Deion Sanders, his famous father, tweeted a simple three-word message after his son was drafted at long last: "God is Good!" Included in the post were a few pictures of Shedeur during his time starting for the Buffaloes at quarterback. Sanders is clearly happy his son will follow in his footsteps in the professional realm.

Shedeur Sanders’ shocking fall to the fifth round sparked strong words from Deion Sanders, who blamed "the Devil" for the slide.
