While Shedeur Sanders is gearing up for the NFL draft this spring, his father’s name has been at the forefront of NFL rumors in recent weeks.

After the Dallas Cowboys parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy, Deion Sanders quickly emerged as a top candidate for the position. Amid speculation that Sanders could leave Colorado for the NFL, Shedeur gave his thoughts on the matter.

“It’s not really up to me. I don’t really have a say in anything at all,” Shedeur said (9:50 mark). “I’m coming into the league, I don’t have too much of a say so. I’m just thankful for whatever situation comes.”

While Shedeur won’t try to influence his decision, it seems Sanders could be heading to Dallas if he gets the offer. According to NFL insider Ed Werder, Sanders “would almost certainly accept” the position if it were offered to him. Werder also reported that many around Sanders are “encouraging him to pursue it.”

Whether Sanders is an NFL coach will not impact whether Shedeur plays at the next level as the Colorado star quarterback is widely projected to be one of the first players off the board. Bleacher Report’s NFL Scouting Department projects Shedeur to go to the Tennessee Titans with the first overall pick.
