Alabama Legend Makes Bold Revelation on Deion and Shedeur Sanders That Could Leave Colorado Fans in Distress

Colorado fans might wanna brace themselves for this one. Alabama legend just dropped a bombshell that could shake up everything for Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders. What he said has left jaws on the floor, and trust us, it’s not gonna be pretty for Buffalo fans. Get ready, because this revelation’s got some serious heat behind it, and it might just set the stage for something huge. Let’s just say, if you’re a Colorado fan, you might want to keep the cold towel handy. Here’s what Alabama legend and NFL star had to say.

Well, Alabama legend Mark Ingram II just poured gas on that fire. On February 5, Ingram hopped on ‘Yahoo Sports’ and was asked straight-up about the possibility of Deion and Shedeur making the NFL jump together. His response? Oh, he didn’t hold back.

“Well, you know, when you go get Shedeur, you know, Prime is gonna be right there too,” Ingram said, making it sound less like a rumor and more like an inevitability. The Saints RB continued, “And so it’s a respect thing, you know. He probably wants what’s best for him. He wants to put his son in the best place to be successful. So you evaluate that like, you know, the kid is gonna have the right hand on the shoulder. He’s gonna have a great support system and a Hall of Fame father, Hall of Fame coach.”

Now, let’s be real here. Shedeur Sanders has been THE talk of this draft class, and for good reason. The man threw for over 4,100 yards, 37 touchdowns, and just 10 picks, all while completing a ridiculous 74% of his passes. He turned a struggling 4-8 Colorado team into a respectable 9-4 squad under his dad. But this whole “package deal” theory has been floating around for months, and it refuses to die. We saw the Cowboys rumors pop up before they settled on Brian Schottenheimer. But even as that storyline faded, the question still lingers: Would an NFL team actually make a move for both father and son?

The biggest question every scout and coach is asking is: Can Shedeur thrive without his dad running the show? Shedeur himself knows this is the elephant in the room. On the latest 2Legendary podcast, he straight-up addressed the concerns, saying, “The main question that everybody wants to know is, of course, it’s the first time being without Dad as a coach.” And yeah, fair question. Deion has been his head coach since high school, guiding him through every level of football. But Shedeur isn’t sweating it.

Then, you know, we just talk about everything and why it’s important to move forward and why I’m the most guaranteed risk you could take,” he added, making it clear he believes his game speaks for itself. When asked what Deion wants for him at the next level, he kept it simple: “To just have success. Do what it takes to win and have longevity. That’s the main thing he’s been preaching with me for the longest.”

Shedeur Sanders in the NFL without Deion Sanders: the biggest challenge?

Here’s where things get tricky. Shedeur Sanders is undeniably talented. His pocket presence, his accuracy, his ability to process defenses—he’s got all the tools to be an NFL starter. But there’s a difference between thriving in college under a larger-than-life personality like Deion and stepping into an NFL locker room where nobody cares who your dad is.

At Colorado, Deion Sanders was the ultimate shield. He took the heat, the headlines, the drama—allowing Shedeur to just ball out. In the NFL, that safety net disappears. He’s going to walk into a locker room where veterans don’t care about the “Coach Prime” hype. And then there’s the biggest X-factor—how Shedeur handles adversity without Deion’s presence. College football and the NFL are two different beasts. We’ve seen elite college QBs struggle under NFL pressure, and there’s no guarantee Shedeur won’t hit roadblocks. Deion himself has always been his strongest advocate, but when things go south in the league, Shedeur will have to navigate those waters on his own.
