Dieon expressed immense confidence in his son as he added, "I just can't wait to see him get down tonight, but it's going to be a little weird. It's going to be a little strange.

Fans react to Deion's statement
Fans have now taken to social media to share their reaction to Deion's comments.
'Love his confidence. But his son doesn't play that well,' a fan wrote.
'I didn't like Deion in college, the NFL, or interviews on ESPN. He has proved he's an a$$ regardless where he is including as a coach. His sons are just a reflection of their father,' another user explained.
'Deion doesn't just coach his son—he builds him like a weapon. That confidence isn't hype, it's legacy in progress. Watch him prove every word right.🇺🇸' a user chipped in.
'As he should. Shedeur's got the arm, the IQ, and Prime DNA. That's a dangerous combo,' a fan suggested something.
'The Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, Sanders completed 74% of his passes for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2024, and left the collegiate ranks with the highest completion percentage in FBS history (71.8%),' writes Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports.

Travis Kelce Opens Up About Falling in Love With Taylor Swift: "It Was Organic"
National Football League star Tavis Kelce, who is currently dating Taylor Swift, went on record to share how the two fell in love. The NFL player, 35, recalled how he "fell in love" with the pop superstar, 35, in an interview with GQ. Sharing the two connected organically, Travis Kelce shared, "Nothing I've ever done has been a controlled, organized process. When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based on the people we were sitting in a room together with." Despite their very different careers - her sold-out stadium tours and his high-stakes NFL games - Travis Kelce sees parallels in their worlds. He cited their similarities as the primary reason for the relationship. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Travis Kelce (@killatrav) "We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are," he shared. "We share all those values. It kind of just took the f*** off." The couple confirmed dating each other in October 2023 when they attended the Saturday Night Live afterparty hand-in-hand. This was around the time when he was fresh off his team's Super Bowl LVII win, and Swift was in the initial months of the Eras Tour. But reports suggest that the two started dating much before the official announcement. The couple also made their red carpet debut at the NFL players' Tight End University, a three-day summer training camp in Nashville in June 2025.

How Travis Kelce transformed from overlooked pick to NFL playoff powerhouse
How Travis Kelce's relentless dominance redefined the tight end role(Image via Getty) In a draft class often written off as one of the NFL 's weakest, Travis Kelce has not only survived — he's defined it. Over 12 seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has rewritten postseason record books, dominated regular seasons, and outlasted almost every name from his 2013 peers. What began as a mid-round gamble has become a career of rare consistency, peak performance, and history-making moments that even legends envy. From Draft day footnote to the player who commands every playoff spotlight Kelce entered the league in 2013 as a third-round pick out of Cincinnati, in a year that saw few stars emerge. Yet he's now the NFL's all-time leader in postseason receptions, eclipsing Jerry Rice's hallowed mark. He's also delivered nine career 100-yard playoff games — the most in league history — proving that under January pressure, no one produces like Kelce. Beyond volume, his playoff production is historic: Kelce ranks second all-time in postseason receiving yards and touchdowns, trailing only Rice. In an era of fleeting peaks, his ability to dominate when it matters most has become the Chiefs' biggest postseason constant. A decade of relentless dominance that redefined the tight end role Regular season or playoffs, Kelce's numbers tell a story of unshakable dominance. He's the only tight end to post seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, including the position's single-season yardage record of 1,416 in 2020. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing you should Ditch over 40 Learn More Undo His route running, body control, and field vision have made him nearly uncoverable — even as age has claimed many of his contemporaries. His resume includes 10 Pro Bowl selections, multiple First-Team All-Pro nods, and a spot on the NFL's 2010s All-Decade Team. That's not just durability; that's decade-long mastery at a position that demands both punishing physicality and elite precision. From 'Jason's younger brother' to the unmatched star who outshone every name in the 2013 NFL Draft When he entered the league, Kelce was often introduced as 'Jason's younger brother,' riding the coattails of the future Hall of Fame center in Philadelphia. Today, he's the one casting the longer shadow. Most of his 2013 draft classmates are long retired or in diminished roles, yet Kelce continues to be central to a Super Bowl-contending roster every single year. The numbers back the eye test — few players in NFL history have combined postseason dominance, regular-season consistency, and career longevity quite like him. In many ways, he's turned the so-called 'weakest draft class' into a footnote under his own headline. How Travis Kelce's leadership, Patrick Mahomes connection, and dynasty impact redefine his NFL legacy For Kelce, the story isn't just about records — it's about redefining what's possible at tight end. His connection with Patrick Mahomes has created one of the most productive quarterback-receiver duos in NFL history, and his leadership in the locker room has anchored Kansas City's modern dynasty. He's not just the best player of his draft class; he's its enduring heartbeat. From mid-round pick to record-breaking legend, Travis Kelce has taken a year history forgot — and turned it into a legacy the NFL will remember forever.
