Shedeur Sanders doesn’t believe being away from his father will be a problem in his NFL career as the quarterback enters under the wing of the Kevin Stefanski at the Cleveland Browns.
The 23-year-old produced impressive numbers under Coach Prime for the Colorado Buffaloes, recording 4134 passing yards and 37 touchdowns across the 2024/25 NCAA season as he led the team to the Alamo Bowl.
A true professional! Shedeur Sanders shuts down reporter with elegant response
Yet his start to life in professional sports began chaotically in the 2025 NFL Draft when he dropped to the 144th pick, in the fifth round, despite initially being tipped to go in the first.
Eventually Huntington Bank Field gave him the nod and brought him to Ohio, but now he finds himself tasked with another immediate step to take by playing football without the guiding hand of his parent, but he isn’t worried.

“I’ve been built for this moment, year-by-year,” Sanders said of parting ways. “In college, I was playing for my offensive coordinator.
“It doesn’t feel new to me at this point.”
Whilst Sanders did work closely with the OC at Folsom Field, he has enjoyed a close relationship with his father on and off the gridiron after also playing under Coach Prime for the Jackson State Tigers in 2021.
Spending most of the last five seasons together, they built up an intimate understanding of how each other’s football brains worked, but now Shedeur needs to do all of that learning again with Stefanski.
But there are already good signs on the cards for the youngster. Although he won’t waltz into the starting role, the Browns‘ head coach will give him a shot to compete for the spot against Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel.
“Despite Sanders being a fifth-round pick,” Jeremy Fowler reported. “Stefanski said he will get an opportunity to compete to be QB1 for a franchise that used four different passers last season.
“And has started a league-high 40 different quarterbacks since returning to Cleveland in 1999.”
Whether Sanders takes that chance or not depends on how he performs once he’s calling the plays behind the offensive line.
Deion Sanders stays in Colorado
As his son heads to the NFL, Deion remains committed to the Buffaloes in the NCAA, despite a reported move to the iconic Dallas Cowboys potentially on the cards over the winter.
In the end, the 57-year-old penned one of the most lucrative contracts in college football to mortgage his future to Colorado. He will earn $54m over the next five years, with healthy performance-based bonuses too.
Sanders will embark on his next journey in the NCAA without either of his sons. Not only has Shedeur moved to the NFL but so has Shilo. The safety penned a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after going undrafted.

Pacers vs. Cavaliers prediction, odds, Game 5 pick: Best bet as Indiana tries to oust East’s No. 1 seed
Getty Images The Indiana Pacers have the chance to return to the Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday night. The Pacers have a 3-1 lead in their second-round playoff series against the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers and can close it out in Game 5. Donovan Mitchell's status is up in the air for Game 5 after the Cavs' star hurt his ankle during Cleveland's blowout loss in Game 4. Mitchell averaged 41.3 points per game through the first three games in the series, so obviously his status could swing this do-or-die game for Cleveland.Indiana, meanwhile, is looking to get back to the Eastern Conference finals for the second year in a row.
