Deion Sanders had preferred teams for his sons before the 2025 NFL Draft. However, not everything went according to plan. While Shedeur took a tumble down the board, the one team that took a chance on him was a laughable option by Coach Prime before the draft.
In an interview ahead at ProMat 2025, Deion Sanders was asked about where he wanted his son to go. He didn't answer the question immediately, but was asked about a team with a top five pick. The moderator wanted to know if the Cleveland Browns were an option for Shedeur.
“Cleveland? What did you say?" Sanders asked. “Cleveland? *Laughter* We are praying for the Giants right now, yes we are.”
Deion's prayers went unanswered. The Giants ended up getting the quarterback they thought was the best in Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart with the No. 25 overall pick. Needless to say, Sanders bet the farm with the rest of the NFL hearing his message loud and clear. Shedeur was passed on until Cleveland picked him No. 144 overall in the fifth round.
Only time will tell if Andrew Berry and the Browns made the right decision. For now, Sanders will compete in a stacked QB room with Joe Flacco taking the lead.
