Family Ties: Deion and Shedeur Sanders to join the Jets?
Family Ties: Deion and Shedeur Sanders to join the Jets?

A father and son duo can never be broken up regardless of any circumstance. Coach Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders took this to different heights. Prime has been the only head coach that his son has known for a very long time. From high school, Jackson State, and even in Colorado, the two have been inseparable. One franchise in the NFL might be able to breathe some continuity in this if the draft goes well.
The New York Jets clearly have not solved their quarterback conundrum. From Zach Wilson to Aaron Rodgers, the team has just failed to compete at the highest level despite the money that they continue to spend. A wise investment that many analysts and fans have thought of was to notch the father-son tandem from the Colorado Buffaloes.
There is no greater leverage over other teams that the Jets have than this. They already have an unstable head coaching position after firing Robert Saleh and their quarterback dilemma is only getting worse. So, Deion and Shedeur Sanders could very well be the answer to all of these woes. They are already projected to be at least fourth in the coming NFL Draft which means less assets are needed if trading up would be an option.
Years of mediocrity may have just found their panacea if Coach Prime gets to have his own post with the Jets while he continues to mentor Shedeur. After all, these two have a long history of succeeding with one another. Jackson State became well-known due to their triumphs and the Colorado Buffaloes experienced a huge influx of popularity because of them too. So, will it happen?
