The perks of being the son of a Super Bowl champion who transitioned to college football to coach his son’s team specifically is having a personal guide and mentor throughout the journey of pursuing football. As Shedeur Sanders approaches his anticipated NFL debut in 2025, he is also nearing the end of his coach-quarterback dynamic with his father, Deion Sanders. However, the young quarterback appears genuinely looking forward to it. 

Shedeur is preparing to enter the highly competitive and professional realm of American football. While his relationship with his father, Deion, will always remain strong, their professional relationship is set to conclude after nine long years.

However, the Colorado Buffaloes senior quarterback is not disheartened by this change; rather, he is early anticipating applying everything he has learned from his father to establish his own identity in the NFL. In the latest edition of his 2Legendary podcast, Sanders opened up about parting ways with Coach Prime next season, sharing that he isn’t viewing it from an emotional perspective.

I’m gonna be able to adjust cause he gave me all the stones and everything that I need… to approach any challenge that comes in life,” said Sanders, responding to a fan’s question about his feelings for not going to be coached Deion next season.

I still got a phone, so I’m still gonna be able to talk to him and everything. But I’d say he prepared me the best he can for me to go out and tackle the world.

Shedeur Sanders added

Previously, there have been rumors and speculations that Coach Prime may follow his son in the team he joins in the league since he’s going to be heavily involved in his draft selection. However, he dismissed all the rumors by reaffirming his love for Colorado.
