Deion Sanders reveals where he does NOT want son Shedeur to play in the NFL as Colorado QB plans to enter the 2025 Draft: ‘I don’t want that for him’

With his son Shedeur expected to be a top pick in the 2025 draft, Deion Sanders revealed where he doesn’t want him to play in the NFL.

Coach Prime shared that he doesn’t want his 22-year-old son to play in a cold city when he enters the professional ranks.

Shedeur currently plays for Deion in Colorado. In 2023, Buffaloes home games had an average temperature of 59.2 degrees. Their home opener against Nebraska was their warmest at 72 degrees, while their Oct. 13 game against Stanford was their coldest at 44.

“I don’t want (Shedeur) to go cold next year,” Sanders told Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo during an interview with SiriusXM, according to Professional football talk. ‘He grew up in Texas. He played at Jackson (state), he played at Colorado. (The) season ends before it gets cold in Colorado.’

‘I’m just thinking about the future. I don’t want that for him.

Shedeur currently plays for his father in Colorado and is expected to join the draft next year.

Sanders went on to mention the draft’s top prospect, Caleb Williams. The USC quarterback is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in April. While Coach Prime said the former Trojan can “play at full speed,” he also warned that Chicago’s climate might require an adjustment.

Williams began his career at Oklahoma, which Sanders called “not terribly cold,” before transferring to USC. Williams, however, played high school at Gonzaga College and grew up in Washington, D.C., a place that experiences seasonal temperature drops.

“When you take a guy from Ohio State and bring him to Chicago, OK, I can understand that,” Sanders reportedly told Russo about the Bears selecting Justin Fields 11th overall in 2021 after his college career with the Buckeyes.

—But from California to Chicago? Not only that, they added what? One or two more games in the NFL. Seventeen games. Come on man. You have to take those things into account. That matters.’

Shedeur threw for 3,230 yards and 27 touchdowns in his first season with the Buffaloes.

Sanders had his fair share of hot and cold temperatures as a player. He played at Florida State in college and spent stints in Dallas and San Francisco as a professional. He also played in places prone to colder temperatures, such as Atlanta, Baltimore and Washington.

In his first season with the Buffaloes, Shedeur threw for 3,230 yards and 27 touchdowns.

Colorado began by winning its first three games of 2023 before losing three of its last nine to close the regular season.
