On Wednesday with Romi Bean, the Colorado head coach said the idea that he is limiting players to six NFL teams is “a bold-faced lie. It’s a stupid lie. I have more than six owners who are. friends.
Setting the record straight:
I asked @DeionSanders about reports that he is only. leaving Shedeur and Travis Hunter to play. 6 NFL teams:
“That’s a bold-faced lie. That’s a stupid lie.”
While they may not be limited to six teams, it was Sanders himself who dismissed the idea of dictating where the quarterback and cornerback go during the 2025 NFL draft.
“I know where I want them to go,” he said during an appearance on Million Dollaz Worth. From the Game Podcast (h/t ESPN). “So certain cities don’t happen. It’ll be Eli.”
He also said he didn’t want his son Shedeur to “go somewhere cold” and listed the Health. Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders and Baltimore Ravens as possible destinations.
Eli’s comment referred to the 2004 NFL Draft, when Eli Manning said he would not play for the San Diego Chargers. . He was drafted No. 1 overall by San Diego, but was later traded to the New York Giants, where he won two Super Bowls.
Right now, the younger Sanders and Hunter are definitely focused on helping the Buffaloes bounce back from the disappointment. 2024 season before they turn their attention to the 2025 draft. After all, Colorado went 4-8 and 1-7 in Pac-12 play in Sanders’ first season as head coach.
That was good enough for last place in the conference, even though Colorado is in the top 12. this season.
nIf Shedeur Sanders and Hunter lead their team to a better record in the new league, there may be well over six teams interested in them come draft day.
