During an illustrious NFL career that ultimately landed him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Deion Sanders became known for his flashy personality and game-breaking speed. Sanders's son Shedeur, a projected top pick in the 2025 NFL draft, shares his father's big-play ability, but as some, including ProFootballTalk's Chris Simms, pointed out, not his father's speed.
During an appearance on ProFootballTalk Live on Friday, Simms mentioned that he was shocked that Sanders, as well as Deion's other son Shilo, didn't inherit his speed. After jokingly blaming his son's lack of speed on their "mama's side" of the family, Sanders went on to explain why it's actually a good thing for Shedeur.
