Shedeur Sanders has been causing quite a stir in Las Vegas. It seems like he fits right into the flashy and glitzy atmosphere of Sin City. As I chatted with Patrick Brannon, a devoted Raiders fan from Jamestown, Tenn., he made it clear that Shedeur is the number one pick in his book for next year's team. Brannon believes that the Raiders need some serious help and Shedeur is the answer. In order to be successful in the NFL, a team needs a quarterback who can lead them to victory, and that requires a hefty price tag. Brannon is convinced that Shedeur is worth every penny and could be the key to the Raiders' success.
As we continued our conversation, I couldn't help but ask Brannon about the possibility of Deion Sanders taking on a coaching role for the Raiders. Brannon paused for a moment before laughing and expressing his hesitation. He explained that Deion has a reputation for being high-maintenance and bringing drama wherever he goes. But let's be real, the Raiders have never shied away from a little drama. In fact, it seems to be a part of their identity. The fans, known as Raider Nation, are more than ready for Shedeur to join their team. They don't just want him, they need him.
Vegas is a town known for its flashy billboards, and Shedeur, with his Pro Bowl arm and Super Bowl-worthy smile, is the perfect billboard quarterback. Sure, Gardner Minshew is fun and all, but he just doesn't have the star power that Shedeur possesses. As a quarterback, you need to be the guy whose name is plastered on the top of the marquee, daring people to look away. That's exactly what Shedeur brings to the table. And with the recent injury to Minshew, the opportunity for Shedeur to make a name for himself in the NFL has never been more perfect.
As we strolled down the Strip, it became clear that Shedeur would fit right in with the bright lights and big names. Dave Houchin, a Raiders fan from Walla Walla, Wash., mentioned that he believes Las Vegas would be a great fit for Shedeur. He compared it to other big cities like Los Angeles and New York, where larger-than-life personalities thrive. However, Houchin did express some concern about the potential of a father-son coaching duo. He admitted to being a fan of Deion as a player, but wasn't sure if he wanted the father-son dynamic on the Raiders. But as we all know, the Raiders have never been ones to shy away from the unconventional.
Speaking of unconventional, Chris Guzman, a devoted Raider Nation member, is all for the idea of Deion joining the team. He believes that Shedeur is a talented quarterback with a father who has pushed him to be the best. Guzman is hopeful that Shedeur will create his own legacy, but also live up to the Sanders name. He shared his excitement at the possibility of seeing Shedeur play for the Raiders, a dream he has had since Deion was a football and baseball player.
However, Guzman also acknowledges that Shedeur alone cannot fix all of the Raiders' problems. He believes that the team needs to find coaches who can utilize the strengths of their players. And if they do end up getting Shedeur, they need to ensure that the coaching style is a good fit for his skills and the team's overall system. But who knows Shedeur's skills better than his own father? Drama or not, Deion could be the perfect fit for the Raiders.
As we walked around Allegiant Stadium, it was clear that this was the perfect home for Shedeur. The stadium, with its silver accents and grand design, is a precious keepsake box and Shedeur would be the jewel in the crown. And if the recent mock drafts are any indication, it seems like the Raiders could have a shot at drafting Shedeur with their current draft position. Plus, with Tom Brady as a Raiders minority owner and Mark Davis as an owner who is not afraid to give Deion whatever he wants, the stars seem to be aligning for Shedeur to join the Raiders.
It's safe to say that the Raiders and their fans are more than ready for Shedeur to join their team. They want him, they need him, and they believe that he could be the key to their success. As Brannon mentioned, the decision may have already been made behind closed doors. But one thing is for sure, if Shedeur does end up in Vegas, he will be welcomed with open arms by the city and its fans. And who knows, maybe his presence will bring the Raiders back to their former glory.
