A few 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 there are specific places he doesn’t want them to go.
Today, Sanders was asked about it by CBS Colorado’s Romi Bean.
The clip begins with Bean asking this question: “Everyone’s saying, right, you’re only letting Shedeur and Travis go to six teams. Is this true? Can we get some insight?”
Deion responded: “Who said that and did you see me say that? . . . The thing about a lie, a lie is so fast. It can avoid the truth any day. That’s a bold 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 another seventeen. I believe in the NFL, NFL Network and . . . CBS. I know a lot of people. Come on. So I would never do that. Before I make it public, if I were so stupid, I wouldn’t make public the teams I would like them to play for, but the different ones I wouldn’t.”
Here’s the snippet from last month.
“I know where I want them to go,” Deion said. “So certain cities won’t happen. “It will be an Eli.”
Before that, Deion said he doesn’t want Shedeur to do that play in a city with cold weather.
While the list may not consist of six, he said, “I know where I want them to go.” He also said it “won’t happen” in “certain cities.”
Regardless of how many spots he will approve, the fact remains that 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 time for someone else to do it.”
