Since the day, Deion Sanders appointed his son Sheodeur, the Marshal Marshal for his team in Jackson State four years ago, there has been no shortage of journalists, commentators and fans who have openly challenged if the young Sanders is good enough.
That did not change when Shadeur Sanders has retired Jersey in Folsom Field, one of the six in its history, along with the Spring game of Travis Hunter Duration Colorado. Many, including former Colorado players, found the decision to withdraw those jerseys eight too soon (hunter) or non -dignified (Sanders), given some of the luminaires they have played in Cu and have not removed their shirts.
The fact is that we would like what Colorado decided to do if Deione Sanders was not his chief coach. Less questioning how good is Shedeur Sanders like QB if good, his father’s son.
Good enough to start in a FCS program? He became the first player to win the Jerry Rice Award, awarded to the first first year student of the Nation, in an HBCU, in history.
Good enough to take a team to a championship? The state of Jackson led the consecutive Swac championships.
Good enough to start as Power 4 QB? He was appointed offensive player of the year Big 12 after taking the Buffaloes to his first winning season since 2016 and going through a 4,134 yards school record with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The best player of his team, Hunter, won the Heisman Memorial trophy in part because Sanders was throwing those passes.
The Prime coach has expressed the achievements of his son in every step of the road. In a sport that has seen their fair number or saucepue parents, as special for field marshal, Prime seems to have a strange way to get under the skin of the ethers to do exactly what we ask the parents, particularly the black parents, to do. I asked him if he thought it was fair to recover negative criticism for Bee as committed to her children as a chief coach.
“I’m present,” Sanders said. “I am present and I did not apologize to be present.”
Sanders has five children, one from what he gets more headlines than others, and each of them has received all the gifts he could extend to the subject, including his ability to defend his trust. Prime does not take away anyone, and Neith makes his children. In the NFL Scouting Combine in February, Sheedeur exhibited his confidence.

“If you are not trying to change the franchise or culture, do not catch me,” he said. “We get used to Jackson State to Colorado and change two consecutive programs. So you don’t think I can reach a NFL franchise and change the program again? It is history.”
And he has returned to the shoulders of what those who do not believe in that change have said since then.
“Do you think I’m worried about what critics say, what people have to say? Do you know who my father is? They also hated him,” said Shedeur. “We like adversity. We like everything that comes with the name. That’s why we are who we are.”
Prime was not surprised by what his son said in the Lectern in Indianapolis. It is what has come to expect because that is the son of the son, the son of the children, hears raised.
“My children are not only happy to be there,” he said. “They hope to be there. My children are not funny who applaud. Dargi whether or not they applaud. My children are very good athletes, but they are very good people, and they are seeing that they inflict pain. They are called peas. They are. They are called peas. They are smiling.
So what is it? Why do many question the validity of Shedeur Sanders as a first round selection? The son of talent that can change the fortune of a franchise as Patrick Mahomes made with the Kansas City bosses, CJ Staud has with the Houston Texans or Jayden Daniels with the Washington commanders.

After Shedeur continued to present numbers and victories in a way that no one in Colorado had achieved in almost a decade, I asked Prime why he believes that so many have chosen to criticize and the star athlete who is his son.
“The Sanders, we have a long time for a long time,” he told me. “It’s as if they were tired of us, RJ. I have a success.
“It’s as if people were saying:” This is enough. I’m tired of dealing with him. Can you leave? Here is your son, acting like him. “We don’t want to get anyone.
It is a true leg. Many forgot that Prime had begun to talk about Hunter winning the Heisman in the middle of the time of his first game of whose against a TCU classified in 2023. Some of those cousins said he had one of the best quartbacks in the country in Jackson State in Shedeur.
Or maybe they didn’t. Maybe they will never do it. Maybe there is only so much person on this land can do or say to change a stubborn mind.
What has been safe, thought, is that Deion Sanders and their family have a bone one of the most attractive and striking subjects in sports for almost four decades. And that is not likely to change after the NFL draft. In any case, we will listen and see more of them, certainly no less.
