Shawne Merriman recently appeared on Outkick's 'Hot Mic' to discuss Deion Sanders’ reported reluctance to let his son, Shedeur Sanders, play for certain NFL teams. The Colorado Buffaloes standout QB is projected to be a first-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, considered as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL Draft, may fall beyond the top-20 picks, according to a new mock draft. Sanders (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) finished first nationally in completion percentage (74%), second in touchdown passes (37) and fourth in passing yards (4,134) in his senior season with the Buffaloes.
