Deion: Only way I'd leave college for NFL is 'to coach my sons'

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders frequently dismisses the idea of leaving college football for the NFL, but there's one scenario that could tempt him to make the move.

In an interview with "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, Sanders said he would consider accepting an NFL job if he had the opportunity to coach his sons, quarterback Shedeur Sanders and safety Shilo Sanders, on the same team.

"The only way I would consider is to coach my sons. Not son. Sons," Sanders said. "I love Colorado. I love my Buffaloes. I love everything we're building. I love everything we're doing and I love Boulder, Colorado. I do. Immensely."

Shedeur and Shilo both played under their father at Jackson State from 2021-22 and followed him to Colorado, where they've spent the last two seasons.

Shedeur is among the top quarterback prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft and is projected to be a top-five pick. Shilo's NFL future is less certain, as some project him to be a late-round pick or go undrafted.
