Shedeur Sanders will likely be one of the first quarterbacks taken off the board and whichever team drafts him will have an intriguing story heading into the season.
For now, all eyes are on his father, as the Dallas Cowboys may try to lure Coach Prime from the Colorado Buffaloes to the NFL. The elder Sanders had been adamant about not going to the pros unless he could coach his sons.

Dallas has the No. 12 pick in the draft and would likely have to move up the ranks to be able to select Shedeur Sanders if that was part of the whole plan.
The star college quarterback spoke briefly with the Dallas Morning News while attending the Dallas Mavericks-Denver Nuggets game Tuesday night.
“I think that would be cool. What do you think?” he told the newspaper.
The Cowboys parted ways with Mike McCarthy after five seasons, with the two sides unable to agree on a new contract. Dallas has the opportunity, but at least one former player doesn’t really consider it a “coveted job.”
Troy Aikman made his thoughts on the situation clear on Monday.

DEION SANDERS HAS “LEGITARY” CHANCE TO COACH COWBOYS BUT UNDER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS, SUPER BOWL FIELD SAYS
“I thought Mike McCarthy would be the head coach, so it’s a bit of a surprise to me today that he’s not… It suggests there’s no real plan,” he said. he declared before announcing the playoff match between Los Angeles and Los Angeles. Minnesota Rams and Vikings.
“I think the Cowboys are obviously a high-level team. Whoever is the head coach of this team will definitely attract a lot of attention, but I think most of the football players who take over as coach- boss want to do it on their terms and it’s hard to do.
“I love the Dallas Cowboys. I played there for 12 years. I wish them luck. To say it’s a coveted position, I’m not sure I necessarily agree with that.”
Deion Sanders hasn’t really cooled down on the idea of taking the job. He confirmed reports Monday that he had spoken with team owner Jerry Jones.

“Hearing Jerry Jones is really delightful and intriguing,” Sanders told ESPN. “I love Jerry and I believe in Jerry. After hanging up and thinking and thinking, it’s intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community.”
