Deion Sanders is on his LaVar Ball arc. The Head Coach of the Colorado Buffaloes elevated the team from a 4-8 to a 9-3 win team. In their last season playing college football, his sons Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders put up impressive numbers and proved that they have what it takes to make it in the NFL.
The next stop for the duo is the league and Coach Prime has begun to smooth things over with NFL Head Coaches on behalf of his sons! At a recent event, Deion Sanders shared the stage with Las Vegas Raiders HC Antonio Pierce, it was at this event that Prime saw fit to set things in motion.
The Raiders are the worst team in the NFL along with the Jacksonville Jaguars having won just 2 games this year. If the season were to end tomorrow, they would get the top pick in the draft and if there is one thing that Las Vegas could use, it is a quarterback.
Deion Sanders understands that and he knows Shedeur would be a great fit in Vegas. After he showed his appreciation for Pierce, Sanders asked him for one small favor. Coach Prime is speaking things into existence.
I’m so proud of you. You are truly the best…Now I just need you to do one thing for me. I need you to draft those Sanders boys next year!

Deion Sanders knows Antonio Pierce and the Raiders need to draft a quarterback and a defensive back
Things are shaping up just how he wants it to be. Yesterday, Shedeur Sanders posted a video of him driving by Allegiant Stadium and captioned it with “Legendary” which excited fans of the Raiders as it showed eagerness on his part to join the franchise.
Another reason why the Raiders should be considered as frontrunners to land Shedeur Sanders is because of Tom Brady. The part-owner of the Raiders is a close friend of Deion Sanders and has mentored Shedeur through his time at Colorado.

Coming to the defensive side of the ball, the Raiders could use a corner as the team’s defense has not played up to the expectations of Pierce this season. This would give the Sanders brothers a chance to reunite and play on the same team yet again.
While this is the ideal scenario, the question arises will Mark Davis and GM Tom Telesco be open to this? As per ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez, the rumors of the owner having given a mandate of drafting a QB to Tom Telesco are not true. So there is a 50/50 chance of them spending their top 3 draft pick on a quarterback.
On the positive side, Mark Davis had revealed earlier in the team’s October meeting that with Tom Brady as part of the ownership the team will look to “select a quarterback in the future and potentially train him as well.” The future will be bright in Vegas if the Sanders boys manage to wind up there.
