In an exciting revelation, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders is convinced that his son, Shedeur Sanders, will be stepping into the starting quarterback role for the Cleveland Browns this season. Deion shared this bold prediction during his appearance on the "New Heights" podcast, where he hinted, "I've got a feeling when it’s going to go down."

Deion emphasized the importance of patience, advising Shedeur to stay ready as his moment approaches. Although he was coy about the exact timing, he firmly believes that the Browns are gearing up to make a significant move soon.

Further stirring the pot, Deion confirmed that Shedeur turned down opportunities with both the Baltimore Ravens and the Philadelphia Eagles during the recent NFL draft after some intriguing interactions with both teams. Notably, it was Cam Newton who first mentioned the Eagles' interest.

While Deion didn't delve into details about Shedeur's discussions with Ravens' executive vice president Ozzie Newsome, he did back up reports suggesting Shedeur hesitated to join the Ravens because he didn't want to sit behind superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson for the next decade. "How can you fault him for thinking, 'Why would I want to back up Lamar for 10 years?'" Deion remarked.

Before the draft, there were whispers about the Ravens considering Shedeur in the fifth round. However, after realizing Shedeur's reluctance to be a backup, they opted for another choice. Shortly after, the Browns seized the opportunity and drafted Shedeur, making him a more appealing option for immediate playing time.

With veteran quarterback Joe Flacco likely not leading the team for the entire season, Shedeur's main rival for the starting role will be rookie Dillon Gabriel. Given that Shedeur currently sits at No. 3 on the depth chart, he has significant competition ahead.

Yet, as history shows, NFL dynamics can shift dramatically throughout the season. Deion remains optimistic that his son will rise to the occasion, but Shedeur will need to impress to meet his father's high expectations and secure a starting game in the league this season.

For Shedeur, making the game-day roster—something he has yet to achieve—would be an important first step toward achieving his dreams.
