Why Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter will not be at the NFL Draft 

Colorado coach Deion Sanders revealed that his son and quarterback Shedeur and Heisman-winning player Travis Hunter will not attend the NFL Draft in April.

While both Buffaloes stars are projected to be top 5 picks, Coach Prime confirmed neither Shedeur nor Travis will walk across the stage to shake Roger Goodell’s hand and take pictures with their future teams’ jerseys.

As other NFL aspirants take to Lambeau Field in Green Bay, they will celebrate with the Buffaloes community on campus.

Speaking on the Rich Eisen Show, Sanders revealed that it is more critical for them to be surrounded by their ‘wonderful student body’ for the festivities.

‘You won’t see us,’ Sanders said. ‘We’re good man. We wanna celebrate with our people, with our folks, with our wonderful student body.

Not revealing what the plans are for the draft, Sanders wagged his finger toward the camera and said, ‘I’m just teasing you a little bit.’
