The father-son bond between current Colorado Buffaloes’ head coach Deion Sanders and his quarterback son Shedeur Sanders has been followed deeply for the past couple of years. The two have been instrumental in transforming the current state of football for the Buffaloes which had seen continuous losing seasons since 2017. <\/p>
For Shedeur Sanders<\/a>, life has always been much different compared to many of his colleagues and contemporaries, having grown up with a famous father who played at the highest level of the sport for 14 years. Deion came into the league with a flamboyant personality, but his abilities were unmatched, and he was a rare athlete who played mostly as a cornerback but was also used as a receiver and kick\/punt returner. <\/p> Sanders Sr. has passed on his athletic genes to his children, but none more than to his youngest, Shedeur Sanders, who is now on the cusp of being drafted into the NFL<\/a> as he gets ready to follow in his father’s footsteps. Having said that, the youngster is ready to carve out his own legacy and step out of his father’s shadow, that has been at his side ever since he held the ball in high school. <\/p> The special bond between father and son, as far as football is concerned, goes all the way back to Shedeurs’ days of high school. It was here that the two started a journey that will now culminate with Shedeur being drafted into the NFL. <\/p> Born and brought up in Tyler, Texas, Shedeur went to Trinity Christian High School in Cedar Hill, Texas, where Deion was the offensive coordinator. As the offensive coordinator, Deion had a big hand in the development of his son’s game under center. Shedeur would finish his high school football career as a four-star recruit after having led his team to three state championships. <\/p>Deion and Shedeur Sanders’ Special Bond on the Football Field<\/h2>
