Deion Sanders Embraces NFL Draft for Son, Dallas Cowboys Eye Top WR Picks as Free Agency Heats Up
  • Deion Sanders has shifted his perspective regarding his son, Shedeur Sanders, and is now open to the possibility of him being drafted by any NFL team, regardless of location.

  • This marks a significant change from a year ago when Deion suggested that Shedeur might refuse to play for a team in a cold-weather city, drawing parallels to Eli Manning's situation during the 2004 draft.

  • Deion has made it clear that he will not attempt to control Shedeur's draft situation, allowing his son to face challenges and excel on his own.

  • As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the NFL Draft, they are expected to target a wide receiver with the 12th overall pick, given their lack of depth behind star receiver CeeDee Lamb.

  • Among the top receiver options for the Cowboys are WR Tetairoa McMillan, who led college football in receiving yards, and WR Matthew Golden, known for his speed and agility showcased at the NFL Scouting Combine.

  • Additionally, defensive back Will Johnson from Michigan is being considered as a potential pick, offering long-term starting potential for the Cowboys' secondary.

  • As the third week of free agency concludes, several top free agents remain available, including QB Aaron Rodgers and WR Amari Cooper.

  • Looking ahead, the NFL is set to host a record seven international games in 2025, with anticipated matchups including the Jaguars versus Rams or Seahawks in London.

  • In other team news, the Falcons have signed German kicker Lenny Krieg following his impressive performance at the NFL combine, indicating a potential competition for their current kicker.

  • Meanwhile, Hunter Renfrow is attempting an NFL comeback after not playing in 2024 and is visiting teams, including the Raiders.

  • In a more serious development, former NFL running back LeShon Johnson is facing federal charges related to a dog-fighting operation involving nearly 200 dogs.

  • Lastly, the NFL community mourns the loss of Matt Stevens, a Super Bowl-winning safety who passed away at age 51, and Susan Tose Spencer, the league's first female general manager, who recently died at age 83.
