Deion Sanders predicts where son Shedeur will go in 2025 NFL draft

Most NFL draft experts and scouts agree that Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes have two of the top prospects of the 2025 NFL draft. Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter is widely regarded as the top overall prospect in the class and Sanders’ son Shedeur is expected to go high as well.

Deion thinks he’ll go sooner than any other prospect come Round 1 of the 2025 NFL draft.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame player and Buffaloes head coach appeared on ‘The Pacman Jones Show’ and confirmed his conviction that his son will be the top selection.

‘Shedeur’s going to be the No. 1 pick,’ Sanders said.

‘If the [New York] Giants have the No. 1 pick, who is the No. 1 pick?’ Jones asked.

‘Shedeur’s going to be the No. 1 pick,’ Sanders repeated.

Entering Week 16 of the 2024 season, the Las Vegas Raiders have the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. They’re one of two 2-12 teams, along with the Giants, but are favored this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. A win over Jacksonville would drop the Raiders from the top spot.

Shedeur and Miami’s Cam Ward are considered the top quarterbacks in this draft class and are very likely to be the top two selections if the quarterback-needy Raiders and Giants are in those spots.

‘The Giants are not going to give up their pick,’ Sanders said.

Following his prediction, Jones asked what will happen if the Giants pick Shedeur first overall and the Raiders are next at No. 2.

‘See, that’s when the game starts to play,’ Sanders said. ‘The Raiders could go with Cam [Ward], or it could be some junk in the game and the Raiders could take [Hunter]… or they could slide back.’
