Deion Sanders Plans Meeting with Browns’ Todd Monken to Discuss Son Shedeur

Deion Sanders, head football coach at the University of Colorado, has stated he intends to meet with new Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken to discuss quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Sanders clarified that his motivation stems from his role as Shedeur's college coach, not as his father.

“This is about my job as a coach, not as a dad. I want to share what I know about maximizing his potential.”

Key Details of the Planned Meeting
  • In-Person Visit: Sanders plans to travel to Cleveland for a face-to-face meeting with Monken.
  • Timing: The meeting date has not been set; Sanders noted a commercial shoot prevented a planned trip next week.
  • Purpose: He expressed a desire to share insights on how to optimize Shedeur's performance, comparing it to his willingness to provide similar input regarding former player Travis Hunter, now with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Criticism Over Lack of Pre-Draft Consultation

Sanders criticized that neither the Browns nor the Jaguars sought his input before the 2024 draft. He stated that negative comments about Shedeur from NFL circles have bothered him, but he believes Monken will communicate directly and honestly.
