The Colorado Buffaloes wrapped up their college football season with a tough 36-14 loss to the BYU Cougars in the Valero Alamo Bowl. With the season now behind them, the spotlight has turned to Shedeur Sanders, Colorado’s star quarterback and son of head coach Deion Sanders, as he prepares for the 2025 NFL Draft.
But as draft speculation heats up, Deion Sanders wasted no time addressing false narratives swirling online about Shedeur. A fake report from a troll account on X (formerly Twitter) claimed Shedeur was unwilling to play for certain NFL teams, including the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans.
The post, attributed to the fake account @WesSteinberg, quickly gained traction before Deion took to social media to set the record straight.
In a since-deleted post, Deion clapped back at the fabricated report, writing, “I got time today,” implying he was ready to take on false claims.
Deion Sanders Defends His Sons
Deion followed up with a series of posts addressing the broader issue of misinformation surrounding his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders.
“It will be multiple IDIOTS that will say things that totally aren’t true regarding where I would like @ShedeurSanders & @ShiloSanders to play in the @NFL,” Deion wrote on X. “If I say it, I will say it directly to whom it may concern, not to an attention seeker. I do know @nflcommish personally! ?drop.”
The coach’s post was a clear message to detractors and rumor spreaders that he wouldn’t tolerate false narratives.
Fans Rally Behind Coach Prime
Deion’s frustration struck a chord with fans, many of whom supported his effort to shut down the baseless rumors.
“Speak it, Coach Prime!” one fan replied. “Prime has spoken ?,” wrote another.
“They’re trying to act like you told NFL teams your sons could only play for specific teams. Let them know, Deion!” another commenter said.
“We ain’t falling for that, Coach!” echoed another supporter.
Shedeur’s Draft Potential
As speculation about Shedeur’s NFL future grows, some mock drafts are already positioning him as a top pick. His impressive stats, leadership qualities, and ability to perform under pressure have made him one of the most sought-after prospects in the 2025 draft class.
Deion’s vocal defense of his son underscores the family’s commitment to controlling their narrative as Shedeur transitions to the next level. With Shedeur’s NFL future taking shape, fans and analysts alike will be closely watching how the Sanders family navigates this new chapter.

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the Sanders family will remain in the spotlight, whether addressing baseless rumors or celebrating Shedeur’s accomplishments.
