That goes for Travis Hunter, too, with the Colorado coach and former Cowboy saying it’s going to be an ‘Eli Manning’ scenario for his two stars next season.
FILE - Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, left, talks with his son and starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders prior to an NCAA college football game against Arizona State, Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023, in Tempe, Ariz. Colorado coach Deion Sanders said the fracture in the back of his quarterback son, Shedeur, has healed and he's gearing up for the spring game on April 27, 2024. Shedeur Sanders missed the final game last season due to the fracture.
On a recent “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, Sanders told the hosts he expects his son, Colorado’s fine quarterback, and Hunter, a terrific two-way threat, to go in the top four picks of next year’s draft. Not only that, he said, one or the other will be the top pick.“I know where I want them to go,” he said. “So, it’s certain cities that ain’t going to happen.
The Mannings weren’t the first to challenge the NFL draft’s primacy. John Elway famously stiffed the Colts in 1983, forcing a trade to Denver. The same year, Jim Kelly opted to play for the Houston Gamblers of the USFL rather than Buffalo, though he eventually caved in. Bo Jackson played right field for the Royals rather than the backfield of Tampa Bay in 1986. Ernie Davis refused to play for George Preston Marshall in 1960, so Washington traded his rights to the Browns.
He was already on record that he didn’t want his son to play in a cold-weather city. That would seemingly rule out Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Minnesota, Cleveland, Buffalo, New England, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, the Jets and the Giants. Deion’s short list so far: Dallas, San Francisco, Washington and Baltimore. Probably not a coincidence he played in all four cities.NFL owners unanimously approve rule that bans hip-drop tackle
