Deion Sanders, the father of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, went viral on Tuesday for a quote that he has since denied.
While appearing at the 2025 ProMat biennial trade fair and conference in Chicago, Sanders was alleged to have tipped his hand on Shedeur's draft day preference.
"THIS IS A LIE! We're thankful for whatever God chooses for them," Sanders wrote in an Instagram reply.
Those in attendance at the event were prohibited from filming, which was revealed after Sanders' denial. The original reporter stood behind his source, who quickly made his X account private.
Sanders also addressed the situation on X.
A lie don't care who tells it. It just tries its best to outrun the Truth. #CoachPrime — COACH PRIME (@DeionSanders) March 25, 2025
Sanders has been very vocal about his willingness to intervene in Shedeur's potential destination, implying repeatedly that there are blacklisted teams atop the 2025 NFL draft. However, the New York Giants have never appeared to be one of those, with Deion even suggesting he knew for a "fact" general manager Joe Schoen would keep the No. 3 overall pick and likely target his son.
Shedeur, meanwhile, has developed a strong relationship with the head coach Brian Daboll and the Giants as a whole.
With a month until April's draft, most mocks now project Shedeur to the Giants with that No. 3 overall pick. If selected, he would join a quarterback room consisting of Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Tommy DeVito.

Former Browns WR Elijah Moore drawing rave reviews from new Bills teammates
Former Browns WR Elijah Moore drawing rave reviews from new Bills teammates Wide receiver Elijah Moore departed the Cleveland Browns for the Buffalo Bills late into NFL free agency, but he is already seeing praise heaped upon him by his new teammates. The particular Bills teammate? Pro Bowl and former first round cornerback Tre'Davious White. Unprompted, White had this to say on the now-former Browns and New York Jets wideout looking for a fresh start on his third team: 'He's gonna be a big-time player for us. Route running is amazing, getting in and out, his breaks is amazing.' Moore finished his two-year stint with the Browns with just 1,178 yards receiving and three touchdowns, catching the football from a wide multitude of quarterbacks in that span under some lackluster offenses. Both seasons, however, were career-highs for Moore after coming over from the Jets in a trade before the 2023 NFL draft. Now playing with the first stable quarterback of his entire career, is Moore destined for a breakout season in Buffalo? Besides, Moore did flash in the brown and orange with quarterback Joe Flacco providing the most consistent quarterback play he has seen in his NFL career. It would certainly be a tough pill to swallow in Cleveland if he produces at a high level while catching passes from reigning MVP Josh Allen.

Colts ownership passes to all three of Jim Irsay's daughters, with Carlie Irsay-Gordon taking over as CEO
The Indianapolis Colts announced their new organization structure Monday following the death of former owner Jim Irsay. All three of Irsay's daughters — Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson — will serve as owners with the franchise. While Irsay-Gordon, Foyt and Jackson will have ownership status with the club, Irsay-Gordon will assume the role of CEO. She will serve as the team's "principal owner," per a team statement. The team added these new roles were "longstanding plans set forth by Jim Irsay." Advertisement Jim Irsay died in May. He was 65. The Colts have been owned by the Irsay family since 1972. Jim's father, Robert, initially purchased the Baltimore Colts that year. After 12 years in Baltimore, Robert Irsay moved the team to Indianapolis. Jim assumed team ownership after Robert died in 1997. Under Jim Irsay's ownership, the Colts reached the postseason in 16 of 28 seasons. The club made it to the Super Bowl twice, winning one championship. Much of the success during Irsay's tenure can be attributed to quarterback Peyton Manning, who was taken No. 1 overall by the team in the 1998 NFL Draft. Manning spent 13 years with the Colts, leading the team to the playoffs 11 times. Following Manning's departure, Irsay drafted Andrew Luck with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Luck led the team to the playoffs in four out of six seasons before his shocking retirement in 2019. Advertisement Since Luck's retirement, the franchise has been desperate to find its quarterback of the future. While Philip Rivers did lead the Colts to a playoff appearance in 2020, the team hasn't found its way to the postseason since. Irsay selected Anthony Richardson with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but the quarterback hasn't progressed as expected and is already dealing with shoulder issues this offseason. Irsay-Gordon could be tasked with finding the Colts' quarterback of the future if Richardson struggles again in 2025. Irsay-Gordon, Foyt and Jackson have all held roles with the team since the 2012 season. With Monday's changes, Foyt will serve as the owner and executive vice president with the club. Jackson will be the owner and chief brand officer and serve as the president of the Indianapolis Colts foundation.

Pro Bowl punter Logan Cooke signs a 4-year contract extension with the Jaguars
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Pro Bowl punter Logan Cooke has signed a four-year contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cooke, a second-team All-Pro selection in 2024, was entering the final year of his second deal with the team. It had been unclear how Jacksonville's new regime would handle Cooke's contract situation. Jacksonville, which drafted Cooke in the seventh round in 2018, announced the extension Monday.
