With both Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders expected to enter the NFL Draft next year along with Colorado Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter, there has been a lot of speculation that head coach Deion Sanders might choose to leave Colorado and join them at the NFL level. But it does not sound like that’s the plan.

During a recent interview with college football analyst Joel Klatt of Fox Sports, Deion Sanders announced that he would not be joining his sons in the NFL, after all.

“I’m a leader of men, not a follower of men. I’m a father, not a baby daddy. I lead my sons, I don’t follow my sons. My sons, Travis included, are getting ready to migrate to the NFL,” Sanders said according to On3.

Instead, Sanders revealed that he plans to stay with Colorado.

“I’m a bonafide leader. Not a daddy, man. I’m a real father. I paved the way for my babies. They’re not paving the way for me. So, I plan on being here and being dominant, here,” Sanders continued. “They are establishing something that we’re gonna continue to build on for years to come. And I’m thankful they’re establishing what they’re establishing.”

Needless to say, this is a pretty significant announcement and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.

Obviously, plans could change. But it sounds like Sanders is planning to stick around Boulder.
