Did Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders factor into his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, falling into the fifth round of the NFL Draft before being selected

Travis Hunter was the headliner at No. 2 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars, while LaJohntay Wester (No. 203 overall to the Baltimore Ravens) and Jimmy Horn Jr. (No. 208 overall to the Carolina Panthers) went in the sixth round.

There was speculation that Deion Sanders was at fault for his son Shedeur's NFL Draft slide. The Browns didn't take Shedeur until the fifth round, the No. 144 overall pick, after Shedeur was viewed as a consensus first-rounder.
