Deion Sanders, aka Coach Prime, has dropped a tantalizing hint that he could be ready for the NFL in 2026—if the stars align. The legendary coach has repeatedly said he would only leave Colorado to coach his son, Shedeur. So, what happens if Shedeur goes No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft? Could the dynamic father-son duo reunite in the professional ranks?
According to CBS Sports’ John Breech, the Tennessee Titans are a likely landing spot. With the No. 1 pick in the 2025 draft and a desperate need for a quarterback, the Titans could select Shedeur. But if the team struggles in 2025, they might part ways with coach Brian Callahan. That’s where Coach Prime could step in—bringing his son and his undeniable charisma to Nashville in 2026.
The Titans have shown they’re not afraid to make drastic moves, having already fired two GMs and head coach Mike Vrabel in recent years. If Amy Adams-Strunk sees the potential in pairing Deion with Shedeur, the Titans could make the bold move to bring Prime to the NFL.
But that’s not all—what if Shedeur falls to the No. 6 pick? The Las Vegas Raiders could be in play, making them another potential landing spot for Coach Prime’s NFL debut. OutKick’s Armando Salguero reported that the Raiders are keeping a close eye on potential coaching candidates, and they could be the perfect team for the Sanders family reunion.
With Shedeur’s draft position and the uncertainty surrounding future NFL coaching jobs, the question remains: Will Deion Sanders make the jump to the NFL in 2026? Stay tuned—this saga is just getting started!
