Was there a more polarizing athlete than Deion Sanders?
Is there a more polarizing athlete today than his son Shedeur?
The son of “Coach Prime” is leaving his father’s college program in Colorado and taking his talents to the NFL.
Where might he land? Let’s get into the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of April 22.
Which team will Shedeur Sanders be drafted by?
Steelers: +190 (bet $10 to win $29 total)
Browns: +200 (bet $10 to win $30 total)
Giants: +215 (bet $10 to win $31.50 total)
Saints: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)
Raiders: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)
Jets: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)
Truth be told, any guess as to where Sanders will end up is exactly that at this point: a guess.
FOX Sports NFL Draft analyst Rob Rang recently dropped his latest mock draft, and he has the Cleveland Browns selecting Sanders at No. 2, having this to say about Sanders:
“Browns owner Jimmy Haslam acknowledging the ‘big swing and miss’ on Deshaun Watson changed everything at the top of the draft. It isn’t often that NFL owners publicly admit a mistake, especially one rehabbing his second torn Achilles with a fully guaranteed $230 million contract, but the Browns appear ready to move on. Sanders’ game is the opposite of his flashy personality. He’s a smart field general who wins with accuracy and anticipation.”
Just Monday, the Saints — picking at No. 9 — had the shortest odds to draft Sanders at +240.
However, as of Tuesday afternoon, the Saints are tied for fourth on the oddsboard, with the Steelers — picking at No. 21 — taking over the top spot at +190, just ahead of the Browns — picking second — at +200.
See?
The Steelers started two quarterbacks last season: Russell Wilson for 11 games and Justin Fields for six.
Wilson, now with the Giants, went 6-5 as a starter. Fields, now with the Jets, went 4-2.
