Sanders, who is the son of Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders and brother of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, had a laugh, saying: "Dad was our agent, but that hasn't been working out too good. So today I had to sign with an agent."

"This is a repudiation by the NFL of how Shedeur Sanders and those around him handled the entire NFL Draft process," Jones said. "What you're not going to tell me -- or really anyone who watches football -- is that Shedeur Sanders is a worse quarterback than Dillon Gabriel, who was selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Sanders was once projected to go as high as No. 1 overall, with No. 3 overall to the New York Giants seemingly as low as he could go.
