Why Deion Sanders Thinks Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter Deserve to Be Top Draft Picks

Friday’s Pro Day in Colorado was anything but ordinary. With Hall of Famer Deion Sanders in attendance, the spotlight was on two standout prospects: quarterback Shedeur Sanders and cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter. Deion believes they are the best players in the upcoming draft, saying, “They should be going 1-2.” His confidence in them is hard to question.

While many experts consider Miami quarterback Cam Ward as the top prospect overall, Shedeur and Hunter are definitely in the mix. Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was present, hinting that one of them could be available for the team if they stick with their second pick.

Deion’s chats with Haslam were friendly, and he felt optimistic about their chances. “I think one of those guys is going to be there,” he said. Unless the Browns decide to trade down, they’re set to have a tough yet exciting decision on their hands.

Historically, young players like Shedeur and Hunter have faced the challenge of joining struggling franchises. Their potential to uplift a team is evident, but the reality is that one player can’t fix everything. The NFL draft process often leaves players with little control over their destinies, and trying to go against that can lead to criticism.

In the last few years, we’ve seen players like these push back against the conventional system. However, the pressure to conform can be immense. As they enter this new chapter, both Shedeur and Hunter must navigate their hopes and responsibilities while facing the realities of an unpredictable NFL.

The excitement is palpable. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see where these young talents will land and how they can impact the teams that select them.
