While Deion was unable to join Shedeur on their father-son pre-game walk, Deion prepared his son a speech for the ages that magnifies why he is one of college football’s breakout coaches, a God-fearing man, and most importantly, a great dad.

Colorado Buffaloes’ coach Deion Sanders wasn’t on the sideline for his son’s NFL debut, but Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders still kept a meaningful pregame tradition alive.

Deion Sanders has spoken out about his son, Shedeur Sanders, getting his first NFL start with the Cleveland Browns.

Sanders reflected on his son's pregame walk, which they used to take together along the sidelines at Colorado.

On Tuesday, former Colorado wide receiver and Baltimore Ravens' sixth-round pick, LaJohntay Wester, spoke highly of his former teammate, Shedeur Sanders.

Heading into Friday's preseason matchup against the Carolina Panthers, all eyes were on Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The rookie fifth-round pick got the start with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel all out of the lineup, leaving Sanders and Tyler Huntley as the only two available QBs.

The nest is empty, and Deion Sanders knows it. Yet, he couldn't leave his son alone, even from afar, which is why he was inspired to send a special message.
