We are getting closer to finding out where Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will be playing professionally.
There will be many wanting him in April.
When Shedeur gets drafted, his dad, Deion, would like the same team to take his other son, Shilo.
An old video of an event in Las Vegas in February resurfaced this week, showing Deion sharing the stage with Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce.
While praising Pierce, the Colorado Buffaloes head coach said he’d like to see both Shedeur Sanders and Colorado defensive back Shilo Sanders end up in Vegas.
“You are truly the best,” Deion told Pierce. “Now I just need you to do one thing: I need you to draft those Sanders boys.”
“Where they at?!” Pierce added afterward.

Many might think he was joking, but Deion has made it clear before that he would “privately” stop some teams from drafting Shedeur if he doesn’t approve of the club’s setup.
He clearly likes Antonio Pierce and the vision that could be coming for the Raiders.
Shedeur Sanders has been adding to the buzz with his posts on social media every time the Raiders lose. He also shared a video of the franchise’s Allegiant Stadium on Friday,
Everything Is Working Out For Shedeur Sanders To End Up In Las Vegas
Shedeur Sanders wants the Las Vegas Raiders, and the team is certainly doing everything to get him.
On Sunday, the team took a big step toward that goal when it lost to the Tampa Bay Bucs, dropping its record to 2-11.
The Raiders now have the worst record in the league and the top pick in the 2025 Draft.
The Raiders must address the quarterback position this upcoming offseason.
Las Vegas has not used a high draft pick on a signal-caller since 2014, when they took Derek Carr in the second round.
Sanders had 3,926 yards, 35 touchdowns, eight interceptions, a 74.2 completion percentage, and four rushing touchdowns during the 2024 season.
