NFL legend Deion Sanders had a message for the world after his son Shedeur Sanders’ draft problems.

Deion Sanders, the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, took to X on April 27, 2025, after his son was finally drafted following his historic slide, and kept it positive.

“Everybody’s worried about what happened yesterday & fear the possibilities of what will happen tomorrow when we should be focused on NOW! What we do with our NOW is what matters the most. Let’s make the most of our NOW. #Dad/CoachPrime,” he wrote.

Deion Sanders also stayed positive during his son’s draft drama. “God is Good!” he wrote on X on April 26.

He also reposted an April 25 post from his son, which read, “Thank you GOD for EVERYTHING.”

That same day, Deion Sanders wrote, “My bible says God uses the foolish things to confound the wise & he chose the weak things of the world that he may put to shame the strong! Please know God ain’t done & God is just really getting started. Enjoy this lesson & stop stressing. #CoachPrime.”

Some analysts blamed Deion Sanders’ coaching and personality style for his son’s’ draft fall as others questioned his talent. Shedeur Sanders finally landed with a team, the Cleveland Browns, in the fifth round, which surprised many experts.

Before the draft, Deion Sanders struck a very different tone, telling a fan that his son would be a top five draft pick.

On April 24, he did retweet a post that read, “The media coverage of Shedeur Sanders has felt extremely purposeful & personal. The anonymous quotes that have circulated are mostly negative. Which is strange. A young man that has never been in trouble, never involved in an off field incident, & quarterbacked two Universities to a resurgence has 0 behind the scenes qualities?”
