Several weeks ago, Colorado coach Deion Sanders hinted at his preferences for where he wants his son, Shedeur, and teammate Travis Hunter to play in the NFL. Recently, Romi Bean of CBS Colorado asked Sanders about this.
Bean asked if it was confirmed that Sanders only considered six teams for his son and teammate. Sanders refuted this, stating it was a lie, and emphasized his vast network in the NFL due to his playing and working experience.
“I know where I want them to go, So, it’s certain cities that ain’t gonna happen. , , , It’s going to be an Eli.” : Deion said.

He clarified that while he won’t disclose the teams he prefers, he knows where he wants them to go. He mentioned avoiding certain cities, particularly cold-weather ones like Eli Manning famously did. Sanders is planning a strategic move similar to Eli Manning’s and John Elway’s past decisions.
This approach signals a bold move in player choice, echoing approval for such decisions.
