisions, backward leadership, and failed QBs for decades.
The reality is that Shedeur’s draft stock was all over the place months before Cam Ward went to the Tennessee Titans as the No. 1 overall pick.
“You’re kind of waiting to see who’s going to be left standing, and it might be him (Shedeur),” ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller exclusively told talkSPORT.
Not hiring an agent completely backfired.
Shedeur first must work his way up the Browns’ depth chartGetty Deion was highly visible at the Super Bowl Cleveland has 230 million reasons to try and make it work with Deshaun WatsonSo did daddy Deion spending the year before the draft hinting that Shedeur wouldn’t play for a bad or cold-weather team, and was willing to play hardball in dictating his professional dictation.
At the same time that Shedeur was reportedly turning off NFL teams, he was sliding down draft boards across the country.
Meanwhile, a 57-year-old who isn’t employed by any of the league’s 32 teams was publicly blasting some of the biggest sport media names in the country.
Coach Prime appeared to insist that ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky had become a hater.
“Yes he did! Wow,” Deion tweeted.
Pat McAfee, Paul Finebaum and Sean Keeler have all felt the wrath of the loudest coach in college football history who’s never come close to winning the College Football Playoff.

“They want to create these narratives and create these stories and then attach them to a kid that ain’t never did nothing wrong,” Deion said after his son fell to the fifth round.
“Stop lying. You gotta understand – my kids are built for everything. … We’ve always been in front of the camera, so they know how to navigate, they know how to handle themselves.”
They also don’t need daddy Deion constantly perfecting the art of bad NFL PR, especially when Shedeur is theoretically trying to keep his head down and get as many QB reps as possible before training camp begins.
Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick — two former pro QBs who are rarely linked in real life — both were affected by the ‘noise’ that surrounded their careers.
The NFL is the most cutthroat sport in the world.
Contracts are rarely guaranteed, while ‘next man up’ is code for ‘your career can end today.’
Talent trumps all in the NFL — as long as there’s not too much extra baggage theoretically dragging down a locker room.
Watson, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel can all be surpassed on the Browns’ depth chart.
Joe Flacco could be the Browns’ best QB this yearGettyShedeur completed 71.8 percent of his passes for 7,364 yards and 64 touchdowns at Colorado, and finished eighth in Heisman Trophy voting last season.
Those eye-popping numbers proclaim that he should have been a first-round pick.
The obvious reason why he fell all the way to the fifth round is that NFL teams were scared off by something.
Or someone.
Living the high life with NIL cash and oozing swagger is enough in college.
Hundreds of pro players have already done the same, which means that Shedeur will have to be truly special to stand out in the NFL.
The Browns got it horribly wrong with Watson.
Shedeur could become the fifth-round pick who finally lifts up Cleveland.
He just needs his dad to stay on the college sideline — at least until the Browns’ fifth-best QB wins the starting job and does better than a 3-14 record.
