Deion Sanders believes that critics of his son Shedeur are lacking in logic. As the Colorado quarterback eyes a high position in the first round of the 2025 National Football League Draft, his performance over the last two years under his father’s guidance has captivated national attention. In 2023, Shedeur showcased his talents, often stealing the spotlight while keeping the NFL’s aspirations in mind from the beginning. Despite this, skepticism remains.
On Friday, during an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, Sanders voiced his discontent with the ongoing criticism and effectively dismissed it. “It don’t make sense. I don’t think he’s ever been questioned in a game with the strength of his arm,” he stated via On3. “Shedeur is highly accurate. I think he had the highest completion percentage in college football last year, and he’s never slipped down below, I think, 68% completion percentage in his whole tenure as a college athlete.”
As Shedeur approaches the NFL, the critics are likely to multiply, especially given the towering expectations for him to revitalize a franchise. However, it is during such pressure that the best players often shine. Sanders has consistently demonstrated his capability and is prepared to take on the challenge in the league. Ultimately, the trajectory of his career rests in his hands.
