The central question surrounding the upcoming NFL draft is which team will select the son of the legendary Deion Sanders. This topic is dominating discussions, extending beyond sports media to casual football fans.
The draft features a wealth of talented players, but Sanders has been the primary focus. The Colorado quarterback, whose father is a Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback, has been projected to be drafted anywhere from the second overall pick to outside of the first round.
The Tennessee Titans are expected to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick. Ward has expressed his excitement about potentially joining the Titans. He has already met with the team's controlling owner.
The Cleveland Browns are likely to select two-way star Travis Hunter with the second pick. The New York Giants, holding the third pick, were previously in the market for a quarterback but have since signed veteran players. While Sanders could still be a possibility for the Giants, the team has other needs, including edge rushers and offensive linemen.
Other potential landing spots for Sanders include the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, and Pittsburgh Steelers. These teams have varying quarterback situations, with some having recently acquired or signed veteran players.
Sanders is widely considered a first-round talent, likely to be selected after Ward. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has praised Sanders' toughness and competitive spirit. However, some anonymous coaches and scouts have criticized his personality. Sanders has stated he will remain true to himself. He will not be attending the draft.
Other quarterbacks who could be selected in the first round include Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe. The draft could also see a significant number of defensive linemen selected. Last year's draft was heavily focused on offensive players, but this year's draft is expected to be more balanced.
