As the countdown to the 2025 NFL Draft continues, the speculation around where Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will land in the first round is intensifying. The Buffs‘ star QB, who’s already made waves with his on-field performance and off-field confidence, recently hinted at a shortlist of preferred destinations during an episode of his podcast 2 Legendary.
The top three teams are Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants, and Cleveland Browns. But now, a fourth contender has entered the mix: the New Orleans Saints.
Deion Sanders’ co-host stuns beachgoers with perfect tanning session
And this time, it was his father – NFL legend and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders – who stirred the pot.
Deion Sanders hints at New Orleans while praising his son’s intelligence
In typical Coach Prime fashion, Deion didn’t name-drop too boldly but made his feelings clear when asked about the Saints as a possible destination for his son.
“I like their colors, I like the city, I like the food, I like the people, I like the possibility,” Deion said, delivering his trademark blend of charm and strategy. But beyond the aesthetics and culture of the Crescent City, he dove deeper into what sets Shedeur apart.
“Shedeur is very smart. You can’t lead the nation in completion percentage if you’re not smart. You can’t lead quarterbacks in the history of the game in completion percentage if you’re not a really smart quarterback.”
He also emphasized Shedeur‘s ball-carrying ability and mental toughness, hinting at qualities that NFL franchises covet in a modern quarterback.
These comments have added fuel to the idea that the Saints, who currently hold the No. 9 overall pick, may be eyeing Sanders as their quarterback of the future.
With questions still lingering around Derek Carr and the team looking for a long-term leader under center, Shedeur could be the perfect fit in a system that’s been searching for its next Drew Brees since 2020.

How 48 hours of rage and recrimination overshadowed the Copa del Rey final
Real Madrid were launching one desperate last attempt to save Saturday’s Copa del Rey final when referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea signalled a free kick against forward Kylian Mbappe.With the game well past the 120-minute mark, everyone in Seville’s Estadio Cartuja realised that Barcelona were about to win the game 3-2 and lift the trophy.AdvertisementOn the sidelines, Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger, who, a few minutes earlier, had limped off the pitch injured, leapt to his feet and appeared to throw a bag of ice he had been holding against his leg in the direction of the referee.Amid chaotic scenes, De Burgos Bengoetxea showed a red card to Rudiger, and another to Madrid’s Lucas Vazquez, who had entered the pitch to protest despite having also been substituted earlier.The Basque official then blew the final whistle, and while Barcelona’s players celebrated their […]
NFL Draft: Ranking QBs taken in Rounds 1-3 since 2023 by situation, including Cam Ward, Tyler Shough
Imagn Images The 2025 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and this year's event wasn't without its share of drama. All eyes were on Colorado's Shedeur Sanders as he slipped from consensus first-round target into Day 3, but plenty of other big names found some surprising homes. That includes Sanders' fellow quarterbacks like Tyler Shough, who could end up opening 2025 as the New Orleans Saints' starter; and Jalen Milroe, who's set to watch and learn behind Sam Darnold in the Seattle Seahawks' new-look offense.Talent and smarts alone can certainly elevate young quarterbacks out of the gate. Just look at what C.J. Stroud did in 2023, or what Jayden Daniels did in 2024. More often than not, however, NFL quarterbacks are only as effective as their supporting casts -- their playmakers, their protection, their coaching, etc. And that might […]

Longtime L.A. Kings broadcaster Nick Nickson embracing final playoffs before retirement
In 1981, Nick Nickson embarked on a professional endeavor that took him far from his native Rochester, N.Y. At just 27 years of age, the former disc jockey and broadcaster for his alma mater, Ithaca College, traveled across the country and holed up at the Airport Park Hotel, across the street from the Forum in Inglewood, Calif.AdvertisementThat’s how he started his association with the Los Angeles Kings, with whom his voice would become synonymous. La-La Land, as he jokingly refers to the metropolis he’s long called home, was foreign to him then. Until this job with the Kings came up, he had never been west of Ohio.“I packed two big suitcases of clothes,” Nickson recalled recently. “Left my wife and newborn back east till I got settled. A couple nights after I was in L.A., I walked over and met Bob […]
