The Cowboys’ quarterback situation has become a hot topic, with whispers of a potential shake-up involving Shedeur Sanders making waves in NFL World. The young gunslinger, son of Cowboys legend and current Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, has been turning heads with his college performances, sparking plenty of speculation. As Dak Prescott’s contract talks linger, some are eyeing Shedeur as a possible successor.
His first-round potential hasn’t gone unnoticed, and his family connection to Dallas adds an extra layer of intrigue to the story. But it doesn’t stop there – rumors are also swirling about Deion potentially taking the reins as head coach if Mike McCarthy’s tenure comes to an end. NFL Analyst John Middlekauf recently chimed in on the “ 3 & Out Mailbag ” podcast, sharing some juicy details that can have fans buzzing.
He recounted a conversation with an NFL scout about Colorado’s prospects for the 2024 season. The scout’s take? “ They look pretty good, they look better than they did last year in terms of talent ,” with a special nod to the “ really impressive ” quarterback. Middlekauf further pinpointed the unique freedom Shedeur enjoys under his father’s coaching at Colorado, a luxury he won’t have in the NFL.
Despite this, the analyst boldly stated, “ I think when it’s all said and done, it’s not inconceivable that he’s the number one overall pick.” However, the road to landing Shedeur Sanders isn’t looking easy for the Dal.
