Prime Time says “my kids are built for everything”
There were a number of reports before the 2025 NFL Draft that the New York Giants soured on the idea of drafting quarterback Shedeur Sanders after an ill-fated meeting with Giants head coach Brian Daboll.
Now, Sanders’ father, NFL Hall of Famer and Colorado football coach Deion Sanders, has hit back at the idea that Shedeur would not have been prepared for a meeting with any NFL coach.
“When you sit up there and say something like he went into a meeting unprepared, like, dude,” continued Deion. “Shedeur Sanders? Who has had six different [offensive] coordinators, who has still functioned and leveled up every time we brought somebody new in, and you’re gonna tell me he was unprepared? You’re gonna tell me he had on headphones? Anybody who knows my son understands he’s a professional.
“You got to understand my kids are built for everything… We’ve always been in front of the camera, so they know how to navigate, they know how to handle themselves. You’re not going to catch them in no foolery or no mess. You’re not going to do that whatsoever.”
Todd McShay of The Ringer was the first analyst to discuss a difficult meeting between Sanders and Daboll.
“Shedeur didn’t have a great interview with Brian Daboll in a private visit,” McShay said.
“An install package came in. Preparation wasn’t there for it. [He] got called out on it. Didn’t like that. Brian didn’t appreciate him not liking it.”
The Giants ended moving from No. 34 to No. 25 in the draft to select Jaxson Dart. Sanders went in the fifth round to the Cleveland Browns, a monumental fall for a player who thought he would be selected in the top three.
Honestly, the more all of this stuff swirls around the more I am glad it’s not the Giants having to deal with it.
