“That’s the Worst Thing”: Former Patriots Champ Sounds Off on Deion Sanders-Todd Monken Situation Involving Shedeur Sanders

Deion Sanders says he wants to advise Monken as a coach, not a father, while Shedeur Sanders competes for a starting job.

  • Colorado coach Deion Sanders plans to meet with Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken regarding quarterback Shedeur Sanders ahead of the 2026 NFL season. The elder Sanders intends to offer insight as a coach, not as a father.
  • Shedeur struggled during his 2025 rookie season, with his father alleging that inaccurate reporting and rumors created an environment where the quarterback "went through hell." Deion claims this negative atmosphere hindered his son's pre-draft process and professional transition.
